In 1950 the number of retirees was approximately 150 per thousand people aged 20-64. In 1990 this number rose to approximately 2

00, and it is projected to rise to 275 in 2020. Model N as a piecewise linear function of the time t in years since 1950, and use your model to project the number of retires per thousand people aged 20-64 in 2003. (Round you answer to the nearest integer.)
a. 163 people per thousand
b. 279 people per thousand
c. 302 people per thousand
d. 209 people per thousand
e. 233 people per thousand

Answer: 233 people per thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

Using extrapolation method,

if 150/k in 1950,

  200/k in 1990,

  275/k in 2020,

2003 lies in between 1990 and 2020. So, you extrapolate the values of 200/k and 275/k for the years respectively.

Therefore,  

(2003 - 1990)/(2020 - 2003) = (x - 200)/(275 - x)

Where x is the number of retirees per thousand for 2003

Making x the subject of relation in the above equation.

Cross multiply the equation above;

(2003 - 1990)(275-x) = (2020 - 2003)(x - 200)

13(275 - x) = 17(x-200)

3575 - 13x = 17x - 3400

Collect the like terms

3575+3400 = 17x + 13x

30x = 6975

x = 6975/30

x = 232.5

x = 233 people per thousand to the nearest integer

3. Which of the following quadratic equations has no solution? A) 0 = −2(x − 5)2 + 3 B) 0 = −2(x − 5)(x + 3) C) 0 = 2(x − 5)2 +
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following quadratic equations has no solution?

We have to solve the Quadratic equation for all the options in other to get a positive value as a solution for x.

A) 0 = −2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = -2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (-2x + 10) × 5

0 = -10x + 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5

Option A has a solution of 5

B) 0 = −2(x − 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate them to zero

-2 = 0

= 0

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

Option B has a solution by one of its factors as a positive value of 5

C) 0 = 2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = 2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (2x -10) × 5

0 = 10x -50

-10x = -50

x = -50/-10

x = 5

Option C has a solution of 5

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate to zero

0 = 2

= 0

x + 5 = 0

x = -5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

For option D, all the values of x are 0, or negative values of -5 and -3.

Therefore the Quadratic Equation for option D has no solution.

Connor is stuck in a traffic jam on a single-lane road. The traffic report tells him the traffic jam stretches for 5.5 miles. If
dedylja [7]

Answer:

2323

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the questions above, the report from the traffic jam says the traffics jam stretches for 5.5 miles

As Connor assumes that each car is about 12.5 long

The next step is to convert 5.5 miles into feet.

Since 1 mile = 5280

To convert 5.5 miles, 5.5 x 5280 = 29040 feet  

To find the numbers of cars struck in traffic, we will have to divide 29040 by 12.5

29040/12.5 = 2323.3 ≅ 2323

Ben rolled a number cube numbered one through six. It landed on an odd number 30 times. What is the probability that it lands on
elena55 [62]

Answer:

1 /2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space of number cube : (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Odd numbers on cube : (1, 3, 5) = 3 odd numbers

Since each roll of number cube is independent, the number of times it has landed between fire does not matter :

Therefore, probability of landing on a odd number is :

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P = 3 / 6

P = 1/2
