Since the "leading" runner in a race would be found in the first position, because he or she is in the lead, it means they are first, then I suppose I would find the "leading coefficient" in the first place in a polynomial as well.

For the straight line defined by the points ( 3 , 51 ) (3,51) and ( 5 , 87 ) (5,87) , determine the slope ( m m ) and y-intercep

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Intercept = - 3 ; slope = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points :

(3, 51) ; (5, 87)

x1 =3, y1 = 51, x2 = 5 ; y2 = 87

Slope intercept relation:

y = mx + c

m = slope ; c = intercept ; x and y are x, y vlayes respectively

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope (m) = (87 - 51) / (5 - 3)

Slope = 36 / 2

Slope (m) = 18

The intercept c :

m = 18 ; x = 5 ; y = 87

Substitute values into the slope intercept formula :

87 = 18(5) + c

87 = 90 + c

c = 87 - 90

c = - 3

Intercept = - 3

A study of the annual population of gray squirrels in a Texas state park shows the population, S(t), can be represented by the f

Anastasy [175]

The growth rate of the given function is A) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; To calculate the rate we need to see the difference between values at different periods of time. We need to calculate the population at different times.

For t = 1 years, S(t) = 273(1.073)t = 273 × 1.073 × 1 = 292.929,

For t = 2 years, S(t) = 273(1.073)t = 273 × 1.073 × 2 = 585.858,

For t = 2 years, S(t) = 273(1.073)t = 273 × 1.073 × 1 = 878.787.

Step 2; To calculate the growth rate, we divide the difference in the values of the present year and the past year by the value in the past year.

Growth rate between t = 1 and t = 2, Growth rate = S(t=2) - S(t=1) / S(t=1)

= 585.858 - 292.929 / 292.929 = 1.

Growth rate between t = 2 and t = 3, Growth rate = S(t=3) - S(t=2) / S(t=2)

= 878.787 - 585.858 / 585.858 = 1.

So the growth rate is A) 1.
