The population of raccoons has been increasing in the Bayside area. The equation R(x)= 100(1.2)^x can be

1 answer:

7 0

A) 100 is the initial raccoon population. 1.2 is the rate of growth (growing 20% every month)

b) 100 * (1.2)^6

≈ 298 raccoons

c) 1540 = 100 * (1.2)^x

Divide by 100

15.4 = 1.2^x

x = log(15.4)/log(1.2)

≈ 15 months

The line 6x - 2y = 12 goes through -6 on the y-axis and 2 on the x-axis ie through (0, -6) and (2, 0)
The line will be solid and shaded above (towards the origin)

There are an infinite number of choices for the example points!
Here is my selection.
(0, 0) is in the solution set. 6 x 0 - 2 x 0 = 0 which is less than 12
(5, 0) is not in the solution set. 6 x 5 - 2 x 0 = 30 which is greater than 12
(2, 0) is on the line. 6 x 2 - 2 x 0 = 12

Zane bought a pair of jeans that originally cost $56. He used a coupon for 25% off and paid 8% in sales tax. How much did he pay

sattari [20]

Answer:

$38.64

Step-by-step explanation:

so the equation needed to solve is $56*0.25 and that number is 14. Since it is a coupon you subtract 14 from 56 and end up with 42. Now multiply 0.08*42 and you got your sales tax, $3.36. now subtract that from 42 and you have your answer! Don't forget the dollar sign!

hope this helped! : )

Help finding the area

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The answer is 49 in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is 1/2* perpendicular height * horizontal length.

The horizontal length is 14 in, while the perpendicular height is 7 in.

The area of the triangle is 1/2* 7 in * 14 in = 49 in^2
