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]

B(t) = $25,000 * (1 - 0.05)^t Simplifying, this is: B(t) = $25,000 * (0.95)^t The problem asks for B(11) B(11) = $25,000 * (0.95)^11 B(11) = $25,000 * 0.5688 B(11) = [B]$14,220[/B]

A woman walked for 5 hours, first along a level road, then up a hill, and then she turned around and walked back to the starting point along the same path. She walks 4mph on level ground, 3 mph uphill, and 6 mph downhill. Find the distance she walked. Hint: Think about d = rt, which means that t = d/r. Think about each section of her walk, what is the distance and the rate. You know that the total time is 5 hours, so you know the sum of the times from each section must be 5. Let Level distance = L and hill distance = H. Add the times it took for each section of the walk: L/4 + H /3 + H/6 + L/4 = 5 The LCD of this is 12 from our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/gcflcm.php?num1=4&num2=3&num3=6&pl=LCM']LCD Calculator[/URL] [U]Multiply each side through by our LCD of 12[/U] 3L + 4H + 2H + 3L = 60 [U]Combine like terms:[/U] 6L + 6H = 60 [U]Divide each side by 3:[/U] 2L + 2H = 20 The woman walked [B]20 miles[/B]

A young dad, who was a star football player in college, set up a miniature football field for his five-year-old young daughter, who was already displaying an unusual talent for place-kicking. At each end of the mini-field, he set up goal posts so she could practice kicking extra points and field goals. He was very careful to ensure the goalposts were each straight up and down and that the crossbars were level. On each set, the crossbar was six feet long, and a string from the top of each goalpost to the midpoint between them on the ground measured five feet. How tall were the goalposts? How do you know this to be true? The center of each crossbar is 3 feet from each goalpost. We get this by taking half of 6, since midpoint means halfway. Imagine a third post midway between the two goal posts. It has the same height as the two goalposts. From the center post, the string from the top of a goalpost to the base of the center post, and half the crossbar form and right triangle with hypotenuse 5 feet and one leg 3 feet.

The mean age of 10 women in an office is 30 years old. The mean age of 10 men in an office is 29 years old. What is the mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office? Mean is another word for [U]average[/U]. Mean age of women = Sum of all ages women / number of women We're told mean age of women is 30, so we have: Sum of all ages women / 10 = 30 Cross multiply, and we get: Sum of all ages of women = 30 * 10 Sum of all ages of women = 300 Mean age of men = Sum of all ages men / number of men We're told mean age of men is 29, so we have: Sum of all ages men / 10 = 29 Cross multiply, and we get: Sum of all ages of men = 29 * 10 Sum of all ages of men = 290 [U]Calculate mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office:[/U] mean age of all the people in the office = Sum of all ages of people in the office (men and women) / Total number of people in the office mean age of all the people in the office = (300 + 290) / (10 + 10) mean age of all the people in the office = 590 / 20 mean age of all the people in the office = 29.5 The question asks for nearest year. Since this is a decimal, we round down to either 29 or up to 30. Because the decimal is greater or equal to 0.5 (halfway), we round [U]up[/U] to [B]30[/B]
