Two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. The table shows the width, in feet, of each beach measured at high tide where 1

995 is represented by year 0: Year number Western Beach width (in feet) Dunes Beach width (in feet) 0 100 20 5 90 45 10 80 70 11 78 75 12 76 80 15 70 95 Describe the patterns shown by the erosion data measurements shown for each of the beaches in the table. Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width? Assuming these rates remain constant, what can you do to get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?

Answer:

1. Western erodes 2 ft/yr; Dunes builds up at 5 ft/yr

2. Sometime in 2006

3. Solve simultaneous equations

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Erosion patterns

(a) Western Beach

In 15 yr, Western Beach erodes from 100 ft to 70 ft.

The rate of erosion is 30 ft/15 yr = 2 ft/yr.

(b) Dunes Beach

In 15 yr, Dunes Beach builds up from 20 ft to 95 ft.

The rate of buildup is 75 ft/15 yr = 5 ft/yr.

2. Beaches with equal width

From the table, it appears that the beaches will have the same width sometime in year 11 (2006).

3. Best approximation

The graph below also shows that it happens part way through year 11 (2006).

We could get an even better solution by calculating the equations of the two lines and solving the simultaneous equations.

370 College freshmen were interviewed. 200 were registered for an Advanced Math class. 270 were registered for an English class
frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To aid in understanding, draw three circles...

100 were registered for both Math and English.

50 were registered for both Sport and English but not Math.

70 were registered for Math, Sport, and English.

From here we will be able to calculate for those that signed up for only English class: Total number of students that signed up for english class

a. none signed up only for Maths (refer to attached document)

b. How many signed up for neither Math nor English meaning they signed up for only sports which is 70 from the venn diagram in the attachment.

c. How many signed up for an English class and at least one other class?

From the venn diagram:

we could have an English class and maths class - 100

we could also have an a English class and sports - 50

Thus total is 150.

d. What is the total fee for all the students enrolled in classes

From the diagram, 120 (english only and sport only) enrolled for only one class = 120 x $100 = $12,000

From the diagram, 180 (english and sport, maths and sport and english and maths) enrolled for two classes = 180 x $150 = $27,000

From the diagram, only 70 enrolled for the three classes = 70 x $200 = $14,000

Total fees = $12,000 + $27,000 + $14,000 = $53,000

Just work through step by step
Follow each point until you reach one answer
Digits = 7
-9 = reverse

16 - 9 = 7        x
25 - 9 = 16      x
34 - 9 = 25      x
43 - 9 = 34      Y
52 - 9 = 43      x
61 - 9 = 52      x

4 + 3 = 7
43 - 9 = 34 - the digits have been reversed
