Answer:

By solving the equation \frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6) we found that   x=\frac{23}{2} \text { or }=11 \frac{1}{2}

<u>Explanation:  </u>

Given equation,

\frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6) to find x  

Step: 1 Cross multiply the denominators 2(x-5)=6(x+6)  

Step: 2 Open brackets and simplify the term 2x-10=6x+36  

Step: 3 Bring x terms on one side and simplify the equation the equation obtained is following,  

2x-6x=36+10

 -4x=46  

-x=\frac{46}{4}=\frac{23}{2}=11 \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, we solved x value from the given equation \frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6) as x=\frac{23}{2} \text { or }=11 \frac{1}{2}.

1. )The function f(x)=12,500(0.87)^x models the value of a car x years after it is purchased.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
1] Given that the value of x has been modeled by f(x)=12500(0.87)^x, then:
the rate of change between years 1 and 5 will be:
rate of change is given by:
[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
thus:
f(1)=12500(0.87)^1=10875
f(5)=12500(0.87)^5=6230.3
rate of change will be:
(6230.3-10875)/(5-1)
=-1161.2
 rate of change in years 11 to 15 will be:
f(11)=12500(0.87)^11=2701.6
f(15)=12500(0.87)^15=1,547.74
thus the rate of change will be:
(1547.74-2701.6)/(15-11)
=-288
dividing the two rates of change we get:
-288/-1161.2
-=1/4
comparing the two rate of change we conclude that:
The average rate of change between years 11 and 15  is about 1/4  the rate between years 1 and 5.
The answer is D]
2] Given that the population of beavers decreases exponentially at the rate of 7.5% per year, the monthly rate will be:
monthly rate=(n/12)
where n is the number of months
=7.5/12
=0.625
This is approximately equal to 0.65%. The correct answer is A. 0.65%

Identify the postulate that proves the triangles are congruent.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABD is congruent to triangle BDC by ASA because angle B in ABD  is 30 degrees. Then they give you BD which equals BD by the reflexive property. And finally angle D in ABD is also 30 degrees. In triangle BCD, angle B is 30 degrees, BD = BD, and angle D in BCD is 30 degress. So we have an angle (B), side (BD), and another angle (D)

What is the surface area of the square pyramid represented by the net below?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

64 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Square: 4*4 = 16

Triangles: 4((4*6)/2))

       = 4(24/2)

       = 4(12)

       = 48

Add the square and triangles together

       = 16 + 48

       = 64

The total will be 64 cm^2
