Answer:

A(t)=(0.902)^t \cdot 1500 [km^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, the initial area of the  forest at time t = 0 is

A_0 = 1500 km^2

After every year, the area of the forest decreases by 9.8%: this means that the area of the forest every year is (100%-9.8%=90.2%) of the area of the previous year.

So for instance, after 1 year, the area is

A_1 = A_0 \cdot \frac{90.2}{100}=0.902 A_0

After 2 years,

A_2=0.902 A_1 = 0.902(0.902A_0)=(0.902)^2 A_0

And so on. So, after t years, the area of the forest will be

A(t)=(0.902)^t A_0

And by substituting the value of A0, we can find an explicit expression:

A(t)=(0.902)^t \cdot 1500 [km^2]

Given the equation -5x+2y=-10 what is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line?
meriva

Answer:

The equation of the perpendicular line would be y = -2/5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this line, we must first find the slope of the original line. We do this by solving for y.

-5x + 2y = -10

2y = 5x - 10

y = 5/2x - 5

This shows us a slope of 5/2. TO find the perpendicular slope, we use the opposite and reciprocal. This means we negative 5/2 to get -5/2 and then we flip it to get -2/5. Now that we have this, we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = -2/5(x + 5)

y - 1 = -2/5x - 2

y = -2/5x - 1

Answer:

A. 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+8 27

L-------------M-------------------------N

<------------------ 6x -------------------->

LM = 4x+8

MN = 27

LN = 6x

LM + MN = LN

4x+8 + 27 = 6x

35 = 2x

17.5 = x

Help Please.Use complete sentences to explain the steps required in converting 180 degrees to its equivalent radian measure. Inc
Phoenix [80]
To convert 180 degrees to its equivalent radian measure, multiply it with π/180.
180 (π/180)
The result is π radians.
This is also how the other angles in degrees are converted to radians. Simply multiply with π/180 and express the result in terms of pi.<span />
