Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is greater than -4, so strictly speaking, a slope of 3 is greater than a slope of -4.

On the other hand, the steepness of a line depends on the absolute value of the slope.

|3| = 3

|-4| = 4

Since 4 > 3, the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Answer: 3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount, in millions gallons of water, spent by Lee County, in t years after 2019, is given by the following equation:

$P(t) = P(0)(1 + r)^{t}$

In which P(0) is the amount spent on 2019 and r is the increse rate, as a decimal.

In the year 2019, Lee County used approximately 55 million gallons of water.

This means that $P(0) = 55$

Historical trends show that each year the water demand is increasing by a rate of approximately 2.1%.

This means that $r = 0.021$

$P(t) = P(0)(1 + r)^{t}$

$P(t) = 55(1 + 0.021)^{t}$

$P(t) = 55(1.021)^{t}$

Approximately how many million gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025?

2025 is 2025 - 2019 = 6 years after 2019. So this is P(6).

$P(t) = 55(1.021)^{t}$

$P(6) = 55(1.021)^{6}$

$P(6) = 62.3$

Rounded to the nearest millions

Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

(a) 1/6

(b) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes.

(a) The number is 2: only 1 outcome out of 6, hence 1/6

(b) The number is even: {2, 4, 6} - 3 outcomes out of 6, hence 3/6 = 1/2
