What is the height of an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 15? round to tenths?

1 answer:

8 0

If this is an equilateral triangle, we need half of it to find the height which is a leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 15. That means that the base of this half triangle is 7.5. Use Pythagorean's Theorem to fine the height. $x^{2} =(15) ^{2} -(7.5) ^{2}$ . x = 12.99 or 13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of points in the 2nd row does not represent a function, because the x-coordinate 2 is associated with more than one y-coordinate.

Functions are one-to-one: For each x value there is one y value associated.

A city starts with a population of 500,000 people in 2007. Its population declines according to the equation

hjlf

Answer: After 7 years the population will be one-half the initial amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Initial population = 500,000

The population declines according to the equation:

$P(t) = 500,000e^{ -0.099t}$ , where P is the population in t years later.

One-half the initial amount = 0.5 x 500,000

= 250,000

Put P(t)=250,000, we get

$250000=500000e^{-0.099t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \frac{500000e^{-0.099t}}{500000}=\frac{250000}{500000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ e^{-0.099t}=\frac12\\\\\Rightarrow\ -0.099t=\ln \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\frac{1000\ln \left(2\right)}{99}=\frac{1000(0.69314)}{99}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=7.00148\approx7$

Hence, After 7 years the population will be one-half the initial amount.
