Answer:

P = 61 - 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a recent survey, in 2000, 61% of households had one or more pets. Throughout the next decade, this decreased by approximately 4% per year.

Therefore, if P represents the percentage of households having pets and x is the number of years after 2000, the expression for P as a function of x will be

P = 61 - 4x (Answer)

A figure is composed of a semicircle and a right triangle. Determine the area of the shaded region. Use 3.14 for π and round to
Aliun [14]

Answer:

A=9.5\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of triangle plus the area of semicircle

so

A=\frac{1}{2}bh+\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}

we have

b=4\ ft

Find the height of the right triangle applying the Pythagorean Theorem

5^2=h^2+4^2

h^2=9\\h=3\ ft

The radius of the semicircle is half the height of triangle

r=3/2=1.5\ ft

substitute in the formula

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(3)+\frac{1}{2}(3.14)(1.5)^{2}

A=6+3.5=9.5\ ft^2

Sara lost 12 pounds over the summer by jogging each week. By winter time she had gained 4 3/8 pounds. Represent this situation w
Vika [28.1K]

The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is w - 12 + 4 3/8 and the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds

<h3>Represent this situation with an expression involving signed numbers. </h3>

Let Sara's initial weight be w.

The given parameters are:

Lost = 12 pounds

Gain = 4 3/8 pounds

The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is represented as:

Weight = Initial - Lost + Gain

So, we have:

Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8

<h3>What is the overall change in Sara’s weight?.</h3>

In (a), we have:

Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8

The overall change is:

Change = - 12 + 4 3/8

Evaluate

Change = -7 5/8

Hence, the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds

Find the number of positive integers n is less than or equal to 1000 such that 15n is a perfect square.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

8 positive integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

One value of n would be 15 because 225 = 15^2.

Other values  are 225 * n where 15n  <= 1000 and n is a perfect square.

So n = 4 gives us 225* 4 = 900 which is a perfect square and 15*4 = 60.

n = 9  gives us 225 * 9 which is a perfect square and 15*9 = 135.

n = 16 gives us 225*16  and 15*16 = 240 , so OK.

n = 25   gives a perfect square and  and 15*25 = 375 - so OK.

n = 36 gives a perfect square and 15*36 = 540 - so OK.

n = 49 gives a perfect square and  15*49 = 735 - so OK.

n = 64 gives a perfect square and 15*64 = 960 - so ok.

n = 81 gives a perfect square and 15 * 81 = 1215  so NOT ok.

HURRY PLZ!
timama [110]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

f^{-1}(x) means the inverse. The inverse is the function reflected over the y=x line. This means the values have been reversed. (x,y)-->(y,x). We are looking for a point that has reversed values from the table.

The table has (1.-5) so the inverse is (-5,1) or D.

Graph: y = 3x - 5<br> Plz help
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The equation, y=3x-5 is in y=mx+b format. The b, or -5 in this case, tells you what the y intercept is, or in this case, your starting point. This means your first point will be at (0,-5). The mx, or 3x in this case, tell us how much to move     up and how much to move sideways. 3x is equal to 3/1x and the 3/1 tells us the rise/run. Rise being how much to go up or down and run being how much to go to the left or right. So in 3x, the rise is 3 and the run is 1. So you will go 3 up on the y axis and 1 to the right on the x-axis. So your next point will be (1, -2) and the point after that will be (2, 1) and so on!

hope this helped!
