1. Contaminated water is subjected to a cleaning process. The concentration of the
pollutants is initially 5 mg per liter of water. If the cleaning process can reduce the
pollutant by 10% each hour, define a function that can represent the concentration
of pollutants in the water in terms of the number of hours that the cleaning process
has taken place.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The concentration of pollutants in the water can be defined as the quotient between the mass of pollutants and the total mass of water.

Assuming that 1L of water weighs 1000 grams, we know that:

Mass of pollutants = 5mg = 0.005g.

Initial concentration = 0.005g/1000g = 0.000005

If we multiply this by 100%, we get the percentage:

0.000005*100% = 0.0005%

Now, the mass of pollutants decreases by 10% each hour.

So if initially, we have 5mg

After one hour, we will have: 5mg - 0.1*5mg = 5mg*(0.9).

After another hour, we will have: 5mg*(0.9) - 0.1*5mg*0.9 = 5mg*(0.9)^2.

And so on, then after n hours, the mass of pollutants will be:

M(n) = 5mg*(0.9)^n

Or we can write this in grams as:

M(n) = 0.005g*(0.9)^n

Then the concentration as a function of time in hours will be:

C(n) = M(n)/1000g = (0.005g/1000g)*(0.9)^n

Notice that the thing between the parentheses is the initial concentration, then if we write this in percentage form:

c(n) = 100%*(0.005g/1000g)*(0.9)^n = 0.0005%*(0.9)

The function that represents the concentration of polution in the water as a function of hours is:

c(n) = 0.0005%*(0.9)

Which ratio of lemons to oranges will make the same drink?
a:28:15
b:42:21
c:​21:9
d:15:35

Answers

Answer:

C, 21:19

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because we know that 21 divided by 7 is 3, so we would have to make sure that we are multiplying 7:3 by 3, which we are because 7 times 3 = 21 and 3 times 3 = 9.


A fish tank holds 175 gallons of water. Tom is emptying the tank and

Answers

Answer:

1. x = independent variable: Age

y = dependent variable: Accidents

2. Age scale and Accidents scale

The scale for age ranges from 15 - 30 with the value of 5 difference between each number.

While the accidents scale ranges from 0 -1 with no difference in between.

3. In my opinion, the scatter plot looks as though it decreases in accidents once the age rises. As seen from the data shown.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x is considered as  the independent variable, while y is considered the dependent value.

2) There are two sets of scales, one for the x and the other for y. These scales are the values that are interpreted in order to show data of the graph, due to their number and various size(s).

3) If you were to draw a line through the graph, you can somewhat create the image that the line would go down into the right corner! Meaning that it is decreasing over time.

Answers

Answer:

FIT: $340.76 (see comment)OASDI: $173.60Medicare: $40.60Net Pay: $2245.04

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition to the information given in the problem statement, we need to know the applicable tax rates and allowance deductions. If we assume the tables we found (attachments 1 and 2) are the same as those in your text, the one additional fact needed is the gross pay to date. At the given wage rate, paychecks after the 44th week will have reduced FICA tax deductions.

Allowances: 4 × $79.80 = $319.20

Adjusted gross pay for FIT: $2800 -319.20 ≈ $2481 (rounded to nearest $)*

FIT: 0.22 × (2481 -1711) +171.36 = 0.22×2481 -205.06 = 340.76

Social Security & Medicare: 0.0765 × 2800 = 214.20

Net pay = $2800 -340.76 -214.20 = $2245.04

_____

* Comment on rounding

The IRS gives the option of rounding the pay or the tax, as long as it is consistently done. Here, the amount of tax on the unrounded gross pay would be 4 cents less: 340.72. The option of reducing the last digit of pay to zero is also offered. FIT on 2480 would be 340.54.
