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.

An architect planned to construct two similar stone pyramid structures in a park. The
kondaur [170]

Answer:

1) Change the length of side AB to 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both structures are similar, it follows that the ratio of their corresponding lengths are equal.

To find out what should be the correct length of AB that she should change to, set up the proportion showing the ratio of 2 corresponding lengths of both structures. Thus:

\frac{PR}{AC} = \frac{PQ}{AB}

We will assume AB is unknown.

PR = 7.5 ft

AC = 2.5 ft

PQ = 6 ft

Plug in the values into the equation

\frac{7.5}{2.5} = \frac{6}{AB}

Cross multiply

AB*7.5 = 6*2.5

AB*7.5 = 15

Divide both sides by 7.5

AB = 2

The architect should change the length of AB to 2 ft

What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6)-8x= -2+5(2x+1) true
QveST [7]

Answer:

x= −7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute and combine like terms

3(x−6)−8x=−2+5(2x+1)

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+−8x=−2+(5)(2x)+(5)(1)(Distribute)

3x+−18+−8x=−2+10x+5

(3x+−8x)+(−18)=(10x)+(−2+5)(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−18=10x+3

−5x−18=10x+3

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

−5x−18−10x=10x+3−10x

−15x−18=3

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−15x−18+18=3+18

−15x=21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

Hope this helps! :)
