\begin{gathered} y-24=\frac{8}{3}(x-2011) \\ \text{There will be 48 horses in 2020 (option A)} \end{gathered}Explanation:

The initial number of horses = 24

year = 2011

Coordinates (2011, 24)

when the number of horses became 32, year was 2014

Coordinates (2014, 32)

We find the slope = rate of change

slope = change in number of horses/change in number of years

slope = (32-24)/(2014-2011)

slope = 8/3

The point slope formula:

\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ U\sin gpoint\colon x_1=2011,y_1=24 \end{gathered}y-24=\frac{8}{3}(x-2011)

The number of horses in year 2020

using points: (2011, 24) and (2020, y), we equate with the slope since it is constant for any two points on this model.

8/3 = (y - 24)/(2020 - 2011)

8/3 = (y - 24)/9

cross multiply:

8(9) = 3(y - 24)

72 = 3y - 72

72 + 72 = 3y

144 = 3y

144/3 = 3y/3

y = 48

Hence, there will be 48horses in 2020 (option A)

What is the solution to the equation 2 (x-3) ^2 =13 help help ASAP !
olganol [36]

Answer:

3+sqrt(13/2)

3-sqrt(13/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x-3) ^2 =13

Divide each side by 2

2/2 (x-3) ^2 =13/2

(x-3) ^2 =13/2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-3) ^2) =±sqrt(13/2)

x-3 = ±sqrt(13/2)

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 3±sqrt(13/2)

x = 3±sqrt(13/2)

The calculations for 2, 4, 8 year can be derived as follows,

For simple interest:

                   S.I = \frac{P*T*R}{100}

P= principle

T= Time

R= Rate

For 2 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*2*5.6}{100}=  $224

           Amount = $2224

For 4 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*4*5.6}{100}= $448

           Amount = $2448

For 8 year;

             S.I = \frac{2000*8*5.6}{100}= $896

           Amount = $2896
