32 A house purchased 5 years ago for $100,000 was just sold for $135,000. Assuming exponential growth, approximate the annual growth rate, to the nearest percent.
33 Solve the system of equations shown below algebraically
34 Alexa earns $33,000 in her first year of teaching and earns a 4% increase in each successive year. Write a geometric series formula, Sn, for Alexa’s total earnings over n years. Use this formula to find Alexa’s total earnings for her first 15 years of teaching, to the nearest cent
35 Fifty-five students attending the prom were randomly selected to participate in a survey about the music choice at the prom. Sixty percent responded that a DJ would be preferred over a band. Members of the prom committee thought that the vote would have 50% for the DJ and 50% for the band. A simulation was run 200 times, each of sample size 55, based on the premise that 60% of the students would prefer a DJ. The approximate normal simulation results are shown below.
36 Which function shown below has a greater average rate of change on the interval [-2, 4]? Justify your answer.
37 Drugs break down in the human body at different rates and therefore must be prescribed by doctors carefully to prevent complications, such as overdosing. The breakdown of a drug is represented by the function N(t) = N0(e)rt, where N(t) is the amount left in the body, N0 is the initial dosage, r is the decay rate, and t is time in hours. Patient A, A(t), is given 800 milligrams of a drug with a decay rate of 0.347. Patient B, B(t), is given 400 milligrams of another drug with a decay rate of 0.231.
Write two functions, A(t) and B(t), to represent the breakdown of the respective drug given to each patient.
Graph each function on the set of axes below.
To the nearest hour, t, when does the amount of the given drug remaining in patient B begin to exceed the amount of the given drug remaining in patient A?
The doctor will allow patient A to take another 800 milligram dose of the drug once only 15% of the original dose is left in the body. Determine, to the nearest tenth of an hour, how long patient A will have to wait to take another 800 milligram dose of the drug.
