Answer:

The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700

Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:

p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)

p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000

p = 700t - 1397300

One side of the rectangle is x=2, the other side is 2x-5
Add up all the four sides: (x+2) +(x+2)+(2x-5)+(2x-5)=54
6x-6=54
x=10

#3: suppose the first integer is x, then the second one is x+2
x(x+2)=255
x^2 +2x -255 =0
factor the quadratic equation: (x+17)(x-15)=0 
x=-17, which is impossible, or x=15
so the two positive integers are 15 and 17

Sandra throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 38 ft/s from a platform that is 30 ft above the gro
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height.

In this case, the initial postion is a platform 30ft above ground so h0=+30

The initial velocity is 38 ft/s straight up into the air so v0=+38

h(t)=-16t2+38t+30

When the object hits the ground, h=0.

h=-16t2+38t+30=0

Simplifying 8t2-19t-15=0

(8t+5)(t-3)=0

t=-5/8 or 3

As time cannot be -ve, t=3s. The answer is C.

You hike 190 meters up a steep hill that has a 33∘ angle of elevation as shown in the diagram.
erik [133]

Answer:

b = 159 m

a = 103 m

angle B is 57 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s start with getting the measure of angle B

Mathematically, since we have a right triangle , we have to subtract the given angle from 90 to get the other acute angle

So we have the measure of B as;

90-33 = 57 degrees

To get the value of a, we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

a faces the angle 33, that makes it an opposite to that angle

190 faces the right angle and that makes it the hypotenuse

Mathematically , the relationship between the two is that trigonometrically, they are related by the sine which is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

so, we have it that;

sine 33 = a/190

a = 190 * sine 33

a = 103 m

to get b, it is adjacent to the given angle

So with the hypotenuse, the ratio between it and the hypotenuse is the cosine

so;

cos 33 = b/190

b = 190 * cos 33

b = 159 m

Nathan and Matt plan to paint a house. If Nathan works alone, it will take

Nathan= 1/10 of the job per day

Matt= 1/15 of the job per day

3/30 + 2/30. =5/30

1/(5/30) = 30/5. Or 6 days for both working together.
