A tree is 4 1/2 feet tall. It is expected to grow 1 3/4 feet per year. At this growth rate, how many years will it take for the tree to have a height greater then 40 feet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

21 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Height = 4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Final\ Height = 40[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 1\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Required

Determine the years it'll take to grow to the final height

This question depicts arithmetic progression and will be solved using

[tex]T_n = a + (n - 1)d[/tex]

Where

[tex]T_n = 40[/tex]

[tex]a = 4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]d = 1\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Substitute these values in the given formula;

[tex]40 = 4\frac{1}{2} + (n - 1)1\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Convert all fractions to decimal

[tex]40 = 4.5 + (n - 1) * 1.75[/tex]

Open Brackets

[tex]40 = 4.5 + 1.75n - 1.75[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]1.75n = 40 - 4.5 + 1.75[/tex]

[tex]1.75n = 37.25[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.75

[tex]n = \frac{37.25}{1.75}[/tex]

[tex]n = 21.2857142857[/tex]

[tex]n = 21[/tex] (Approximated)

Answer 2

The number of years it will take for the tree to have a height greater than 40 feet is 23 years

Given:

Height of the tree = 4 1/2 feet

Growth rate per year = 1 3/4 feet

Expected growth rate = 40 feet

Expected Number of years = y

The inequality:

4 1/2 + 1 3/4y > 40

Subtract 4 1/2 from both sides

1 3/4y > 40 - 4 1/2

7/4y > 40 - 9/2

7/4y > (80-9)/ 2

7/4y > 79/2

divide both sides by 7/4

y > 79/2 ÷ 7/4

y > 79/2 × 4/7

y > (79×4) ) (2×7)

y > (316) / 14

y > 22.57142857142857

Approximately,

y > 23 years

Therefore, number of years it will take for the tree to have a height greater than 40 feet is 23 years

Find the remaining trigonometric ratios. tan(α) = 2, 0<α<π/2the responses they want are:1. sine(α)=_2. cos(α)=_3. cot(α)=_4. sec(α)=_5. csc(α)=_

Answers

Answer:

1. sinα = +2√5/5 2.  cosα = +√5/5 3. cotα = +1/2 4. secα = +√5 5. cosecα = +√5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since tan(α) = 2 and 1 + cot²α = cosec²α

1 + 1/tan²α = 1/sin²α

1 + 1/2² = 1/sin²α

1 + 1/4 = 1/sin²α

5/4 = 1/sin²α

sinα = ±√(4/5)

sinα = ±2/√5

sinα = ±2√5/5

Since 0<α<π/2, sinα = +2√5/5

2. sin²α + cos²α = 1

(2/√5)² + cos²α = 1

4/5 + cos²α = 1

cos²α = 1 - 4/5

cos²α = 1/5

cosα = ±1/√5

cosα = ±√5/5

Since 0<α<π/2, cosα = +√5/5

3. cotα = 1/tanα = 1/2

Since 0<α<π/2, cotα = +1/2

4. secα = 1/cosα = 1/±1/√5 = ±√5

Since 0<α<π/2, secα = +√5

5. cosecα = 1/sinα = 1/±2/√5 = ±√5/2

Since 0<α<π/2, cosecα = +√5/2

The toy horse collection contains 10 horses. You purchase the set and then sell 3 horses to Kate. If you only charge the exact price (no tax involved), how much does Kate pay you?

Answers

Answer:

three tenths of the original amount

Let's start.

There are 10 horses.

(Buying the set is not important, since it does not affect this scenario.)

You sell three horses to Kate, and you expect her to give you the exact price.

Let's say that 10 horses cost the total (unknown).

10 horses equal the total amount, or 1

10 to 1

Now, you sell 3 of these horses. You must multiply 10 and n to make 3.

10 x n = 3

10x 3/10 = 3

Do the same to the other side.

1 x 3/10 = 3/10

The distance around a yard is 588ft. If the length of the yard is 2 more than 3 times the width, find the perimeter and width of the yard

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter = 588ft (given), Width of yard = 73ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance around a yard is the perimeter of the yard, so we know that the perimeter of the yard is 588ft. In order to find the length and width, we need to make an equation so we can solve for one of them. Since the length is 2 more than 3 times the width, we can represent it as 3w+2, where w is the width. This ensures we only have one unknown to solve for as we only have one equation. Since perimeter is the distance around the yard, it is calculated by adding the length of the 2 widths to the length of the 2 lengths, hence 588ft = 2w + 2l, the l we replace though as we can only solve for one unknown, so now we have:

2w + 2(3w+2) = 588

Now we can start solving for the width!

