Answer:

A=140m² and P=54m

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the perimeter or area, we are going to first need to find the lenghts of the missing sides. There are two of them, we are going to refer to one as the shorter one and the other as the longer one.

Shorter One = 12-8

Shorter One = 4

Longer One = 15-5

Longer One = 10

From this we can then add the side lengths to find the perimeter of the figure.

Perimeter=5+15+12+8+4+10

Perimeter=20+20+14

Perimeter=54

The perimeter of the figure is 54m, therefore we can eliminate two of the answer choices.

Next, we need to find the area of the figure. The easiest way is to cut the figure into two pieces, I chose to do it by cutting a long rectangle, and then add their areas together.

A=(5*12)+(10*8)

A=60+80

A=140

Therefore the correct answer choice is A=140m² and P=54m

A new shopping mall records 150 total shoppers on their first day of business. Each day after that, the number of shoppers is 15

Wewaii [24]

The number of shoppers is an illustration of an exponential function.

The expression for the number of shoppers is: $\mathbf{f(n) = 150(1.15)^n}$

The given parameters are:

<em /> $\mathbf{a = 150}$ <em> -- the number of shoppers on the first day of business</em>

<em /> $\mathbf{r = 15\%}$ <em> --- the rate</em>

<em />

Because, the number of shoppers <em>increases each day</em>, the number of shopper on a certain day is:

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1 + r)^n}$

Substitute 15% for r

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1 + 15\%)^n}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1 + 0.15)^n}$

$\mathbf{f(n) = a \times (1.15)^n}$

Substitute 150 for a

$\mathbf{f(n) = 150 \times (1.15)^n}$

$\mathbf{f(n) = 150(1.15)^n}$

Hence, the expression for the number of shoppers is: $\mathbf{f(n) = 150(1.15)^n}$

Answer:

y=-1/4x+19/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps

The equation you were supposed to use is

y=mx+b

b= Y-intercept

m= slope

In this case the slope is -1/4

The Y-inetcept is 19/4
