After the end of an advertising campaign, the daily sales of a product fell rapidly, with daily sales given by S=3800e−0.05x dollars, where x is the number of days from the end of the campaign.a. What were daily sales when the campaign ended?b. How many days passed after the campaign ended before daily sales were below half of what they were at the end of the campaign?
Answers
Since the given equation is
[tex]S=3800e^{-0.05x}[/tex]S is the amount of the daily sales from ending to x days
Since the form of the exponential function is
[tex]y=ae^x[/tex]Where a is the initial amount (value y at x = 0)
Then 3800 represents the daily sales when x = 0
Since x = 0 at the ending of the campaign, then
a. The daily sales when the campaign ended is $3800
Since the daily sales will be below half $3800 after x days
Then find half 3800, then equate S by it, then find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} S=\frac{1}{2}(3800) \\ S=1900 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]1900=3800e^{-0.05x}[/tex]Divide both sides by 3800
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1900}{3800}=\frac{3800}{3800}e^{-0.05x} \\ \frac{1}{2}=e^{-0.05x} \end{gathered}[/tex]Insert ln for both sides
[tex]\ln (\frac{1}{2})=\ln (e^{-0.05x})[/tex]Use the rule
[tex]\ln (e^n)=n[/tex][tex]\ln (\frac{1}{2})=-0.05x[/tex]Divide both sides by -0.05 to find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\ln (\frac{1}{2})}{-0.05}=\frac{-0.05x}{-0.05} \\ 13.86294=x \end{gathered}[/tex]Since we need it below half 3800, then we round the number up to the nearest whole number
Then x = 14 days
b. 14 days will pass after the campaign ended

Joey buys a home for $205,900. His home is predicted to increase in value 4% each year. What is the predicted value of his home in 22 years? Round answer to thenearest whole number
Answers
Since every year the value of the house increase by 4%, the new value will be the previous value plus 4% of the previous value. To find 4% of a quantity, we just have have to multiply it by 4 and then divide by 100(or, written as a decimal, multiply the number by 0.04).
If we call the previous value of the house as P and the new value as N, the new value after one year will be
[tex]N=P+0.04P=(1+0.04)P=1.04P[/tex]Every year that passes, to get the new value we multiply again by 1.04. The expression for the predicted value after t years is
[tex]N(t)=P_0(1.04)^t[/tex]Where P0 represents the initial value of the house. Evaluating t = 22 on this expression, we have
[tex]N(22)=205,900(1.04)^{22}=487,966.279171\ldots\approx487,966[/tex]The predicted value of his home in 22 years is $487,966.

L) Point A bisects CR. CA = 8x + 1 and AR = 6x+13.Find CA.34927
Answers
We will investigate some application of line bisectors.
We have a line segment denoted as ( CR ). A point ( A ) is said to be bisecting the line segment.
Line bisection involves the process of equally dividing the entire line segment in two equal halves! We can also represent this scenario graphically for clearification:
We can also represent line bisection mathematically in terms of two smaller divisions ( CA and AR ) as follows:
[tex]Bi\sec tion\colon\text{ |CA| = |AR| = }\frac{|CR|}{2}[/tex]Where, the quantities are expressed as magnitudes/lengths of each segment indicated.
We are given expressions for bifurcated line segments |CA| and |AR| in terms of variable ( x) as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |CA|\text{ = 8x + 1} \\ |AR|\text{ = 6x + 13} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we will use the expression given for each smaller division of line |CR| and plug it in the general " Bisection " expression developed above:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |CA|\text{ = |AR|} \\ 8x\text{ + 1 = 6x + 13} \end{gathered}[/tex]We have constructed an equation with a single variable ( x ). We can solve this equation for the variable ( x ) using basic mathematical operations as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x\text{ - 6x = 13 - 1} \\ 2x\text{ = 12} \\ x\text{ = 6} \end{gathered}[/tex]Once we have solved for the variable ( x ). We will again use the defined expression for each smaller segments and determine the magnitudes as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} |CA|\text{ = 8}\cdot(6)\text{ + 1 } \\ |CA|\text{ = 49 units} \\ \\ |AR|\text{ = 6}\cdot(6)\text{ + 13 } \\ |AR|\text{ = 49 units} \\ \\ |\text{ CR | = 2}\cdot|CA|\text{ = 2}\cdot49 \\ |\text{ CR | = 98 units} \end{gathered}[/tex]is 1,000 feet greater than 300 yards

