A certain country has 586.08 million acres of forest. Every year, the country loses 7.92 million acres of forest mainly due to deforestation for farming purposes. If this situation continues at this pace, how many years later will the country have only 237.6 million acres of forest left? (Use an equation to solve this problem.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

At this pace the country will have only 237.6 million acres of forest left in 44 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain country has 586.08 million acres of forest, and every year, the country loses 7.92 million acres of forest mainly due to deforestation for farming purposes, to determine, if this situation continues at this pace, how many years later will the country have only 237.6 million acres of forest left, the following calculation must be performed:

Current amount - (amount lost per year x number of years) = 237.6

586.08 - (7.92 x X) = 237.6

586.08 - 7.92X = 237.6

-7.92X = 237.6 - 586.08

-7.92X = -348.48

X = -348.48 / -7.92

X = 44

Therefore, at this pace the country will have only 237.6 million acres of forest left in 44 years.

An ice cream shop finds that its weekly profit P (measured in dollars) as a function of the price x (measured in dollars) it charges per ice cream cone is given by the function k, defined by k(x) = 125x^2 +670x 125 where P= k(x).

Required:
a. Determine the maximum weekly profit and the price of an ice cream cone that produces that maximum profit
b. The cost of the ice cream cone is too low then the ice cream shop will not make a profit. Determine what the ice cream shop needs to charge in order to break even
c. The profit function for Cold & Creamy (another ice cream shop) is defined by the function g where gx)- k(x-2). Does the function g have at the same maximum value as k?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that k(x) = -125x² +670x - 125, where x is the charge per cone and P = k(x) is the weekly profit

a) The maximum profit is at P'(x) = 0. Therefore we have to find the derivative of the profit equation and equate it to 0.

P'(x) = k'(x) = 0

k'(x) = -250x + 670 = 0

-250x + 670 = 0

250x = 670

x = $2.68

P = k(2.68) = -125(2.68²) + 670(2.68) - 125 = $772.8

Hence the maximum profit is $772.8 when the price of each ice cream cone is $2.68

b) At break even, the profit is 0. Hence P= k(x) = 0

-125x² + 670x - 125 = 0

x = 5.17 or x = 0.19

Therefore to break even, the price of the ice cream cone needs to be $0.19 or $5.17

c) g(x) = k(x - 2)

g(x) = -125(x - 2)² + 670 (x -2) - 125

Maximum profit is at g'(x) = 0

g'(x) = -250(x-2) + 670

-250(x-2) + 670 = 0

-250x + 500 + 670 = 0

250x = 1170

x = 4.68

g(4.68) = -125(4.68 - 2)² + 670(4.68 -2) - 125 = $772.8

Therefore function g has the same maximum value as function k

Set your formula up as 180 = x+5+7x-5+x then solve for x

180 = x+5+7x-5+x

180 = x + 7x + x +5 - 5

180 - 5 + 5 = 9x

180 = 9x

180 / 9 = x

20 = x

If the measure of arc CB is 8/3 units, what is the measure of CAB?

Answers

Question:

If the measure of arc CB is [tex]\frac{8}{3} \pi[/tex] units, what is the measure of ∠CAB?

Answer:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has been attached to this response.

The figure shows a circle centered at A and has a radius of 4 units.

Also, the length of the arc CB (as given in the question) is  [tex]\frac{8}{3} \pi[/tex] units.

The length L of an arc is given by;

L = [tex]\frac{\beta }{360} * 2\pi * r[/tex]         -----------------(i)

Where;

β = angle subtended by the arc at the center of the circle and measured in degrees

r = radius of the circle

From the question;

β = ∠CAB

r = 4 units

L =  [tex]\frac{8}{3} \pi[/tex]

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

[tex]\frac{8}{3} \pi[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\beta }{360} * 2\pi * 4[/tex]

=>  [tex]\frac{8}{3} \pi[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\beta }{360} * 8\pi[/tex]

Cancel 8[tex]\pi[/tex] on both sides    

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\beta }{360}[/tex]

Cross multiply

3 x β = 360 x 1

3β = 360

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3\beta }{3} = \frac{360}{3}[/tex]

β = 120°

Therefore, the measure of ∠CAB is 120°
