Answer:

25% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change can be found by doing difference/original

(950,000 - 712,500) / 950,000

= 0.25

There was a 25% decrease in the population

You are the administrator of an annual essay contest scholarship fund. This year a $90,000 college scholarship is being divided

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Runner-up: $15,000

Winner: $75,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create an equation for this problem.

Let x=the amount the runner-up receives

Let 5x=the amount the winner receives

Then,

x+5x=90,000

6x=90,000

x=15,000

5x=75,000

The plot below shows the graphs of three functions, f, g, and h, all of which determine the population of three different cities

So, here we have an exponential function.

Remember that an exponential function has the form:

$y=a(b)^x=a(1\pm\frac{r}{100})^x$

Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).

So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that

$\begin{gathered} a=40 \\ b=1+\frac{13}{100}=1.13 \end{gathered}$

So,

$f(x)=40(1.13)^x$

For city B:

$\begin{gathered} a=40 \\ b=1+\frac{16}{100}=1.16 \\ g(x)=40(1.16)^x \end{gathered}$

But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.

So,

$h(x)=40+10x$

Put this into Slope Intercept Form<br> x + 6y = –6

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{x}{6} -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following equation:
x+6y=-6

And we want to convert it into slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is known as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The equation is currently in standard form, which is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are integer coefficients

Notice how in standard form, both the terms that contain x and y are on one side, but in slope-intercept form, y is by itself on one side

So essentially, in order to convert from standard form to slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y

Here is our equation again:

x+6y=-6

Start by subtracting x from both sides

x+6y=-6

-x -x

_______________

6y=-x-6

Now divide both sides by 6

$y=-\frac{x}{6} -\frac{6}{6}$
We can simplify the fractions to become:

$y=-\frac{x}{6} -1$
Hope this helps!
