An astronaut was exploring the moon of a distant planet, and found some glowing goo at the bottom of a very deep crater. She brought a 10-gram of the goo to her laboratory. She found that when the goo was exposed to light, the total amount of goo increased by 100% every hour. How much goo will she have sfter 1 hour?After 2 hours? After 3 hours? After n hours?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20 ; 40 ; 80 ; 10(2^n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial amount of goo (p) = 10 gram

Total amount of goo increased by 100% every hour ;

How much goo will she have sfter 1 hour?After 2 hours? After 3 hours? After n hours?

Using the relation :

Final amount = initial * (1 + rate)^t

Rate = 100% = 100/100 = 1

t = number of hours

Hence, after 1 hour :

Final amount = 10(1 + 1)^1

Final amount = 10(2)^1 = 20 grams

After 2 hours : t = 2

Final amount = 10(1 + 1)^2

Final amount = 10(2)^2 = 10 * 4 = 40 grams

After 3 hours ; t = 3

Final amount = 10(1 + 1)^3

Final amount = 10(2)^3 = 10 * 8 = 80 grams

After n hours ; t = n

Final amount = 10(1 + 1)^n

Final amount = 10(2)^n grams

A famous basketball player scored 97 points in a high scool game, breaking a national record. She made 43 more 2-point baskets than 3-point baskets, and only 1 free throw. How many 2-point and 3-point baskets did she make?

Answers

x - 3pt baskets (he reaches 3x points)
y - 2pt baskets (he reaches 2y points)

We know, that y=x+43

97 - 1 free throw = 97 - 1 = 96
Sum of points: 96

3x + 2y = 96. Substitute to "y" an expression "x+43" :

3x + 2(x+43)=96
3x+2x+86=96
5x=10 |:5
x=2

So y=x+43=2+43=45

He has made 2 three points baskets and 45 two points baskets

What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = x2 + 4x + 10?

Answers

f(x) = x² + 4x + 10

f(x) - 10 = x² + 4x

perfect square:
x² + 4x + 4 ⇒ (x + 2)²

(x + 2)² = x(x+2) + 2(x+2) = x² + 2x + 2x + 4 = x² + 4x + 4

f(x) - 10 + 4 = x² + 4x + 4
f(x) - 6 = (x+2)²
f(x) = (x+2)² + 6
