Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park in the US covered about 142 acres in 2007 and was shrinking at a rate of about 4.4% per year.3 (a) Write a formula for the size, , of the Grinnell Glacier, in acres, as a function of years since 2007. (b) Use the model to predict the size of the glacier in the year 2020. (c) According to the model, how many acres of ice were lost from the glacier between 2007 and 2010

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Glacier National park has the area in year 2007 = 142 acres

It's shrinking at a rate = 4.4% per year

a). Since, shrink in the size of the glacier is an exponential process,  

    Therefore, formula for the size of the glacier in 'n' years,

    A = 142(1 - 0.044)ⁿ

    A = 142(0.956)ⁿ

b). Difference between year 2007 and 2020 = 13 years

    By substituting n = 13 years in the formula,

    A = 142(0.956)¹³

        = 79.11 acres

    Therefore, size of the glacier in year 2020 = 79.11 acres

c). Difference between year 2007 and 2010 = 3 years

    By substituting n = 3 years in the formula,

    A = 142(0.956)³

    A = 124.07 acres

    Loss of the ice from the glacier = 142 - 124.07

                                                         = 17.93 acres

    Therefore, loss of the ice from the glacier in 3 years = 17.93 acres

A political action committee wanted to estimate the proportion of county residents who support a change to the county leash law. They took a random sample of 600 county residents and found that the proportion who wanted to change the law was 33% with a margin of error of +/- 4% (with 95% confidence). This implies:_____

a. If we took another sample of 600 residents the sample proportion would definitely be between 29% and 37%.
b. If we take many other samples from this population 95% of them will have a sample proportion that is between 29% and 37%.
c. We can not conclude anything about the population parameter since this is only a sample.
d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.
e. There is a 95% chance that the true parameter is 33%.

Answers

Answer:

d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meaning of a confidence interval:

A x% confidence interval being between a and b means that we are x% sure that the true population proportion is between a and b.

In this question:

Sample of 600, proportion who wanted to change the law was 33% with a margin of error of +/- 4% (with 95% confidence). This implies:

From the concept of confidence interval above, the correct answer is:

d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.

The degree of the polynomial function f(x) is 3.
The roots of the equation f(x) = 0 are - 1,0, and 4
Which graph could be the graph of f(x)?

Answers

Answer: Top right corner

This graph shows a curve going through x = -1, x = 0 and x = 4 on the x axis. These are the three roots or x intercepts.

The graph in the bottom right has a root of x = -4, but that's not one of the listed roots in the instructions. So we rule this graph out.

The other two graphs only have two roots, and not three, so we rule them out as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the degree of a polynomial function is an odd number, the ends of the graph will go in opposite directions. (one going up and one going down)

The graph must pass the x-axis at the points -1, 0, 4.

Only the top-right graph satisfies our conditions.

If Log 20 = 1.301 what is the value of Logsub100 20?

I need the step by steps! I can’t find anything videos online to teach this to me

Answers

Answer:

[tex]log_{100}20 = 0.6505[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

log20 = 1.301 (when you see only "log" with no base, it is taken as a base 10)

This basically means:

[tex]10^{1.301} = 20[/tex]  (This is the log in exponential form)

Since we don't know what  [tex]log_{100}20[/tex]  is equal to, we will say  [tex]log_{100}20[/tex] = x

So to solve for [tex]log_{100}20[/tex] = x, you do the same thing. (convert to exponential form)

[tex]100^{x} =20[/tex]

Now you will notice that both of these equations are equal to 20.

Since 20 = 20,

we can say [tex]100^{x}[/tex] = [tex]10^{1.301}[/tex]

Another way of saying 100, is [tex]10^{2}[/tex] (make the bases the same)

Now we get [tex]10^{2x} = 10^{1.301}[/tex]      

(we get 2x because an exponent to the power of an exponent ([tex]2^{x}[/tex]) is the same as 2 * x)

Because you have the same base, you can just ignore the 10s and focus on the exponents. So you get:

2x = 1.301

x = 0.6505

у
A y = 4x
B y = 4x+12
1
y = -X
1 x +12
D
4

Answers

Answer:

Option A. y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

X >> Y

3 >> 12

4 >> 16

5 >> 20

6 >> 24

7 >> 28

Next, we shall use each of the options to obtain the first two value of y to which will correspond to the table above. This is illustrated below:

For Option A:

1. y = 4x

x = 3

y = 4 × 3

y = 12

2. y = 4x

x = 4

y = 4 × 4

y = 16

For Option B:

1. y = 4x + 12

x = 3

y = 4(3) + 12

y = 12 + 12

y = 24

2. y = 4x + 12

x = 4

y = 4(4) + 12

y = 16 + 12

y = 28

For Option C:

1. y = ¼ x

x = 3

y = ¼ × 3

y = ¾

2. y = ¼ x

x = 4

y = ¼ × 4

y = 1

For Option D:

1. y = ¼x + 12

x = 3

y = ¼(3) + 12

y = ¾ + 12

y = 51/4

2. y = ¼x + 12

x = 4

y = ¼(4) + 12

y = 1 + 12

y = 13

From the calculations made above, only option A ie. y = 4x correspond to the data given in the table above.

A production company spent 45

2 days filming its first movie. The​ company's second movie was filmed in 7
3
4 weeks. Find the ratio of the first​ movie's filming time to the second​ movie's filming time. Compare in weeks.

Answers

Answer:

26 /33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of days taken filming first movie = 45 1/2

Number of weeks spent filming second movie = 8 1/4

Concerning days to weeks ;

45 1/2 days = 91/2 days = 91/2 ÷ 7 ;

91 / 2* 1/7 = 91/14 = 6. 5 weeks

Hence,

Ratio of first week fuming to second week filming ;

6.5 weeks : 8 1/4 weeks

6 1/2 : 8 1/4

13 / 2 : 33 /4

13 / 2 * 4 /33

52 / 66

You are doing research on balance and fitness. To complete this research you will need a watch with a second hand. Identify a random sample of n = 12 men and n = 8 women. You must answer this question: How do you establish that this sample is truly random?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to establish that the sample is truly random you need to obtain two main factors. First, is making sure that the random sample of both groups chosen (men and women) are equal in proportion to the overall population. Meaning both groups must be the same percentage of the overall population of the same gender. The second factor that you need to make sure of is that all chosen individual's had the exact same probability of being chosen from the population and no external factor influenced the probability of them being chosen for the study.
