The crime rate of a certain city is increasing by exactly 6% each year. If there were 550
crimes in the year 1990 and the crime rate remains constant each year, determine the approximate number of crimes in the year 2016.

Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer 1

Using an exponential function, it is found that the approximate number of crimes in the year of 2016 was of 2502.

What is an exponential function?

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, there were 550 crimes in the initial year observed, and the growth rate is of 6%, hence the parameters are A(0) = 550, r = 0.06, and the equation is given by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 550(1 + 0.06)^t[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 550(1.06)^t[/tex]

2016 is 26 years after 1990, hence:

[tex]A(26) = 550(1.06)^{26} \approx 2502[/tex]

The approximate number of crimes in the year of 2016 was of 2502.

A new car is purchased for $31,000 and over time its value depreciates by one half
every 6.5 years. How long, to the nearest tenth of a year, would it take for the value
of the car to be $3,800?

Answers

Using an exponential function, it is found that it would take 19.68 years for the value of the car to be $3,800.

What is an exponential function?

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^\frac{t}{n}[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the decay rate, as a decimal, after each n years.

In this problem:

The initial value is of $31,000, hence A(0) = 31000.It depreciates by one-half every 6.5 years, hence r = 0.5, n = 6.5.

Then, the equation is:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^\frac{t}{n}[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 31000(1 - 0.5)^\frac{t}{6.5}[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 31000(0.5)^\frac{t}{6.5}[/tex]

The value would be of $3,800 at t for which A(t) = 3800, hence:

[tex]A(t) = 31000(0.5)^\frac{t}{6.5}[/tex]

[tex]3800 = 31000(0.5)^\frac{t}{6.5}[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^\frac{t}{6.5} = \frac{3800}{31000}[/tex]

[tex](0.5)^\frac{t}{6.5} = 0.12258064516[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.5)^\frac{t}{6.5}} = \log{0.12258064516}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{t}{6.5}\log{0.5} = \log{0.12258064516}[/tex]

[tex]t = 6.5\frac{\log{0.12258064516}}{\log{0.5}}[/tex]

t = 19.68.

It would take 19.68 years for the value of the car to be $3,800.

Answers

Let's see

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail y=6x^2-25x+11[/tex]

Graph attached

vertex(-2,-13)

Axis of symmetry

x=-2

Answer:

axis of symmetry: x = 2

vertex:  (-2, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function

[tex]\sf y=6x^2-24x+11[/tex]

Vertex form

[tex]\sf y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]
where (h, k) is the vertex

Expand vertex form:

[tex]\sf \implies y=ax^2-2ahx+ah^2+k[/tex]

Compare coefficients of expanded vertex form with given function:

coefficient of [tex]\sf x^2[/tex]:  

⇒ a = 6

coefficient of [tex]\sf x[/tex]:  

⇒ -2ah = -24

⇒ ah = 12

⇒ 6h = 12

⇒ h = 2

constant:

⇒ [tex]\sf ah^2+k=11[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\sf 6 \cdot 2^2+k=11[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\sf 24+k=11[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\sf k=-13[/tex]

Vertex

Vertex = (2, -13)

Axis of symmetry

Axis of symmetry is when x = h

Therefore, axis of symmetry is x = 2

The line TU is tangent to the circle whose center is at point S

The measure of angle U is 84 degrees

How to determine angle U?

From the question, we understand that:

Angle STV = 84 degreesTU is tangent to circle S

This second highlight means that:

Angle STU = 90 degrees

And:

Angle STU = Angle STV + Angle VTU

This gives

90 = 84 + Angle VTU

Subtract 84 from both sides

Angle VTU =  6

The measure of angle U is then calculated as:

U + Angle VTU + Angle UVT = 180 ------ sum of angles in a triangle

This gives

U + 6 + 90= 180

Evaluate the sum

U + 96 = 180

Subtract 96 from both sides

U = 84

Hence, the measure of angle U is 84 degrees

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the total surface area is the sum of the individual areas on the surface.

we have

2 triangles (top and bottom)

1 front rectangle

2 rectangles in the back

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

1.7 × 0.5 / 2 = 0.425 in²

both triangles together : 2×0.425 = 0.85 in²

the area of a rectangle is

length × width

so, the front is

1.7 × 1.5 = 2.55 in²

one back rectangle is

1 × 1.5 = 1.5 in²

both back areas are 2×1.5 = 3 in²

so, the total surface area is

0.85 + 2.55 + 3 = 6.4 in²
