a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.

b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:

m = -2400/12 = -200.

Hence the equation is:

P(t) = -200t + 29600.

2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:

P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 inches. If the base is longer than half of the two other equal sides by 2 inches, f
Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let equal sides of an isosceles triangle = a inches

Base = \frac{1}{2}a+2 inches

Perimeter  = 32 inches

a + a + \frac{1}{2}a+2 = 32

2a + \frac{1}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\\frac{2a*2}{1*2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{4a}{2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{5}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\

Subtract 2 from both sides

\frac{5}{2}a=32-2\\\\\frac{5}{2}a=30\\\\a=30*\frac{2}{5}\\\\a=6*2

a = 12 inches

base = \frac{1}{2}*12+2

        = 6 + 2

Base = 8 inches

Simplify foundation of alegebra
Eva8 [605]

1.) -8 + 10(6 + 4r)

First multiply the 10 into (6 + 4r)

-8 + 60 + 40r

52 + 40r


2.) (8m² - 8m + 8) - (2m - 7m² - 6)

Distribute the - into (2m - 7m² - 6)

8m² - 8m + 8 - 2m + 7m² + 6

Combine like terms

15m² - 10m + 14

(idk if you need to factor this or if you can leave it as is)
