A large company put out an advertisement in a magazine for a job opening. The first day the magazine was published the company got 70 responses, but the responses were declining by 10% each day. Assuming the pattern continued, how many total responses would the company get over the course of the first 23 days after the magazine was published, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  638

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of responses is the value of a geometric series with first term 70 and common ratio 1-10% = 0.90. That sum is given by the formula ...

  Sn = a1·(1 -r^n)/(1 -r)

where r is the common ratio, n is the number of terms, and a1 is the first term.

The sum of n=23 terms of the series with a1=70 and r=0.9 is ...

  S23 = 70·(1 -0.9^23)/(1 -0.9) = 700(1 -0.9^23) ≈ 638

The model predicts 638 total responses over the first 23 days.

First note that [tex]A_n[/tex] means the nth term in the sequence.

1. First one is a simple arithmetic progression/sequence as the common differences between each two numbers are 1

So the sequence will be

1.) 2,3,4,5,6,7...

And the rule since its +1 each time will be

[tex]A_n=2+1*(n-1)[/tex]

For the nth term of the sequence.

2.This one can be seen as a simple geometric sequence as the common ratio between the number and the number after it is 1:2

So the sequence will be

2.)2,4,8,16,32,64

And the rule since it is *2 each time is a simple exponential function

[tex]A_n=2*2^{n-1}\\or\\A_n=2^n[/tex]

3.This one is tricky but it can be seen that the term is double the term before subtract 1

So the sequence will be

3.)5,9,17,33,65,129

And the rule based on this sequence will be

[tex]A_n=A_{n-1}*2-1[/tex]

**Please note that this rule specifically is written in recursive form as it is a lot more difficult otherwise.

4 This one is similar to problem 1 which is an arithmetic sequence this one just have a common differences of 3 instead of 1.

So the sequence will be

4.)25,28,31,34,37

And the rule based on the sequence will be

[tex]A_n=25+3*(n-1)[/tex]

The graph models how a farmer's profit from a strawberry crop depends on the number of days the farmer waits after the first strawberries ripen before harvesting the crop.

Choose...
days after the first strawberries ripen.

Answers

Answer:

The profit increases from day 0 to day 8 after the strawberries first ripen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is increasing when the slope is positive (y gets bigger as x gets bigger).

A function is decreasing when the slope is negative (y gets smaller as x gets bigger).

From inspection of the graph, we can see that the maximum point is (8, 6000), so the maximum profit of $6,000 occurs on day 8.

The slope of the curve is increasing as the curve approaches the maximum point, so the profit is increasing during this time period.

Therefore, the profit increases from day 0 to day 8 after the strawberries first ripen.

The slope of the curve is decreasing after the maximum point, so the profit is decreasing after 8 days.

The profit increases from 8 days after the first strawberries ripen.

When we observe the graph we see that the function reaches its maximum at y-axis on the point (8,6000) 6000 is the maximum profit, which is made after 8 days the strawberries have ripen.After 8 days the prices have started to decrease.

An exponential function can either represent population growth or population decay

How to model the population

The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.

However, the following is a general guide to solve the question.

An exponential function is represented as:

[tex]y=a(1 \pm r)^x[/tex]

Where:

(a) represent the initial value i.e. the initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas (r) represents the rate at which the population increases or decreases.(x) represents the number of years since 2022(y) represents the population in x years

Given that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases, then the rate of the function would be 1 -r (i.e. an exponential decay)

Take for instance:

[tex]y = 20000 * 0.98^x[/tex]

By comparison.

a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98

The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

I need this answers ASAP please. The mass of potatoes Lucan used is 5:2 the mass of carrots. The mass of potatoes is 9 kg more than the mass of carrots. Find the total mass of both ingredients. Please provide an explanation.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Known facts:

the ratio of mass potatoes to the mass of carrots is 5:2the mass of potato is 9kg more than the mass of carrot

Let us set up the equation:

variables: mass of potatoes: p, the mass of carrots: c

p/c = 5/2 --> 2p = 5c --> 2p -5c = 0 -- equation 1

p = 9 + c --> p - c = 9 -- equation 2

Multiple equation 2 by 2

2p - 2c = 18 -- equation 3

subtract equation 1 and equation 3

-3c = -18

c = 6, so p = 15

So the total mass of both ingredients is 21 kg

(5, 8) is the vertex of the line

Because |x - 5| is absolute (so always positive) and it is multiplied by -2,

Step-by-step explanation:

We have angles of 13, 104, and 63

Since all of the angles are different, all of the sides have different lengths, so the triangle is scalene

The largest angle is 104 degrees.  Since it is larger than 90 degrees, it is obtuse.

The triangle is a scalene obtuse triangle

Answer:

obtuse maybe

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't really know but let me know if you get it right.

Why I picked obtuse is because of 104 degrees normally obtuse angles have smaller degrees than there is 1 that is bigger number for instantance 104 or over 100 degrees.

Two water balloons were launched into the air at different moments and collided. The water balloons were modeled by the quadratic functions: y = −3x2 + 24x + 3 and y = −4x2 + 25x + 15, where y represents the height in meters and x represents the time in seconds after the launch. What is the time, in seconds, that the balloons collided at the highest point?

Answers

Answer:

4s

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the equations and solve for x:

[tex]-3x^2 + 24x + 3=-4x^2 + 25x + 15[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^2 -x -12=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^2 -4x+3x -12=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies (x+3)(x-4)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=-3, x=4[/tex]

As time is positive, x = 4

The time at which the water balloons collided at their highest point is 7 seconds after the launch.

To find the time at which the two water balloons collided at their highest point, we need to determine the time at which the sum of their heights is maximized. The sum of the heights is represented by the sum of the two quadratic functions.

Given the functions:

y = -3x² + 24x + 3

y = -4x² + 25x + 15

The sum of the heights, S(x), is:

S(x) = (-3x² + 24x + 3) + (-4x² + 25x + 15)

Combine like terms:

S(x) = -7x² + 49x + 18

To find the time when the sum of the heights is maximized, we need to find the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabolic function S(x). The x-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic function in the form ax² + bx + c is given by:

x vertex = -b / (2a)

In this case, for S(x) = -7x² + 49x + 18:

a = -7

b = 49

Calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex:

x vertex = -49 / (2 * -7)

x vertex = 7

Now that we have the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can find the corresponding time by plugging it into either of the original functions. Let's use the first function for simplicity:

y = -3x² + 24x + 3

When x = 7:

y = -3(7)² + 24(7) + 3

y = -147 + 168 + 3

y = 24

Therefore, the time at which the water balloons collided at their highest point is 7 seconds after the launch.