At a food drive, afood bank has a goal to collect 24,000 cans.If the food bank collects 100 fewer cansthan its goal, how many cans did it collect?
Answers
Given:
• Expected number of cans to collect = 24,000 cans.
,• The food bank collects 100 fewer cans.
Let's find the number of cans it collected.
Since the food bank collected 100 fewer cans, to find the number of cans it collected, let's subtract 100 from the expected goal which is 24000 cans.
Hence, we have:
Number of cans collected = expected goal - 100
Number of cans collected = 24000 - 100 = 23900
Therefore, the number of cans the food bank collected was 23,900 cans.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a\cdot d}{b\cdot c} \\ \frac{\frac{33}{4}}{\frac{4}{3}}=\frac{33\cdot3}{4\cdot4}=\frac{99}{16}=6.2\text{ miles per hour} \end{gathered}[/tex]So, Marlon ran 6.2 miles per hour.

Area of Triangle = 0.5 * base * height
Area of Rectangle = base * height
Now, let's find each of the Areas A through D:
Area of A:
To find the base of this triangle, we have to use pythagorean theorem. By which we can write:
[tex]b^2+4^2=6^2[/tex]Where b is the base. let's solve for b:
[tex]\begin{gathered} b^2+16=36 \\ b^2=36-16 \\ b^2=20 \\ b=\sqrt[]{20} \\ b=\sqrt[]{4}\sqrt[]{5} \\ b=2\sqrt[]{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Area is

This is a rectangle with base = 10 and height 4, so the area is:
Area = 4 * 10 = 40
Area of C:
Area of C is exactly same as area of B, base is 10 and height is 4. So,
Area = 4 * 10 = 40
Area of D:
Like area of A, we have to find the base of the triangle first, using pythagorean theorem. We can write:

[tex]\begin{gathered} b^2+4^2=4.5^2 \\ b^2+16=20.25 \\ b^2=\frac{17}{4} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{17}}{\sqrt[]{4}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{17}}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, area of triangle is:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{\sqrt[]{17}}{2})(4)=\sqrt[]{17}[/tex]Area of whole figure:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\sqrt[]{5}+40+40+\sqrt[]{17} \\ =80+4\sqrt[]{5}+\sqrt[]{17} \end{gathered}[/tex]Since mulch costs $3 per square feet, we have to multiply the area by "3", so we have:

For each coefficient choose whether it is positive or negative. Choose the coefficient with the greatest value. Choose the coefficient closest to zero.
Answers
First we need to find if the coefficients are negative or positive. The function:
[tex]\lvert x\rvert[/tex]Is always positive which means that its graph must be over the x axis. If this function is multiplied by a positive coefficient then the graph remains over the x axis. On the other hand, if it's multiplied by a negative number then the graph is now under the x axis. A and B graph are over the x axis so they are positive whereas C and D graphs are under the x axis and they are negative and that's the answer for a.
Then we must find the coefficient with the greatest value. Since a positive number is greater than any negative number we can discard C and D. Now we have two options, A and B which we know are different numbers since their graph are different. Both are V shaped but graph B is sharper than graph C. This means that B is greater than C. Then, the answer to part b is coefficient B.
In part c we must choose the coefficient that is closest to 0. Using the same argument as before, the sharper the V shaped graph is the greatest absolute value its coefficient has. This means that the least sharp graph is that of the coefficient that is closer to 0. Looking at the four graphs you can see that the least sharp V is that of coefficient A. Then, the answer to part c is coefficient A.
There are 221 6th graders in the HPS district that are going on field trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts when we get back to school. If each bus holds 46 students, how many buses should be hierd to transport us?
Answers
Students = 221
Each bus holds 46 students
Divide the total number of students (221) by the capacity of each bus (46 )
221 /46 = 4.8 = 5 buses
