-5x+13y=-7
5x+4y=24
add the equation to eliminate x:
13y+4y=-7+24
17y=17
solve for y:
17/17y=17/17
y=1
then plug in y into any equation to solve for x:
-5x+13y=-7, y=1
-5x+(13*1)=-7
-5x+13-13=-7-13
-5x=-20
-5/-5x=-20/-5
x=4
the answers are x=4, y=1

The rate of change (dP/dt), of the number of people on an ocean beach is modeled by a logistic differential equation. The maximu

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2.4P(1 - \frac{P}{1200})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic differential equation is as follows:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})$

In this problem, we have that:

$K = 1200$ , which is the carring capacity of the population, that is, the maximum number of people allowed on the beach.

At 10 A.M., the number of people on the beach is 200 and is increasing at the rate of 400 per hour.

This means that $\frac{dP}{dt} = 400$ when $P = 200$ . With this, we can find r, that is, the growth rate,

$\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})$

$400 = 200r(1 - \frac{200}{1200})$

$166.67r = 400$

$r = 2.4$

So the differential equation is:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})$

$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2.4P(1 - \frac{P}{1200})$

Which of the following points are more than 5 units from the point P(−2, −2)? Select all that apply. A A (2, 1) B B (4, −1) C C

netineya [11]

The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:<span>

<span> $|PQ|= \sqrt{ (a-c)^{2} + (b-d)^{2}}$ </span></span>

Using this formula we calculate the distances |PA|, |PB|, |PC|, |PD| and |PE| and compare to 5.

$|PA|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+9}= \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PB|= \sqrt{ (-2-4)^{2} + (-2+1)^{2}}= \sqrt{36+1}= \sqrt{37} \approx 6$

$|PC|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2+3)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+1}= \sqrt{17}\approx4$

$|PD|= \sqrt{ (-2+6)^{2} + (-2+6)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+16}= \sqrt{32}\ \textgreater \ \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PE|= \sqrt{ (-2+5)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+9}= \sqrt{16}=4$

In the triangle shown, what is the value of the missing angle?

Contact [7]

Because angles in a triangle add up to 180, you can add up the given angles and then take that answer away from 180, so:
65 + 74 = 139
180 - 139 = 41°
So your answer is 41°, I hope this helps!
