A town has a population of 50,000. Its rate increases 8% every 6 months. Find the population after 4 years. Every 6 months means twice a year. So we have 4 years * twice a year increase = 8 compounding periods. Our formula for compounding an initial population P at time t is P(t) at a compounding percentage i: P(t) = P * (1 + i)^t Since 8% is 0.08 as a decimal and t = 4 *2 = 8, we have: P(8) = 50000 * (1.08)^8 P(8) = 50000 * 1.85093 P(8) = 92,546.51 Since we can't have a partial person, we round down to [B]92,545[/B]

Consider the formula for the area of a trapezoid: A=12h(a+b) . Is it mathematically simpler to solve for a, b, or h? Why? Solve for each of these variables to demonstrate. The variable "h" is the easiest to solve for. Because you only have one step. Let's review: Divide each side of the equation by 12(a + b) h = 12(a + b)/A Solving for "a", we two steps. Divide each side by 12h: A/12h = a + b Subtract b from each side a = A/12h - b Solving for "b" takes two steps as well. Divide each side by 12h: A/12h = a + b Subtract a from each side b = A/12h - a

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.6, then P(A U B)=? We know the following formula for the probability of 2 events: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) We're told A and B are independent, which makes P(A intersection B) = 0. So we're left with: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) P(A U B) = 0.2 + 0.6 - 0 P(A U B) = [B]0.8[/B]

If a universal set contains 250 elements, n(A) = 90, n(B) = 125, and n(A ∩ B) = 35, find n(A ∪ B)'.
If a universal set contains 250 elements, n(A) = 90, n(B) = 125, and n(A ∩ B) = 35, find n(A ∪ B)'. We know from set theory that: n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B) Plugging in our given values, we get: n(A U B) = 90 + 125 - 35 n(A U B) = 180 The problem asks for n(A U B)'. This formula is found with: n(A U B)' = n(U) - n(A U B) n(U) is the universal set which is 250, so we have: n(A U B)' = 250 - 180 n(A U B)' = [B]70[/B]

If the speed of an aeroplane is reduced by 40km/hr, it takes 20 minutes more to cover 1200m. Find th
If the speed of an aeroplane is reduced by 40km/hr, it takes 20 minutes more to cover 1200m. Find the time taken by aeroplane to cover 1200m initially. We know from the distance formula (d) using rate (r) and time (t) that: d = rt Regular speed: 1200 = rt Divide each side by t, we get: r = 1200/t Reduced speed. 20 minutes = 60/20 = 1/3 of an hour. So we multiply 1,200 by 3 3600 = (r - 40)(t + 1/3) If we multiply 3 by (t + 1/3), we get: 3t + 1 So we have: 3600 = (r - 40)(3t + 1) Substitute r = 1200/t into the reduced speed equation: 3600 = (1200/t - 40)(3t + 1) Multiply through and we get: 3600 = 3600 - 120t + 1200/t - 40 Subtract 3,600 from each side 3600 - 3600 = 3600 - 3600 - 120t + 1200/t - 40 The 3600's cancel, so we get: - 120t + 1200/t - 40 = 0 Multiply each side by t: -120t^2 - 40t + 1200 = 0 We've got a quadratic equation. To solve for t, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/quadratic.php?num=-120t%5E2-40t%2B1200%3D0&pl=Solve+Quadratic+Equation&hintnum=+0']we type this in our search engine[/URL] and we get: t = -10/3 or t = 3. Since time [I]cannot[/I] be negative, our final answer is: [B]t = 3[/B]
