Answer:

1479 people

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount employed is 8381, that means 8381 is 85% of the population. 8381/85 = 98.6

Every 1% of the population is 98.6, so we can just do 15 x 98.6 to get 1479

Answer:

9,860

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 15% = 85 % = 85/100

85/100 * 8381/x

85x = 838,100

838,100/85 = 9,860

The vertex of this parabola is at (-3, 6). Which of the following could be its equation?

pishuonlain [190]

Since the vertex is at (-3, 6), the equation is given by
y = a(x + 3) + 6

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

A ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is h-48t -16t^2.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is $h(t)=-48t -16t^2$ . We are asked to find the maximum height of the ball.

We can see that our given equation is a downward opening parabola, so its maximum height will be the vertex of the parabola.

To find the maximum height of the ball, we need to find y-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

Let us find x-coordinate of parabola using formula $x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ .

$x=-\frac{-48}{2(-16)}$

$x=-\frac{48}{32}$

$x=-\frac{3}{2}$

So, the x-coordinate of the parabola is $-\frac{3}{2}$ . Now, we will substitute $x=-\frac{3}{2}$ in our given equation to find y-coordinate of parabola.

$h(t)=-48t -16t^2$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=-48(-\frac{3}{2})-16(-\frac{3}{2})^2$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=-24(-3)-16(\frac{9}{4})$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-4*9$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-36$

$h(-\frac{3}{2})=36$

Therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 36 feet.

Directions: State whether or not (3, -2) is a solution to the following systems.

andrew11 [14]

(3, -2) is a solution to the system of equations x - 2y = 7 and 2x + 3y = 0, (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations -x - y = -5 and 3x - 4y = 17 and (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations x + y = 1 and x - y = 6

<h3>How to determine the whether or not (3, -2) is a solution to the following systems?</h3>

The systems of equations are given as:

1. x - 2y = 7 and 2x + 3y = 0

2. -x - y = -5 and 3x - 4y = 17

3. x + y = 1 and x - y = 6

Next, we substitute (3, -2) for (x, y) in the system of equations.

So, we have:

3 - 2 * -2 = 7 and 2 * 3 + 3 * -2 = 0

Evaluate

7 = 7 and 0 = 0

The above equation is true

Hence, (3, -2) is a solution to the system of equations x - 2y = 7 and 2x + 3y = 0

-3 + 2 = -5 and 3 * 3 + 4 * 2 = 17

Evaluate

- 1 = - 5 and 1 7 = 1 7

The above equation is false

Hence, (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations -x - y = -5 and 3x - 4y = 17

3 - 2 = 1 and 3 + 2 = 6

Evaluate

1 = 1 and 5 = 6

The above equation is false

Hence, (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations x + y = 1 and x - y = 6
