The population density, D, in people/square mile (p/mi²), for the large city Westport is related to the distance x (in miles) fr

om the city’s center by the equation:________.
D=4300x /x^2 + 40.
a. Describe what happens to West-port's population density as the distance from the city’s center changes from one mile to six miles. What may explain this phenomenon?
b. Describe what happens to West-port's population density as the distance from the city’s center changes from ten miles to thirty miles.
c. Describe the end-behavior of this function? What may explain this phenomenon?
d. In what areas of the city is the population density below 200 p/mi²?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  D=4300x /x² + 40.

x = 1

D = 4300 / 41 = 104.88 p / mi²

x = 6

D = 25800 / 76

= 339.47  p / mi²

Population density increases as we go away from city's centre .

b )

x = 10

D=4300x /x² + 40.

D = 307.14 p/ mi²

x = 30

D = 137.23 p / mi²

Population decreases .

c )

when x is very high , density will decrease due to squared denominator whose value increases very fast .

d )

D < 200

4300x /x² + 40 < 200

4300 x < 200 x² + 8000

43 x < 2 x² + 80

2 x² - 43 x + 80 > 0

( x - 19.44 ) ( x - 2.05 ) > 0

Range x <  2.05

x > 19.44

Simplify: 2x + 9 - 17x - 15 -x​
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 9 - 17x - 15 - x =????

2x - 17x - x + 9 - 15 = 0

- 15x - x - 16 = 0

- 16x - 16 =0

-16x = 16

x = 16 / - 16

x = 1

50 POINTS - A Builder intends placing 7 equally spaced homes on a semicircular plot. If the circle has a diameter of 400 feet, w
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:  89.7 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Find the arc length (s) of the semi-circle.  Then divide that length by 7.

s = r · θ      where r is the radius and θ is the angle in radians

s = (400 ÷ 2) · π        <em>(radius is diameter divided by 2)</em>

  = 200π

  = 628.3

The length of the arc is 628.3 ft.  Divide that by 7 to find the distance between each home.

628.3 ÷ 7 = 89.7

Help me solve (b) in this quadrilateral
Savatey [412]

Answer:

b = 87°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question, we need to utilise an important angle fact which is <em>angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360° </em>

Using the information we can set up an equation to find the value of b

→ Form equation

63 + 140 + 70 + b = 360

→ Simplify

273 + b = 360

→ Minus 273 from both sides isolate b

b = 87°
