The consumption rate of electricity, in kW/h has increased, on average, at 4.5% per year. If it continues to increase at
this rate indefinitely, find the number of years before the electric companies will need to double their generating
capacity
The electric company will need to double their generating capacity about every years.
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed)
A retailer buys Dalmatian stuffies for $6 each. (Assume that the retailer has no other variable costs). The retailer can only charge by the dollar so no
need to consider cents -- e.g., $3 is a price you could choose, $3.11 or $2.99 are not. The potential customers have the following WTP.

Problem 6: During service, a tennis ball is struck at height h = 1.8 m above a tennis court and moves with velocity vo = vo,i.
Assume the ball encounters no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial
position.
Randomized Variables
h = 1.8 m
Vox = 20.5 m/s
Part (a) Calculate the tennis ball's horizontal velocity, v in m/s, when it strikes the court.
Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.
