WendysAccording to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Wendys revenue fell 3.2 to 489.5million in the second quarter of 2015. That represents a quarterly decay rate, as a decimal of e0.0325. Let R(t) denote Wendys revenue, in millions of dollars, t quarters after the second quarter of 2015. Suppose that revenue continues to fall at this same rate. a.Write the equation of change for Wendys revenue. b.Find a formula that gives Wendys revenue t quarters after the second quarter of 2015.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Inflation The yearly inflation rate tells the percentage by which prices increase. For example, from 1990 through 2000, the inflation rate in the United States remained stable at amount 3 per year. In 1990, an individual retired on a fixed income of 36,000 per year. Assuming that the inflation rate remains at 3, determine how long it will take for the retirement income to deflate to half its 1990 value. Note: To say that retirement income has deflated to half its 1990 value means that prices have doubled.arrow_forward

Real Estate Sales A real estate agency has fixed monthly costs associated with rent, staff salaries, utilities, and supplies. It earns its money by taking a percentage commission on total real estate sales. During the month of July, the agency had total sales of 832,000 and showed a net income after paying fixed costs of 15,704. In August, total sales were 326,000 with a net income of only 532. a. Use a formula to express net income as a linear function of total sales. Be sure to identify what the letters that you use mean. b. Plot the graph of net income and identify the slope and vertical intercept. c. What are the real estate agencys fixed monthly costs? d. What percentage commission does the agency take on the sale of a home? e. Find the horizontal intercept and explain what this number means to the real estate agency.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Moores Law The speed of a computer chip is closely related to the number of transistors on the chip, and the number of transistors on a chip has increased with time in a remarkably consistent way. In fact, in the year 1965, Dr. Gordon E. Moore now chairman emeritus of Intel Corporation observed a trend and predicted that it would continue for a time. His observation, now known as Moores law, is that every two years or so a chip is introduced with double the number of transistors of its fastest predecessor. This law can be restated in the following way: If time increases by 1year, then the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.15.More generally, the rule is that if time increases by tyears, then the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.15t.For example, after 8years, the number of transistors is multiplied by 100.158, or about 16. The 6th generation Core processor was released by Intel Corporation in the year 2015. a.If a chip were introduced in the year 2022, how many times the transistors of the 6th generation Core would you expect it to have? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b.The limit of conventional computing will be reached when the size of a transistors on a chip will be 200 times that of the 6th generation Core. When, according to Moores law, will that limit be reached? c.Even for unconventional computing, the law of physics impose a limit on the speed of computation. The fastest speed possible corresponds to having about 1040 times the number of transistors as on the 6th generation Core. Assume that Moores law will continue to be valid even for unconventional computing, and determine when this limit will be reached. Round your answer to the nearest century.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. The MacArthur-Wilson Theory of Biogeography Consider an island that is separated from the mainland, which contains a pool of potential colonizer species. The MacArthur-Wilson theory of biogeography hypothesizes that some species from the mainland will migrate to the island, but that increasing competition on the island will lead to species extinction. It further hypothesizes that both the rate of migration and the rate of extinction of species are exponential functions, and that an equilibrium occurs when the rate of extinction matches the rate of immigration. This equilibrium point is thought to be the point at which immigration and extinction stabilize. Suppose that, for a certain island near the mainland, the rate of immigration of new species is given by I=4.20.93tspeciesperyear and that the rate of species extinction on the island is given by E=1.51.1tspeciesperyear. According, to the MacArthur-Wilson theory, how long will be required for stabilization to occur, and what will be the immigration and extinction rates at that time?arrow_forward

Insect ControlDDT dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane was used extensively from 1940 to 1970 as an insecticide. It still sees limited use for control of disease. But DDT was found to be harmful to plants and animals, including humans, and its effects were found to be lasting. The amount of time that DDT remains in the environment depends on many factors, but the following table shows what can be expected of 100 kilograms of DDT that has seeped into the soil. t=time,inyearssinceapplication D=DDTremaining,inkilograms 0 100.00 1 95.00 2 90.25 3 85.74 a.

HydrographsWhen a rainfall brings more water than the soil can absorb, runoff occurs, and hydrologists refer to the event as a rainfall excess. The easiest way to envision runoff is to think of a watershed that drains into the mouth of a single stream. The runoff is the number of cubic feet per minute cfpm being dumped into the mouth of the stream. An important way of depicting runoff is the hydrograph, which is simply the graph of total discharge, in cubic feet per minute, versus time. A typical runoff hydrograph is shown in Figure 1.47. The horizontal axis is hours since rainfall excess began. A hydrograph displays a number of important features. a. Time to peak is the elapsed time from the start of rainfall excess to peak runoff. What is the time to peak shown by the hydrograph in Figure 1.47? b. Time of concentration is the elapsed time from the end of rainfall excess to the inflection point after peak runoff. The end of rainfall excess is not readily apparent from a hydrograph, but it occurs before the peak. If the end of rainfall excess occurred 5 hours after the start of rainfall excess. estimate the time of concentration from Figure 1.47. c. Recession time is the time from peak runoff to the end of runoff. Estimate the recession time for the hydrograph in Figure 1.47. d. Time base is the time from beginning to end of surface runoff. What is the time base for the hydrograph in Figure 1.47? FIGURE 1.47 A runoff hydrographarrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
