You could attempt doing a log mean.


If your population was growing linearly, you could simply do:

\frac{(Y_2+Y_1)}{(2)}=Present

Y2=6.25million, Y1=4million


This would work since you are right in the middle of a straight line.


However, since your population is growing exponentially, you would take a log mean, which would look like this:

\frac{(Y_2-Y_1)}{ln(Y_2/Y_1)}


This will give you the middle number with respect to an exponential curve. This would only work because the time difference is 5 years in both directions, so if the time difference was not equal in both directions, you'd have to develop an exponential equation that would fit your data.

Translate this sentence into an equation. 62 is the sum of 12 and Chrissy's age. Use the variable c to represent Chrissy's age.
Greeley [361]
62= 12+c

Which your answer is 50 cause if you take 62 and subtract it to 12 it's 50. So 50 + 12 = 62

sineoko [7]
If this scenario is a pair of parallel lines intersected by a transversal then it is true that
2 = 6
Then, among the choices, the statement that is true is
2 is supplementary to 8 since 6 is supplementary to 8
By transitivity property, 2 is supplementary 8

Using the method of completing the square, put each circle into the form
tatiyna

Answer:

Standard form: (x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y-0)^2 = 15

Center: (\frac{1}{2}, 0)

Radius: r =\sqrt{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in the standard form is

(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} = r^{2}

Where the point (h, k) is the center of the circle

To transform this equation 4x^{2} -4x + 4y^{2} - 59 = 0 this equation  in the standard form we use the method of square.

First, we group similar variables

(4x^{2} -4x) + (4y^{2}) - 59 = 0

Divide both sides of equality by 4

(x^{2} -x) + (y^{2}) - 14.75 = 0

Now we complete square for variable x.

Take the coefficient "b" that accompanies the variable x and divide by 2. Then, elevate the result to the square:

b =-1\\\\\frac{b}{2}= \frac{-1}{2}= -\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{b}{2})^2=  (-\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}

Now add (\frac{b}{2})^2 on both sides of the equality

(x^{2} -x +\frac{1}{4}) + (y^{2}) - 14.75 = (\frac{1}{4})

Factor the expression and simplify the independent terms

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y^{2}) = 15

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y-0)^2 = 15

Then

h =\frac{1}{2}\\\\k=0

and the center is (\frac{1}{2}, 0)

radius r =\sqrt{15}
