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.

Which expression can be used to determine the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval mc001-1.jpg

Mrac [35]

The average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval (a, b) is given by
$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Therefore, given a function, f(x), over an interval (2, 9), the average rate of change of the function can be found using the expression
$\frac{f(9)-f(2)}{9-2}$

The equation of a line is y = -3x. To which equation is the line parallel to? A. Y = 1 third x minus 4 B. Y = 3x + 10 C. Y = -10

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

This line would be parallel to C. y = -10 - 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because parallel lines have the same slope. This means we must see the same coefficient of x in both equations. Both of these two equations have a coefficient of -3 on x.

Question 5

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this probability, we have to know:

How many numbers are there in between 5 and 8 inclusive?
How many total numbers are there?

We simply divide the first answer by the second one and get our probability.

So, the numbers are 5,6,7,8 ----- that is 4 numbers

How many numbers are there in total? That is:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 ------- 9 numbers

Thus, the probability is 4/9
