Answer:

313,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent number of years after Beth's 9th birthday.

We have been given that since Beth was born the population of her towns has increased at a rate of 850 people per year. So number of people increased in t years would be 850t.

We are also told that on Beth's 9th birthday the total population was nearly 307,650. This means that t-intercept is 307,650.

The population of town t years after Beth's birthday would be P(t)=850t+307,650.

To find population on Beth's 16th birthday, we will substitute t=7 in our equation as Beth's 16th birthday would be 7 years after 9th birthday.

P(t)=850(7)+307,650

P(7)=5950+307,650

P(7)=313,600

Therefore, the population on Beth's 16th birthday would be 313,600.

We know that
1) Sandra can run a mile in 6 minutes-------> 6*60-----> 360 sec
2) 4 laps around the track equals 1 mile
so
4 laps around the track in 360 sec
1 lap in 360/4--------> 90 sec
3) the position of Sandra for t=90 sec must be equal to the point S (0,56)
I proceed to analyze each case for t=90 sec

case a) x(t)=-140 cos(pi*t/45)    y(t)=112 sin(pi*t/45)
x(t)=-140 cos(pi*90/45)------> -140
y(t)=112 sin(pi*90/45)-------> 0
the position is the point (-140,0)------> is not the point S

case b) x(t)=140 sin(pi*t/90)  y(t)=-112 cos(pi*t/90)

x(t)=140 sin(pi*90/90)------> 0
y(t)=-112 cos(pi*90/90)-------> 112
the position is the point (0,112)------> is not the point S
<span>
case c) x(t)=-70 sin(pi*t/45)  y(t)=56 cos(pi*t/45)
</span>x(t)=-70 sin(pi*90/45)------> 0
y(t)=56 cos(pi*90/45) -------> 56
the position is the point (0,56)------> is equal to the point S----> is the solution

case d) x(t)=70 cos(pi*t/90)  y(t)=-56 sin(pi*t/90)

x(t)=70 cos(pi*90/90)------> -70
y(t)=-56 sin(pi*90/90)-------> 0
the position is the point (-70,0)------> is not the point S

 therefore

the answer is the option C

x(t)=-70 sin(pi*t/45)  y(t)=56 cos(pi*t/45)

Answer:

7.9 ft


Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the side opposite of the right angle, hence the hypotenuse for this triangle is 11 ft.

Side x is adjacent to the angle given. So we need adjacent and we have hypotenuse. Which trigonometric ratio relates adjacent and hypotenuse? It is COSINE.

<em>Thus, we can write:</em>

cos(A)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\cos(44)=\frac{x}{11}

<em>Cross multiplying, we can solve for x:</em>

cos(44)=\frac{x}{11}\\x=cos(44)*11\\x=7.91


Rounding to nearest tenth, we have x=7.9 ft.

Find the surface area of the composite figur
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

By definition of <em>surface</em> area and the <em>area</em> formulae for squares and rectangles, the <em>surface</em> area of the <em>composite</em> figure is equal to 166 square centimeters.

<h3>What is the surface area of a composite figure formed by two right prisms?</h3>

According to the image, we have a <em>composite</em> figure formed by two <em>right</em> prisms. The <em>surface</em> area of this figure is the sum of the areas of its faces, represented by squares and rectangles:

A = 2 · (4 cm) · (5 cm) + 2 · (2 cm) · (4 cm) + (2 cm) · (5 cm) + (3 cm) · (5 cm) + (5 cm)² + 4 · (3 cm) · (5 cm)

A = 166 cm²

By definition of <em>surface</em> area and the <em>area</em> formulae for squares and rectangles, the <em>surface</em> area of the <em>composite</em> figure is equal to 166 square centimeters.
