\bf \begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} \stackrel{x}{year}&\stackrel{y}{dolphins}\\ \cline{1-2} &\\ 1950&12000\\ 2018&3600 \\&\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}(\stackrel{x_1}{1950}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12000})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2018}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3600}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3600-12000}{2018-1950}\implies \cfrac{-8400}{68}~~\approx~~ \stackrel{\textit{rate of change}}{-123.53}


-8400/68 simplifies to to -2100/17,  dolphins/year, so 2100 less dolphins every 17 years.

and we can just divide those to get the decimal amount of -123.53, which means, 123.53  less dolphins every year.

of course, there's no such a thing as 0.53 of a dolphin, so, we can say "about" 123 less dolphins per year.

The area of a rectangle is 46 square inches. If the length is 4 times the width, then find the dimensions of the rectangle. Roun
vampirchik [111]

The dimensions of the rectangles to the nearest hundredth are

  • length = 13.56 inches
  • width = 3.39 inches

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

A rectangle is four sided plane figure which each pair of sides equal and opposite to each other. The sides intersect at an angle of 90 degrees.

<u>Given data</u>

Area of the rectangle = 46 square inches

length L = 4 * width W

area of a rectangle, A

A = L * W

46 = L * W

46 = 4w * w

46 = 4w^2

w^2 = 11.5

w = sqrt ( 11.5 )

w = 3.391 inches

w = 3.39 to the nearest hundredth

since L = 4w

L = 4 * 3.391

L = 13.564

L = 13.56 to the nearest hundredth
