After having been on the air for more than a decade, fox's american idol seemed to be suffering from viewer fatigue. the average number of viewers from the 2011 season through the 2013 season is approximated by f(t) = 32.744e−0.252t (1 ≤ t ≤ 4) where f(t) is measured in millions, with t = 1 corresponding to the 2011 season.† (round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) what was the average number of viewers in the 2011 season? million viewers (b) what was the average number of viewers in the 2014 season, assuming that the trend continued into that season? million viewers

a) In the first season, there were 25.450 million viewers.

b) In the fourth season, the number of viewers was 11.950 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The average number of viewers in season t is given by the following function:

a) To obtain the average number of viewers in season 1, we have to evaluate the function at t = 1:

In the first season, there were 25.450 million viewers.

b) Now we have to evaluate the function at t = 4:

In the fourth season, the number of viewers was 11.950 million.

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
