For the following exercises, use this scenario: a bag of M&Ms contains $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}12\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ blue, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}6\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ brown, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}10\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ orange, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}8\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ yellow, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}8\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ red, and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}4\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ green M&Ms. Reaching into the bag, a person grabs 5 M&Ms.

Use the following scenario for the exercises that follow: In the game of Keno, a player starts by selecting $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}20\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ numbers from the numbers $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}1\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ to $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}80.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ After the player makes his selections, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}20\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ winning numbers are randomly selected from numbers $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}1\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ to $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}80.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ A win occurs if the player has correctly selected $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}3,4,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ or $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}5\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ of the $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}20\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ winning numbers. (Round all answers to the nearest hundredth of a percent.)

For each year t, the population of a forest of trees is represented by the function A(t) = 117(1.029)t. In a neighboring forest, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function B(t) = 86(1.025)t.
by how many trees did forest "A" have a greater number?

Kenard
how solve standard form of polar
what is a complex number used for?
It's just like any other number. The important thing to know is that they exist and can be used in computations like any number.
Steve
I would like to add that they are used in AC signal analysis for one thing
Scott
Good call Scott. Also radar signals I believe.
Steve
Is there any rule we can use to get the nth term ?
how do you get the (1.4427)^t in the carp problem?
A hedge is contrusted to be in the shape of hyperbola near a fountain at the center of yard.the hedge will follow the asymptotes y=x and y=-x and closest distance near the distance to the centre fountain at 5 yards find the eqution of the hyperbola
A doctor prescribes 125 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 30% each hour. To the nearest hour, what is the half-life of the drug?

Outside temperatures over the course of a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose the high temperature of ?105°F??105°F? occurs at 5PM and the average temperature for the day is ?85°F.??85°F.? Find the temperature, to the nearest degree, at 9AM.
if you have the amplitude and the period and the phase shift ho would you know where to start and where to end?
rotation by 80 of (x^2/9)-(y^2/16)=1
thanks the domain is good but a i would like to get some other examples of how to find the range of a function
what is the standard form if the focus is at (0,2) ?
