Answer:
x = 5.6 or you can write like this: x = 5 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you have two angles that measure 45 degrees. Those 2 equal 90 degrees altogether. Since a triangle measures 180 degrees, you take 180-90 because you already have 2 angles and are trying to find the last one. Then this makes the last angle 90 degrees.
The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.
Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get
{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P
n
=284⋅1.04
n
We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.
\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7
We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.
\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P
7
=284⋅1.04
7
≈374
The student population will be about 374 in 2020.
