Answer: Linear

It is linear because you can subtract 1 from both sides to get y = 5x-1

That equation is in the form y = mx+b

m = 5 is the slope

b = -1 is the y intercept

igomit [66]

Answer:

B) The population is increasing by 102.2% each year.

A) 720,500 represents the initial amount of people in January 1980 and 1.022 represents the increase factor that multiplies to the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.022 times 100 equals 102.2% (a number in the decimals place times 100 give you the percent).

A ladder 10 m long,leans against a vertical wall at an angle of 70° to the ground.if the ladder slips down the wall 4m,find,corr

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

(a) the new angle the ladder makes with the ground is $32.7^o$

(b) the ladder slipped back about 5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the ladder doesn't change its length in the process.

So let's start from the initial situation , finding the distance from the ground at which the ladder touches the wall when the angle with the ground is 70^o. Notice that this situation is represented by a right angle triangle with the right angle between the wall and the ground (see attached image), and that we can use the sine function to find the side opposite to the 70 degree angle:

$sin(70^o)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\sin(70^o)=\frac{h}{10}\\h=10\, sin(70^o) \approx 9.4 \,\,m$

therefore 9.4 meters is approximately the height at which the ladder touches the wall initially.

Now, if the tip of the ladder goes down the wall 4 meters, it is now at 9.4 m - 4 m = 5.4 m from the ground. We can therefore use again the sine function to solve for the new angle:

$sin(x)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\sin(x)=\frac{5.4}{10} \\sin(x)=0.54\\x=arcsin(0.54)\\x= 32.7^o$

To answer the second question we need to find the original distance from the wall that the bottom of the ladder was originally, and for that we can use the cosine function:

$cos(70^o)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\cos(70^o)=\frac{x}{10}\\x=10\,cos(70^o)\\x\approx 3.4 \,\,m$
