A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years will it take to reach $20 per month? Use the equation 20 = 8(1.2)x to solve the problem. Round to the nearest year. 1 year 5 years 2 years 16 years
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
[tex]y=ab^x\\8=ab^0\\a=8[/tex]
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
[tex]y=ab^x\\y=8(1.2^x) \\[/tex]
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
[tex]20=8(1.2)^x\\20/8=1.2^x\\1.2^x=2.5\\Taking \ natural\ log\ of \ both\ sides:\\ln(1.2^x)=ln2.5\\xln(1.2)=0.9163\\x=0.9163/ln(1.2)\\x=5.026[/tex]
x = 6 years to the nearest year

Significance level or alpha level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when null hypothesis is true. It is considered as a probability of making a wrong decision. It is a statistical test which determines probability of type I error. If the obtained probability is equal of less than critical probability value then reject the null hypothesis .
A ladder leans against a vertical at angle of 60° to the wall of the foot of the ladder is 5m away from the wall calculate the length of the ladder
Answer:
Your question indicates the ladder is at an angle of 60° to the wall, meaning the angle between the wall and the ladder is 60° and the angle between the ladder and the ground must be 30°. Not a very efficient way to set up a ladder.
5.7735 meters. The top of the ladder is 2.8868 meters off the ground.
Now, if you meant the ladder is 60° from the ground, that’s a different story.
Then, the ladder is 10 meters long and reaches 8.6603 meters from the ground.
A 30–60–90 right triangle is half of an equalateral triangle. Therefore the hypotenuse is double the length of the short leg, and by the Pythagorean theorum, we can determine that the other leg is the length of the short leg times the square root of 3.

h(x) = (x - 3)^2 determine which x-value whether it is in the domain of h or not
In domain not in domain
0
3
4
Answer:
Hey there!
All of the values: 0, 3, and 4 are in the domain.
This is because h(x) = (x - 3)^2 is a parabola, or a quadratic. By definition, the domain, or the possible x values of a parabola are infinite.

The length of each side of a cubical wooden block is 16 inches. What is the volume of
the block
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
To find the volume of a cube, you simply take whatever the side length is and multiply it by itself 3 times, which is also known as cubing the number!
16×16×16=4096
You can also write it as 16³=4096
This is because the length is 16, the width is 16, and the height is 16, so you multiply them all together!
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
A carpenter is making doors that are 20582058 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if they are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 1010 doors is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 20462046 millimeters with a standard deviation of 1515. Is there evidence at the 0.050.05 level that the doors are too short and unusable
Answer:
Z= 0.253
Z∝/2 = ± 1.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses as
H0 : u1= u2 against Ha : u1≠ u2 This is a two sided test
Here ∝= 0.005
For alpha by 2 for a two tailed test Z∝/2 = ± 1.96
Standard deviation = s= 15
n= 10
The test statistic used here is
Z = x- x`/ s/√n
Z= 2058- 2046 / 15 / √10
Z= 0.253
Since the calculated value of Z= 0.253 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis.
There is evidence at the 0.05 level that the doors are too short and unusable.

Consider the function below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x3 − 27x + 3 (a) Find the interval of increase. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
Answer:
(-∞,-3) and (3,∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3
1. Find the critical points
(a) Calculate the first derivative of the function.
f'(x) = 3x² -27
(b) Factor the first derivative
f'(x)= 3(x² - 9) = 3(x + 3) (x - 3)
(c) Find the zeros
3(x + 3) (x - 3) = 0
x + 3 = 0 x - 3 = 0
x = -3 x = 3
The critical points are at x = -3 and x = 3.
2. Find the local extrema
(a) x = -3
f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = (-3)³ - 27(-3) + 3 = -27 +81 + 3 = 57
(b) x = 3
f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = 3³ - 27(3) + 3 = 27 - 81 + 3 = -51
The local extrema are at (-3,57) and (3,-51).
3, Identify the local extrema as maxima or minima
Test the first derivative (the slope) over the intervals (-∞, -3), (-3,3), (3,∞)
f'(-4) = 3x² -27 = 3(4)² - 27 = 21
f'(0) = 3(0)² -27 = -27
f'(4) = 3(4)² - 27 = 51
The function is increasing on the intervals (-∞,-3) and (3,∞).
The graph below shows the critical points of your function.

