Solution: We are given:

On an average, one person in United states throws away 4.5 \times 10^{2} g/day

In 2013, the population in United states =3.2 \times 10^{6}

So in 2013, 4.5 \times 10^{2} \times 3.2 \times 10^{6}=1.44 \times 10^{9} g/day of trash was thrown away.

In 2013, the number of days = 365

Therefore, in 2013 the amount of trash thrown away is:

1.44 \times 10^{9} \times 365=5.26 \times 10^{11}=5.3 \times 10^{11} g

Point G (6,-3) is translated 5 units to the left and 6 units up to form the point g. What are the coordinates of g prime
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point is translated to the left it must be subtracted from the original coordinates because the left is getting closer to the negative side of the graph. If it is being translated up that number should be added, so (6-5,-3+6) which is (1,3).
