In 2003, the population of an African country was about 15.5 million people, which is 2 million more than 3 times the population

in 1950.
Enter and solve an equation to find the approximate population p (in millions) in 1950.

Answer:

Equation to be solved:      2+3x=15.5

The solution we want is:   4.5 million

The solution for p is:          p=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says:

15.5 million is 2 million more than 3 times the population in 1950.

We can write this as an equation like this:

15.5 million = 2 million       +           3(x million).

Each term contains the factor of million so if we divide both sides by a million the equation can actually be written as:

15.5            =2                    +           3(x)

15.5           =2                     +           3x

So the equation we need to solve is:

15.5=2+3x

We want to isolate 3x. To do this we need to subtract 2 on both sides:

15.5=2+3x

-2    -2

-----------------

13.5=    3x

Divide both sides by 3:

13.5/3 = 3x/3

Simplifying both sides gives:

4.5=x

So 4.5 million is the population in 1950's.

Can someone solve this???
nalin [4]

Answer:

1. a)x² + y² = 29  ------------------(1)      

y² - x² = 23 ----------------(2)

y²  = 23 + x²

Using the value of y² in the first equation:

<em>x²  + y²  = 29</em>

<em>x²  + (23 + x²)  = 29</em>

<em>2x²  = 6</em>

<em>x² = 3</em>

x = √3

Using the value of x in equation (2)

<em>y²  - x²  = 23 </em>

<em>y²  - 3 = 23</em>

<em>y²  = 26 </em>

<u>y = √26</u>            <u>and</u>            <u>x = √3</u>

<u></u>

<u>b)</u> ( 1 - 12x) / 3 < 0   =   1-12x < 0  =  x > 1 / 12

(1-x) / 2 ≤ (3-x) 3  =  3 - 3x ≤ 6 - 2x  =   -3 ≤ x

In these 2 equations, the value of x will be the values of x common to both the inequalities

Since the second equation starts at a much lower value than the first equation, and they are both going up, all the values for the first equation will also stand for the second equation

Hence, the value of x for the given system of equations is

x  > 1/12

2.

3x² - 7x  + 2 ≥ 0

3x² -6x -1x  + 2 ≥ 0       (splitting the middle term)

3x(x - 2) -(x - 2) ≥ 0

(3x - 1)(x-2) ≥ 0

(3x-1) ≥ 0         or     (x-2) ≥ 0

x ≥ 1/3       or    x ≥ 2

Written above are the 2 solutions for the given equation

4.

We are given that Sin α = (2√3) / 3  or 2/√3

According to the pythagorean law:

<em>sin²α + cos²α = 1</em>

<em>4 / 3  + cos²α = 1</em>

<em>cos²α = (3-4)/3</em>

<em>cos²α = -1/3</em>

cos α = √(-1/3)      or    i / √3    since √-1 is also known as i

<em>Cosec α = 1/ Sin α</em>

<em>Cosec α = 1 / (2/√3)</em>

Cosec α = √3 / 2

<em>Sec α = 1 / cos α</em>

<em>Sec α = 1 /  √(-1/3)</em>

<em>Sec α = (√3)  / (√-1)</em>

Since (√-1) is also known as i , we can write this as:

Sec α = (√3)  / i

<em>Tan α = Sin α / Cos α</em>

<em>Tan α = (2√3 / 3) / (i / √3)</em>

<em>Tan α = (2√3 * √3) / 3 * i)</em>

Tan α = 2 / i

<em>Cot α = 1/Tan α</em>

<em>Cot α = 1 / (2 / i)</em>

Cot α = i / 2

The table below represents the total cost of leasing a car at the end of each month. Write an equation in slope-intercept slope
exis [7]

Answer:

y\text{ = 359x + 1500}

Explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation in slope-intercept form

What we need to do is to select two points to use, then apply the two-points form

We have that as:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\text{ = }\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}

We pick any two points as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

We have that as:

(1,1859) and (8,4372)

Substituting the values, we have it that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{4372-1859}{8-1}\text{ = }\frac{y-1859}{x-1} \\  \\ \frac{2513}{7}=\text{ }\frac{y-1859}{x-1} \\  \\ 359\text{ = }\frac{y-1859}{x-1} \\  \\ 359(x-1)\text{ = y-1859} \\ 359x-359\text{ = y-1859} \\ 359x-359+1859\text{ = y} \\ 359x-359+1859\text{ = y} \\ y\text{ = 359x+ 1500} \end{gathered}
