In a given year, the population of Metro City is 7420, and the population is decreasing by 152 people per year. The population o

f Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City. Determine how long it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282.
Which answer provides the correct equation and solution for the situation, where x represents the number of years?


A. The equation is 2282=2(7420−152x)+1200. It will take 45.26 years for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

B. The equation is 2282=2(7420−152x)+1200. It will take 45.26 months for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

C.The equation is 2282=12(7420−152x)−1200. It will take 3 months for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

D. The equation is 2282=12(7420−152x)−1200. It will take 3 years for the population of Smallville to be 2282 people.

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>x</em> denote the years.

The information provided is:

  • The population of Metro City is 7420.
  • The population is decreasing by 152 people per year.
  • The population of Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City.

From the provided data derive the equation for the population of Smallville <em>x</em> years after as follows:

Y = [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

The population of Smallville is 2282 after <em>x</em> years.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

2282= [\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7420-152x)]-1200

\frac{7420-152x}{2}=2282+1200\\\\7420-152x=3482\times 2\\\\152x=7420-6964\\\\152x=456\\\\x=3

Thus, the time it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282 is 3 years.

The correct option is D.

Help plzzzzz help me

Answer: 10 < x < 60, or x is from 10 to 60

Step-by-step explanation: A domain of a graph consists of all of the input values shown on the x-axis while the range consists of all of the output values shown on the y-axis. Since the question asks to find the domain, you should look at the values of the graph from left to right. The domain includes all real numbers. Notice the black horizontal line on the graph and match up the beginning of it and the end of it with the values on the x-axis. The line begins at an x-value of 10 and ends at an x-value of 60; therefore, the domain (x-values) is from 10 to 60.

Point T is at (-3, 8). What are the coordinates of T' after R(y-axis) o R(x-axis)?
Whitepunk [10]

Given:

Point is T(-3,8).

To find:

The coordinates of T' after R(y-axis)\circ R(x-axis).

Solution:

We know that, R(y-axis)\circ R(x-axis) means the figure reflected across the x-axis then reflected across y-axis.

If a figure reflected across x-axis, then

(x,y)\to (x,-y)

T(-3,8)\to T_1(-3,-8)

If a figure reflected across y-axis, then

(x,y)\to (-x,y)

T_1(-3,-8)\to T'(-(-3),-8)

T_1(-3,-8)\to T'(3,-8)

Therefore, the required point is T'(3,-8).
