Notice the picture below
now, if the arc "x" is 48°, and the arc across the circle is also 48°, then those chords are congruent, notice the chords in red
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
Answer:
CA ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan40° = 
= 
= 
( multiply both sides by CA )
CA × tan40° = 2.6 ( divide both sides by tan40° )
CA = 
≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A <u>postulate</u> is accepted to be true without proof, while a <u>theorem </u>is an assertion that can be proven using the rules of logic.
Explanation:
In mathematics, a postulate is a statement that is considered to be true without looking for any proof of that statement. Other hypotheses or statements can be tested using a postulate as a standard. A postulate is not only significant in mathematics but also plays an important role in understanding the concept of physics.
A theorem can be described as a statement that can be proved right by using logical pieces of evidence.
