Answer:

There were 62 deaths

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of robberies in 2012.

From the question we can identify that the number of robberies were up 50% to 93. What this means is that the number is simply 150% of the old number.

Now, let’s represent the number of deaths in 2012 by x

Mathematically;

150% of x = 93

150/100 * x = 93

150x = 93 * 100

150x = 9300

x = 9300/150

x= 62

This means there were 62 deaths in the year 2012

Answer:

There were 62 robberies in Springfield in 2012.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked (named) robberies in 2012 with x, which is worth 100%

93 robberies in 2013 worth 100% + 50% = 150%

Now we will make proportion

x : 93 = 100 : 150

When we multiply external and internal members we get

x/93 = 100/150

Cross multiply

150 x = 93 × 100

150x = 9300

x = 9300/150

x = 62 robberies in 2012

Find the missing length for the right triangle described below. B = 21 ft, c=27 ft. Find side a. Round to the nearest whole numb
maksim [4K]

Answer:

16.97 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Side B = 21 ft

Side c = 27 ft

As we know, formula for right triangle is as follows,

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2}

So, by putting the value in the formula, we get,

a^{2} = 27^{2} - 21^{2}

a^{2} = 729 - 441

a^{2} = 288

a = 16.97 ft

Hence, the length of the side  for the right triangle is 16.97ft.

The points (0,2) and (1,5) are on a line which of these points is on the same line
katrin [286]

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for two points on a line is generated from the straight line equation y = mx + b ---------------- eqn (i)

where m, the slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)  

therefore for (0,2) and (1,5) m = (5 - 2)/(1 - 0) = 3

This implies that eqn (i) can be rewritten as:

y = 3x + b ------------------- eqn (ii)

pickintg the point (0,2) and substituting into eqn (ii)

2 = 3(0) + b

this implies that b = 2

for confirmation with (1,5)

5 = 3(1) + b

b = 5 - 3 = 2

hence m = 3, b = 2

the equation is y = 3x + 2

Find all values of x (if any) where the tangent line to the graph of the given equation is horizontal. HINT [The tangent line is
Nostrana [21]
By "y = −9x2 − 2x" I assume you meant  <span>y = −9x^2 − 2x (the "^" symbol represents exponentiation).

Let's find the first derivative of y with respect to x:  dy/dx = -18x - 2.  This is equivalent to the slope of the tangent line to the (parabolic) curve.  Now let this derivative (slope) = 0 and solve for the critical value:  -18x - 2 = 0, or
-18x = 2.  Solving for x,   x = -2/18,    or    x = -1/9.

When x = -1/9, y = -9(-1/9)^2 - 2(-1/9).  This simplifies to y = -9/9 + 2/9, or 
y = -7/9.

The only point at which the tangent to the curve is horiz. is (-1/9,-7/9).</span>