Firstly we need to expand the bracket which we do by multiplying the 2 by all the contents inside the bracket, so:

2w + 2*3w + 2*2 = 588

which equals:

2w +6w +4 = 588

Now we combine terms and move the 4 to the other side so we can solve for w:

8w + 4 -4 = 588 - 4

8w = 584

Now we just divide both sides by 8 to get:

w=73

The width of the yard is 73ft.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Solving (1): k(2)

Take t as 2 such that t = 2

This gives

[tex]k(2) = 2 * 2 - 1[/tex]

How many calories will Jacob burn in 1 minute while roller-skating? Enter the answer in the box.

Answers

Answer: 5 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Minute ____calorie burned

40__________200

80__________400

120_________ 600

160_________ 800

We need to find the rate at which calorie is burned :

Rate of burn = (Number of calorie burned/ time taken)

Take any of the points :

Time = 80 ; calorie burned = 400

Rate of burn = (400 calorie / 80 minute )

Rate of burn = 5calorie/minute

If time = 1 minute ; rate = 5

Calorie burned in 1 minute :

Amount of calorie = rate of burn × time taken

Amount burned in 1 minute = 5 × 1 = 5 calories

Hence, amount of calorie burned in one minute is 5 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-3+3x=16x-4-2

So I have just multiplied out the brackets on the right side 4×4x and 4×1.

7x+3x=16x-4-2

Here I have just added the -3 from the left onto the right changing it to a positive and onto the -5 therefore getting -2.

10x=16x-3

Now I just added the numbers together on each side like 7x+3x and -4-2.

This is just moving the -6 onto the left side so we get a positive 6.

6=6x

Luego de estudiar el proyecto, los promotores estiman que es más conveniente un tamaño de 19 200 toneladas por año. ¿A cuánto ascenderá la inversión total, si el exponente del factor de escala es α=0,63? ayuda !!!!!

Answers

Answer:

En caso de un tamaño de producción de 19,200 toneladas anuales, el costo de inversión total ascenderá a $3,999,936.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que la inversión inicial será de $ 2,500,000 para un tamaño de planta de 12,000 toneladas anuales, se estima que cada tonelada requiere una inversión de $208.33 (2,500,000 / 12,000).

Por lo tanto, en caso de una producción anual de 19,200 toneladas, el costo de inversión aumentará según lo establecido en la siguiente multiplicación:

208.33 x 19,200 = X

3,999,936 = X

Por lo tanto, en caso de un tamaño de producción de 19,200 toneladas anuales, el costo de inversión total ascenderá a $3,999,936.

Determine the interval on which this function is constant. (1 point)

Answers

(-2,2)

Just took the quiz, this is 100% correct.

Please mark brainliest! :)

The constant function is - f(x) = -2 in the interval  x ∈ [-2, 4].

We have a graph of a function f(x).

We have to determine the interval on which this function is constant.

Define Constant function.

A constant function is a function having the same value of range for different values of the domain. Mathematically -

y = f(x) = k     [ k is constant ]

According to the question, we can see from the graph that -

The value of f(x) is constant, and is equal to f(x) = -2 between the points -2 and 4 on the x - axis.

The function in this interval can be given by -

f(x) = -2          where  x ∈ [-2, 4].

Hence, the constant function is - f(x) = -2 in the interval  x ∈ [-2, 4].

O A. $805

Answers

Answer:

310

Step-by-step explanation:

least money 19.95

Most money = 39.95

Mean = (least+most)/2 = 29.95

money for half people = 5 × (mean) 29.95

Amount of money for half people = 149.75

Lower limit for amount of the other half = 19.95 × 5 = 99.75

The Upper limit for the amount of the other half = 39.95 × 5 = 199.75

Mean = (99.75 + 199.75)/2 = 149.75

Total money spent (Mean) = 149.75 + 149.75 = 299.5

The Best estimate is B) 310 because it is closest to 295.5

A mean is an arithmetic average of a set of observations. The correct option is D.

What is Mean?

A mean is an arithmetic average of a set of observations. It is given by the formula,

Mean = (Sum of observations)/Number of observations

To make the calculations easy let's round off the given numbers. Therefore, we can write the values as,

Least expensive A=30Most expensive B=90half of order C=70

Now, the mean and the money for half the people can be written as,

Mean = (least + most)/2 = 60

money for half people = 5 × 60

Therefore, the amount of money for half people will be,

Amount of money for half people = 300

Lower limit for amount of the other half = 29.95 × 5 = 149.5

The Upper limit for the amount of the other half = 89.95 × 5 = 449.75

Mean = (149.75 + 449.75)/2 = 299.6

Total money spent (Mean) = 299.6 + 299.6 = 599.25

Hence, The Best estimate is $660. This is because it is closest to 599.25.