Write 11 numbers in a row so that the sum of any 3 consecutive numbers is negative, while the sum of all the numbers is positive. Is it possible?
Explanation:
Let the 11 numbers be {a1, a2, ..., a11} such that a1 is the smallest and a11 is the largest. So, a1 < a2 < ... < a11. Furthermore, these numbers are consecutive.
If we add consecutive numbers to get a negative result, then each of the numbers must be negative. So every value in the set {a1, a2, ..., a11} is a negative value which makes it impossible to have a1+a2+...a11 be a positive sum.

Two balls are drawn in succession out of a box containing 5 red and 4 white balls. Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was (Upper A )Replaced before the second draw. (Upper B )Not replaced before the second draw. (A) Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw. StartFraction 24 Over 49 EndFraction (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction.) (B) Find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The box contains 5 red and 4 white balls.
A) The probability that at least 1 ball was red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)
Given that the first ball was (Upper A )Replaced before the second draw:
P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 5/9 = 25/81
P(first is red and second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/9 = 20/81
P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/9 = 20/81
The probability that at least 1 ball was red = 25/81 + 20/81 + 20/81 = 65/81
B) The probability that at least 1 ball was red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)
Given that the first ball was not Replaced before the second draw:
P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72 (since it was not replaced after the first draw the number of red ball remaining would be 4 and the total ball remaining would be 8)
P(first is red second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72
P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/8 = 20/72
The probability that at least 1 ball was red = 20/72 + 20/72 + 20/72 = 60/72

