The population of the town in 1982 is 29995.2.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

A ratio or value that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. And it is represented by the symbol '%'.

Given, the population in 2020 is 49992.

40 percentage of population

= 40 % of 49992

= 40 x 49992/100

= 19996.8

Now the population in 1982

= population in 2020 - 40% of population in 1982

= 49992 - 19996.8

= 29995.2

Therefore the population in 1982 is 29995.2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=-3(x^2+10x+25)-1\\ \\ y=-3x^2-30x-76\\ \\ dy=-6x-30\\ \\ d^2y=-6\\ \\ \text{Since the second derivative is always negative, when the first derivative is equal to zero the function will be at a global maximum.}\\ \\ dy=0=-6x-30\\ \\ x=-5\\ \\ f(-5)=-1\\ \\ \text{So the global maximum occurs at the point (-5,-1)$

Find the value of x (4x-9) (3x+29)

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

12x³+89x²-261x (?)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation, I am going to assume you want to find the value of the expression and you're multiplying all the values (since you can't find the value of x with this unless you had an equation).

(x)(4x-9)(3x+29)

(4x²-9x)(3x+29)

12x³+89x²-261x

mestny [16]

The expressions of the number of radians can be expressed in the ways below.

<h3>How to write the expressions</h3>

The radius = 1.9 km

The angular speed = 3.1 radians per hour

a. The expression of t from the number of radians

θ = π/2 + 3.1t

<h3>b. Expression from the East</h3>

x = rcosθ

= 1.9cos(π/2 + 3.1t)km

<h3>c. Expression from the north of the center</h3>

= rsinθ

= 1.9sin((π/2 + 3.1t)km
