Assume there is a virus in a town, and there exists one patient on day 1.

Assume that the patient transmits the virus to another person once per day, then this other person becomes a patient, and that all carriers spread the virus at the same rate, i.e. each patient passes the virus on to one other person per day.

Once someone has caught the virus, they do not catch it again.

The town has a fixed population of 700000

and the borders are closed so that no one can enter or exit the town.

How many days does it take to make everyone in the town catch the virus?

Answers

Answer 1

Using an exponential function, it is found that it takes 20 days for everyone in the town to catch the virus.

What is an exponential function?

An exponential function is given as follows:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

In which:

a is the initial value.b is the rate of change.

For this problem, we have that:

On the first day, one person has the virus.On the second day, the first person transmitted the virus to another person, hence two people have the virus.On the third day, each of the two people transmitted the virus to another two, hence four people have the virus.

From this, we get that the parameters are given as follows:

a = 1, b = 2.

Hence the function for the number of contaminated people after t days is given by:

[tex]f(t) = 2^t[/tex]

Now, we have to solve for t when f(t) = 700000, hence:

[tex]2^t = 700000[/tex]

[tex]\log{2^t} = \log{700000}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{2} = \log{700000}[/tex]

t = log(700000)/log(2)

t = 19.4, rounded to 20.

It takes 20 days for everyone in the town to catch the virus.

If the surface area of this box was 680in?, what

Answers

In cuboid , h = 14.5 is  the value of h have to be .

Exactly what is a cuboid?

A cuboid is a solid shape or a three-dimensional shape in geometry. A cuboid is a convex polyhedron that has six rectangular faces, eight vertices, and twelve edges. Another name for a cuboid is a rectangular prism. A cube is a cuboid with six square faces.

surface area = 2 ( lh + lw  + hw) = 680

2( 10h + 10(10) + h(10) = 680

20h + 100 + 20h = 680

40h = 680 - 100

40h = 580

What if? if the height of the pyramid were increased to 563 ft and the height to base area ratio of the pyramid were kept constant, by what percentage would the volume of the pyramid increas

Answers

The pyramid's volume will increase by 11.79%.

What is a pyramid?It has a polygonal base.A pyramid has n + 1 vertices, n + 1 faces, and 2n edges with an n-sided base.

A Pyramid's volume is calculated as:

[tex]V=\frac{B h}{3}[/tex]

Where:

B denotes the base area.h stands for height.

When the height increases from 458 to 512, the initial and final volumes are as follows:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&V_1=\frac{458}{3} b \\&V_2=\frac{512}{3} b\end{aligned}[/tex]

The percentage difference is then calculated as follows:

[tex]\% \text { Change }=\frac{V_2-V_1}{V_1} \times 100 \%[/tex]

We obtain:

[tex]\% \text { Change }=\frac{512 b / 3-458 b / 3}{4586 / 3} \times 100 \%\\\% \text { Change }=\frac{54 b / 3}{4586 / 3} \times 100 \%\\\% \text { Change }=0.1179 \times 100 \%\\\% \text { Change }=11.79 \%[/tex]

Gradient or slope can be found using the point-slope formula:

We can rearrange the equation to find slope (m) like so:

[tex]m=\frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1} }[/tex]

To use this formula we need to find two well-defined points and use their coordinates.

Let's use (0,2) and (3,3) because they are clear points on the graph.

(0,2) will represent [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] in the equation respectively, and (3,3) our other point will represent [tex]x_{1}[/tex] and [tex]y_{1}[/tex].

Now we just need to plug the numbers into the equation:

Given,

A basketball team raised $200 to purchase new jerseys.

There are 8 people on the team and jerseys cost $22 each.

With the extra money, the team would like to purchase socks at $5 per pair.

Here we need to find the  inequality that describes the situation and solve it. And also we need to find the greatest number of pairs of socks the team can purchase.

Let S be the number of Socks they brought.

Based on the given details,

The following inequality must be raised:

=> (22 x 8) + (5 x S) = 200

When we solve it,

If a quadratic function has the rule f(x)=(x-h)^2+k, what will cause a vertical translation?
Option 1: Changing the value of h
Option 2: Changing the value of k
Please help me as soon as possible, thanks.

Answers

to apply a vertical translation we changed the value of k, which is the y-value of the vertex of the quadratic equation.

Then the correct option is the second one.

What will cause a vertical translation?

First, remember that for a general function f(x) we define a vertical translation of N units as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

If N > 0, the translation is upwards.If N < 0, the translation is downwards.

In this case, we have the function:

f(x) = (x - h)^2 + k

If we apply a vertical translation of N units, then we get the new function:

f'(x) = (x - h)^2 + k + N

Now we have two constants, we can define:

k ' = k + N

Then the new quadratic function is:

f'(x) = (x - h)^2 + k'

So, as you can see, to apply a vertical translation we changed the value of k, which is the y-value of the vertex of the quadratic equation.

Then the correct option is the second one.

Using Trigonometric ratios, we can conclude the length of the indicated side is 12.70m.

Firstly using Trigonometric ratios

Using Sinθ,

Sinθ = perpendicular / hypotenuse(h)

Sin 39 = 8 / h

0.63 = 8 / h

h = 8 / 0.63

h = 12.70

∴ The length of indicated side is 12.70m

Secondly, using Pythagoras theorem,

(hypotenuse)² = (Altitude)² + (Base)²

⇒ (H)² = 8² + 10²

⇒ (H)² = 64 + 100

The area of the shaded region is the sum of the area of the major sector and the area of the triangle

The area of the major sector is

A1= ∅/360 * πr²

The area of the triangle is

A2 = 0.5r²sin(x)

So, the total area is

Total = ∅/360 * πr² + 0.5r²sin(x)

This gives

Total = (360 - 130)/360 * 3.14 * 11.1^2 + 0.5 * 11.1^2 * sin(130 deg)

The time it will take to travel a distance of 225km is t = 9 h

What is MRU?

 MRU are the acronyms that define the uniform rectilinear movement which is the movement that maintains a variation of the distance with respect to time always constant since the acceleration is null.

We will calculate the speed you have in cyclist with the initial data of traveling a distance of 125km in a time of 5 hours:

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 125km/5h

Speed = 25 km/h

We now determine a time for a 225km course

25 km/h = 225km/t

t = 225km / 25km/h