A planet rotates on an axis through its poles and 1 revolution takes 1 day 1 day is 24 hours. The distance from the axis to a location the planet 30 degrees north latitude is about 3387.5 miles. Therefore, a location on the planet at 30 degrees north latitude is spinning on a circle of radius 3387.5 miles.
Compute the linear speed on the surface of the planet at 30 degrees north latitude.
Answer:
The velocity is [tex]v = 886.96 \ m/s[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The period of each revolution is [tex]T = 1\ day = 24 \ hours[/tex]
The angle is [tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]
The radius is [tex]r = 3387.5 \ miles[/tex]
Generally the linear speed is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = w * r[/tex]
Where [tex]w[/tex] is the angular speed which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = \frac{2 *3.142 }{24}[/tex]
[tex]w = 0.2618 \ rad/s[/tex]
Thus
[tex]v = 0.261833 * 3387.5[/tex]
[tex]v = 886.96 \ m/s[/tex]
A television screen has a length to width ratio of 8 to 5 and a perimeter of 117 inches. What is the diagonal measure of the screen (to the nearest tenth of an inch)?
Answer:
[tex]D = 42.5\ inch[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]L = Length[/tex] and [tex]W = Width[/tex]
[tex]L:W = 8: 5[/tex]
[tex]Perimeter = 117[/tex]
Required
Determine the Diagonal
First, the dimension of the screen has to be calculated;
Recall that; [tex]L:W = 8: 5[/tex]
Convert to division
[tex]\frac{L}{W} = \frac{8}{5}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by W
[tex]W * \frac{L}{W} = \frac{8}{5} * W[/tex]
[tex]L = \frac{8W}{5}[/tex]
The perimeter of a rectangle:
[tex]Perimeter = 2(L+W)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]L = \frac{8W}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Perimeter = 2(\frac{8W}{5}+W)[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Perimeter = 2(\frac{8W + 5W}{5})[/tex]
[tex]Perimeter = 2(\frac{13W}{5})[/tex]
Substitute 117 for Perimeter
[tex]117 = 2(\frac{13W}{5})[/tex]
[tex]117 = \frac{26W}{5}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{5}{26}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{26} * 117 = \frac{26W}{5} * \frac{5}{26}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5 * 117}{26} = W[/tex]
[tex]\frac{585}{26} = W[/tex]
[tex]22.5 = W[/tex]
[tex]W = 22.5[/tex]
Recall that
[tex]L = \frac{8W}{5}[/tex]
[tex]L = \frac{8 * 22.5}{5}[/tex]
[tex]L = \frac{180}{5}[/tex]
[tex]L = 36[/tex]
The diagonal of a rectangle is calculated using Pythagoras theorem as thus;
[tex]D = \sqrt{L^2 + W^2}[/tex]
Substitute values for L and W
[tex]D = \sqrt{36^2 + 22.5^2}[/tex]
[tex]D = \sqrt{1296 + 506.25}[/tex]
[tex]D = \sqrt{1802.25}[/tex]
[tex]D = \sqrt{1802.25}[/tex]
[tex]D = 42.4529150943[/tex]
[tex]D = 42.5\ inch[/tex] (Approximated)
4. Solve the system of equations. (6 points) Part I: Explain the steps you would take to solve the system by eliminating the x-terms. (1 point) Part II: Explain the steps you would take to solve the system by eliminating the y-terms. (2 points) Part III: Choose either of the methods described in parts I or II to solve the system of equations. Write your answer as an ordered pair. Show your work. (3 points)
Answer:
The system of equations you want to be solved is not given. I would however give an example with which the method of elimination will be shown, and can be used in solving problems of the nature.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the system of equations:
x + y = 7 ................................(1)
2x - y = 8 ..............................(2)
To eliminate x:
First multiply (1) by 2 to have
2x + 2y = 14 ...........................(3)
Next, subtract (2) from (3) to have
3y = 6
y = 6/3 = 2
To eliminate y:
Add (1) and (2) to have
3x = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, (x, y) = (5, 2).
Pedro thinks that he has a special relationship with the number 6. In particular, Pedro thinks that he would roll a 6 with a fair 6-sided die more often than you'd expect by chance alone. Suppose pp is the true proportion of the time Pedro will roll a 6.
Required:
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses for testing Pedro's claim.
b. Now suppose Pedro makes 42 rolls, and a 6 comes up 9 times out of the 42 rolls. Determine the P-value of the test: P-value.
c. Does this sample provide evidence at the 5% level that Pedro rolls a 6 more often than you'd expect?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sample space, n(S) = 6^6 = 46656
Let the number fair dice toss that show 6 = n(A)
Hence, the probability of getting, P(A) = n(A)/n(S)
b) Sample space, n(S) = 6^42
n(A) = 6^9
∴ P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 6^9/6^42 = 1/(6^33) = 2.09 X 10^(-26)
c) No
Find X using the Angle Sum Theorem
Answer:
x = 20°
Step-by-step explanation:
So when I learned it we called it the exterior angle theorem not the angle sum theorem but here goes.
Since exterior angle = 110 Degrees,
--> The Inner 2 angles's sum = 110 Degrees
so, 70 + 2x = 110
=> 2x = 40
x = 20
x = 20°

A sample of bacteria is decaying according to a half-life model. If the sample begins with 700 bacteria, and after 10 minutes there are 140 bacteria, after how many minutes will there be 40 bacteria remaining? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
18 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is the time,
and T is the half life.
A = 140 when t = 10. Solve for the half life:
140 = 700 (½)^(10 / T)
0.2 = ½^(10 / T)
log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5
10 / T = 2.32
T = 4.31
When A = 40, t is:
40 = 700 (½)^(t / 4.31)
0.057 = ½^(t / 4.31)
log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5
t / 4.31 = 4.13
t = 17.8
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it takes 18 minutes.
The time taken for bacteria to reach 40 according to the exponential half-life decay formula is 18 minutes.
What is an exponential function?In mathematics, an exponential function is a relationship of the type y = ax, where x is an independent variable that spans the entire real number line and is expressed as the exponent of a positive number.
The half-life decay formula is given as,
N(t) = N₀ [tex](1/2)^{(t / T)}[/tex]
Where T is half-life while t is the time taken.
N₀ is the initial amount,
As per the given,
N(t) = 140 when t = 10.
140 = 700 [tex](1/2)^{(t / T)}[/tex]
Take log both sides,
log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5
10 / T = 2.32
T = 4.31 minutes
Put N(t) = 40
40 = 700[tex](1/2)^{(t / 4.31)}[/tex]
Take log both sides,
log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5
t / 4.31 = 4.13
t = 17.8 ≈ 18 minutes
Hence "The time taken for bacteria to reach 40 according to the exponential half-life decay formula is 18 minutes".
