On 1st September 2014 there were 5400 trees planted in a wood.
On 1st September 2015, only 5184 of these trees were still alive.
It is assumed that the number of trees still alive is given by N = art
where / is the number of trees still alive t years after 1st September 2014.
a) Write down the value

c) Show that on 1st September 2040
the number of trees still alive is predicted
o have decreased by over 65% compared
with September 2014.

b) Show that r = 0.96​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. a = 5400

2. r = 0.96

3. Percentage decrement = 65.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

N = ar^t

Solving (a): Write down the value of a

a implies the first term

And from the question, we understand that the initial number of trees is 5400.

Hence,

a = 5400

Solving (b): Show that r = 0.96

Using

N = ar^t

When a = 5400, t = 1 i.e. the first year and N = 5184

Substitute these values in the above expression

5184 = 5400 * r¹

5184 = 5400 * r

5184 = 5400r

Solve for r

r = 5184/5400

r = 0.96

Solving (c): Show that the trees has decreased by over 65% in 2040

First, we need to calculate number of years (t) in 2040

t = 2040 - 2014

t = 26

Substitute 26 for t, 5400 for a and 0.96 for r in N = ar^t to get the number of trees left

N = 5400 * 0.96^26

N = 1868.29658019

N = 1868 (approximated)

Next, we calculate the percentage change as thus:

%Change = (Final - Initial)/Initial * 100%

Where the initial number of trees =5400 and final = 1868

%Change = (1868 - 5400)/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532/5400 * 100%

%Change = -3532%/54

%Change = -65.4%

The negative sign indicates a decrements or reduction.

Hence, percentage decrement = 65.4% and this is over 65%

he

Addit

Answers

Answer:

It will take them (Matt and Chris) 0.395 hours to be 64 miles apart

It will take 5.5 hours for the boats to be 66 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine the time when Matt and Chris will be 64 miles apart, that is, when the total distance traveled by both of them will be 64 miles.

Let the time be t and

Let the distance covered by Matt be S₁ and the distance covered by Chris be S₂.

For Matt,

From the question, Matt drives at a speed of 79 miles per hour

From the formula

Distance = Speed × Time

S = v × t

∴ S₁ = 79×t

S₁ = 79t

For Chris,

From the question, Chris drives at a speed of 83 miles per hour

Using the same formula,

∴ S₂ = 83 × t

S₂ = 83t

To determine when they will be 64 miles apart, that is when S₁ + S₂ = 64 miles.

Hence,

S₁ + S₂ = 79t + 83t

∴64 = 79t + 83t

64 = 162t

t = 64/162

t = 0.395 hours

Hence, it will take them 0.395 hours to be 64 miles apart.

For the boats,

To determine how many hours it will take them to be 66 miles apart, that is when the total distance traveled by the two boats will be 66 miles.

Let the time be t and

Let the distance traveled by the northbound boat be S₁ and the distance traveled by the southbound both be S₂.

From the question,

The northbound boat travels five miles per hour

From the formula

Velocity = Distance / Time

Then, Distance = Velocity × Time

That is, S = v × t

Hence, for the northbound boat,

S = S₁

v = 5 miles per hour

∴ S₁ = 5t

Also from the question,

The  southbound boat goes seven miles per hour

Hence, for the southbound boat

S = S₂

v = 7 miles per hour

∴ S₂ = 7t

To determine when the boats will be 66 miles apart, that is when S₁ + S₂ = 66 miles

Then,

S₁ + S₂ = 5t + 7t

Hence,

66 = 5t + 7t

66 = 12t

t = 66/12

t = 5.5 hours

Hence, it will take 5.5 hours for the boats to be 66 miles apart.

The distance an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time it falls. A ball falls 144 feet in 3 seconds. How far will an object fall in 4 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

d = 256 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time it falls.

First, we name the variables.

Let d= the distance.

t= time

Write the formula for direct variation, where y varies directly with the square of x.

y=kx2

We will use d in place of y and t in place of x.

d=kt2

Substitute the given values for the variables.

d=144whent=3144=k⋅32

Solve for the constant of variation.

144916=k⋅99=k

Write the equation that relates d and t.

d=kt2

Substitute in the constant of variation.

d=16t2

Find d when t=4.

Write the equation that relates d and t.

d=16t2

Substitute the given value for t.

d=16⋅42

Simplify.

d=256

An object will fall 256 feet in 4 seconds.

The required distance fall by fall in 4 seconds is 192 feet.

Given that,
The distance an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time it falls. A ball falls 144 feet in 3 seconds, how far will an object fall in 4 seconds is to be determined.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements. There are four major arithmetic operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

here,
The rate of fall of the ball = 144 / 3
                                      = 48 feet second
Now distance fall by the ball in 4 seconds = 48 * 4 = 192 feets.


Thus, the required distance fall by fall in 4 seconds is 192 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pilot sample can be regarded as the

small scale preliminary experiment whereby a smaller size of samples which is smaller compare to expected size is taken population of interest which gives the estimate for the population standard deviation.

The population standard mean is a parameter and it's been calculated from every entity of the population and

can be calculated using below formula

σ =√Σ (xi -μ)^2 /N

Where N= size of the population

σ= population standard mean

μ= population mean

What is the measure of an angle if the measures of its two adjacent supplementary angles add up to 100°?

The answer is not 80 btw

Answers

Answer:  130

Explanation:

Let x be the unknown angle we want to find.

Let y be adjacent and supplementary to x. This means x+y = 180

Let z also be adjacent and supplementary to x. So x+z = 180 also

Subtracting the two equations leads to y-z = 0 and y = z. So effectively we've proven the vertical angle theorem.

Since the supplementary angles to x add to 100, we know that y+z = 100. Plug in y = z and solve for z

y+z = 100

z+z = 100

2z = 100

z = 100/2

z = 50

Therefore,

x+z = 180

x+50 = 180

x = 180-50

x = 130

Answer:

130°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown angle we want to find.

Let y be adjacent and supplementary to x. This means x+y = 180

Let z also be adjacent and supplementary to x. So x+z = 180 also

Subtracting the two equations leads to y-z = 0 and y = z. So effectively we've proven the vertical angle theorem.

Since the supplementary angles to x add to 100, we know that y+z = 100. Plug in y = z and solve for z

y+z = 100

z+z = 100

2z = 100

z = 100/2

z = 50

Therefore,

x+z = 180

x+50 = 180

x = 180-50

x = 130
