The population, y, of a small town can be represented using a quadratic model. The maximum population, 6,000 people, occurred 20

years after record keeping began. Five years later, the population was 5,950. If x represents the number of years after record keeping began, which equation represents the given scenario? y = 2(x – 20)2 + 6,000 y = –2/9(x – 20)2 + 6,000 y = –2(x – 20)2 + 6,000 y =2/9 (x – 20)2 + 6,000

Answer:

y = -2(x - 20)² + 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The maximum population, 6,000 people, occurred 20 years after record keeping began. Five years later, the population was 5,950

To Find: If x represents the number of years after record keeping began, which equation represents the given scenario?

Solution:

Vertex = (20,6000) and the parabola opens downward.  

So, Equation is:  

y = A (x - 20)² + 6000    --1

Now, we need to find A.

It is also given that Five years later, the population was 5,950

This means in 25th year the population was 5950.

So, point (25,5950) is on the parabola. Now substitute the given point in the equation to get value of A

5950 = A (25 - 20)² + 6000  

-50 = A (5)²  

-50 = 25 A  

A = -2  

Now substitute the value of A in 1

Thus Equation becomes:   y = -2(x - 20)² + 6000

Hence Option 3 is correct .

y = -2(x - 20)² + 6000 represent the situation.

What is the fourth term of the sequence a1=m an= 2an-1
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  8m

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you're describing a geometric sequence with first term m and common ratio 2. Then the n-th term is ...

  a[n] = m·2^(n-1)

and the fourth term is

  a[4] = m·2^(4-1) = 8m

The equation of three lines are given below
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The line 2 and Line 3 are perpendicular to each others

But There is no relation between Line 1 and Line 2  , Line 1 and Line 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The three line equation is

Line 1 : 2 y = 5 x + 6

Line 2 : y = \frac{2}{5} x - 1

Line 3 : 10 x + 4 y = - 6

Now, The standard equation of line is

y = m x + c

where m is the slope of line

And c is the y intercept

So, From Line 1

2 y = 5 x + 6

or , y =  \frac{5}{2} x + \frac{6}{2}

I.e y =  \frac{5}{2} x + 3

So,  slope of this line = m_1 =  \frac{5}{2}

Again , From Line 2

y = \frac{2}{5} x - 1

So, slope of this line =  m_2 =  \frac{2}{5}

Similarly , From Line 3

10 x + 4 y = - 6

I.e 4 y = - 6 - 10 x

or, y = - \frac{6}{4} -  \frac{10}{4} x

I.e y =  - \frac{5}{2} x  - \frac{6}{4}

So, Slope of this line = m_3 = - \frac{5}{2}

<u>Now, If the lines are parallel , then the slope of the lines are equal</u>

<u>And  If the lines are perpendicular , then the product of the slopes of the lines = - 1</u>

Now, From given lines

m_2 × m_3 = \frac{2}{5} × ( - \frac{5}{2} )

I.e m_2 × m_3 = - 1

So, The line 2 and Line 3 are perpendicular to each others

But There is no relation between Line 1 and Line 2  , Line 1 and Line 3

Hence The line 2 and Line 3 are perpendicular to each others

But There is no relation between Line 1 and Line 2  , Line 1 and Line 3 Answer
