Answer:

x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount be x

Then Ali got 1/8x With 7/8x left

Juma got 7/40x with 7/10x left

Musa, Khalid and Mustafa got 7/30x each

since \frac{7}{30}x=600

7x=18000

x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}

A circle has a radius of 10 inches. Find the approximate length of the arc intersected by a central angle of 2pi/3
Aloiza [94]
You can solve this problem and calculate the arc lenght, by applying the following formula:

 s=θr

 s: it is the arc lenght.
 θ: it is the central angle (θ=2π/3).
 r: it is the radius of the circle (r=10 inches).

 When you substitute these values into the formula, you obtain the arc lenght (s):

 s=θr
 s=(2π/3)(10)

 Then, you have that the value of the arc lenght is:

 s=20.94 inches

How does the slope of g(x) compare to the slope of f(x)?
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is 'The slope of g(x) is less than the slope of f(x)'  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graphs of f(x) and g(x). we have to compare the slops of these two.

The graph of f(x) passes through the points (1,0) and (2,2)

∴ \text{The slope of f(x)=}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-0}{2-1}=2

The graph of g(x) passes through the points (0,2) and (2,3)

∴ \text{The slope of g(x)=}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-2}{2-0}=\frac{1}{2}

As \frac{1}{2}

This shows that the

The slope of g(x) is less than the slope of f(x).

A population of 130,000 grows 4% per year for 16 years.
alexgriva [62]

Let's consider the scenario after each year:

After the zeroth year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)⁰

After the first year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)¹

After the second year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)²

...

Thus, we can find the general rule:

After the nth year, the population is: 120 000(1 + 0.04)ⁿ

And after the 16th year, the population is 120 000(1 + 0.04)¹⁶ = 224 758 (rounded to nearest whole number)
