George monitors the number of influenza infections reported in a certain neighborhood in a given week. The recent numbers are sh

own in this table:
Week Number of People

The number of infections in week 8 will be 172 people

<h3>How to know an exponential table? </h3>

An exponential function is defined by the formula f(x) = aˣ, where the input variable x occurs as an exponent.

According to the reports, the reported infections are growing at a rate of 20%.

Therefore, the exponential function is as follows:

A = 40(1 + 20%)ⁿ

where

n = number of weeks

Hence,

Number people = 40(1 + 0.2)ⁿ

when n = 8 weeks

A = 40 (1 + 0.2)⁸

A = 40 (1.2)⁸

A = 40(4.29981696)

A = 171.9926784

A = 172

Therefore, the number of infections in week 8 is 172 people.

Identify the polygon with vertices A(5,0), B(2,4), C(−2,1), and D(1,−3), and then find the perimeter and area of the polygon. HE

inn [45]

Answer:

Part 1) The polygon is a square

Part 2) The perimeter is equal to $20\ units$

Part 3) The area is equal to $25\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$A(5,0), B(2,4), C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

Plot the points

see the attached figure

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Find the distance AB

$A(5,0),B(2,4)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(2-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AB=5\ units$

Find the distance BC

$B(2,4), C(-2,1)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$BC=5\ units$

Find the distance CD

$C(-2,1),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$CD=5\ units$

Find the distance AD

$A(5,0),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(1-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$AD=5\ units$

we have that

AB=BC=CD=AD

Find the distance BD (diagonal)

$B(2,4),D(1,-3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-4)^{2}+(1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$BD=\sqrt{50}\ units$

<em>Verify if the polygon is a square</em>

If the triangle BDA is a right triangle, then the polygon is a square

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$BD^{2}=AD^{2}+AB^{2}$

substitute

$(\sqrt{50})^{2}=5^{2}+5^{2}$

$50=50$ -----> is true

so

The triangle BDA is a right triangle

therefore

The polygon is a square

<em>Find the Area of the polygon</em>

The area of a square is equal to

$A=b^{2}$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$A=5^{2}=25\ units^{2}$

<em>Find the perimeter of the polygon</em>

The perimeter of a square is equal to

$P=4b$

we have

$b=5\ units$

$P=4(5)=20\ units$

Determine the equation of a line that passrs through the point (4,-1) and also parallel to y=3x+4

nexus9112 [7]

First, plug in the given point into y=mx +b to find b (the y-intercept of the line). Use the same slope (m) in the equation since parallel lines have the same slope (3 in this case).

-1 = 3(4) +b
-1 = 12 + b Subtract 12 to both sides.
-13 = b

Now, put your m and b into y=mx+b.

The final answer/equation of your line is:

y=3x -13

Dilate (9, 6) using a scale factor of 1/3

KATRIN_1 [288]

The answer is (3,2)

To get this answer we either...
A) Multiply both coordinates by 1/3
or
B) Divide each coordinate by 3

9*(1/3) = 9/3 = 3
6*(1/3) = 6/3 = 2

A walkway is being constructed using square cement tiles that each have an area of 19.0 ft2. 6 tiles will be lined up end to end

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

26.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to first find the length of the side of each tile.

The area of each tile is 19.2 $ft^2$ .

The area of a square is:

A = $L^2$

where L = length of side

Therefore:

$19.2 = L^2\\\\L = \sqrt{19.2} = 4.38 feet$

6 tiles will be lined end to end to construct the walkway, hence, the length of the walkway is:

6 * 4.38 ≅ 26.3 feet
