Answer:

A. b-9=11

Step-by-step explanation:

I‘m assuming the equation should say b, not 6. She had b blankets, subtracted 9, and was left with 11. b-9=11.

The initial population of a town is 2600, and it grows with a doubling time of 10 years. Determine how long it will take for the

choli [55]

Answer:

It will take the 20 years for the population to quadruple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential population growth:

An exponential model for population growth has the following model:

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

It grows with a doubling time of 10 years.

This means that $P(10) = 2P(0)$ . We use this to find r. So

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^10$

$(1+r)^10 = 2$

$\sqrt[10]{(1+r)^10} = \sqrt[10]{2}$

$1+r = 2^{\frac{1}{10}}$

$1 + r = 1.0718$

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$P(t) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

Determine how long it will take for the population to quadruple.

This is t for which P(t) = 4P(0). So

$P(t) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

$4P(0) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

$(1.0718)^t = 4$

$\log{(1.0718)^t} = \log{4}$

$t\log{1.0718} = \log{4}$

$t = \frac{\log{4}}{\log{1.0718}}$

$t = 20$

It will take the 20 years for the population to quadruple.

HELP!! Algebra help!! Will give stars thank u so much <333

Anna35 [415]

Answers:

Part a) $\bf{\sqrt{x^2+(x^2-3)^2}$
Part b) 3
Part c) 2.24
Part d) 1.58

============================================================

Work Shown:

Part (a)

The origin is the point (0,0) which we'll make the first point, so let (x1,y1) = (0,0)

The other point is of the form (x,y) where y = x^2-3. So the point can be stated as (x2,y2) = (x,y). We'll replace y with x^2-3

We apply the distance formula to say...

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-x)^2+(0-y)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-x)^2+(-y)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\$

We could expand things out and combine like terms, but that's just extra unneeded work in my opinion.

Saying $d = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}$ is the same as writing d = sqrt(x^2-(x^2-3)^2)

-------------------------------------------

Part (b)

Plug in x = 0 and you should find the following

$d(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{0^2 + (0^2-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{(-3)^2}\\\\d(0) = \sqrt{9}\\\\d(0) = 3\\\\$

This says that the point (x,y) = (0,3) is 3 units away from the origin (0,0).

-------------------------------------------

Part (c)

Repeat for x = 1

$d(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + (x^2-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1^2 + (1^2-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + (1-3)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + (-2)^2}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{1 + 4}\\\\d(1) = \sqrt{5}\\\\d(1) \approx 2.23606797749979\\\\d(1) \approx 2.24\\\\$

-------------------------------------------

Part (d)

Graph the d(x) function found back in part (a)

Use the minimum function on your graphing calculator to find the lowest point such that x > 0.

See the diagram below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. Desmos probably has a similar feature (but I'm not entirely sure). If you have a TI83 or TI84, then your calculator has the minimum function feature.

The red point of this diagram is what we're after. That point is approximately (1.58, 1.66)

This means the smallest d can get is d = 1.66 and it happens when x = 1.58 approximately.

Answer:

true.

Explanation:

still negative.

If a negative number is raised to an even power, the result will be positive. If a negative number is raised to an odd power, the result will be negative

Dion went out to lunch. The bill, including tax, was $30. Dion left a tip of $6. What percent of the bill did Dion leave as tip?

Annette [7]

Sorry about my first answer then it would 20% because if you take 30 and divide 20% you'll get 6 so again sorry I was wrong 20 percent though is right.

Find the slope of the line that contains the points (-9, -3) and (-19, -3).

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Slope (m) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use this formula to find the slope⤵⤵⤵

$\frac{y _{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} }$

(Sorry if it's a bit small btw)

Now we plug in the values accordingly:

-3 - (-3) = -3 + 3 = 0

-19 - (-9) = -19 + 9 = -10

Slope = 0/-10

So we have 0/-10, which means our slope is actually just 0.

(This also means that the line on the graph will be horizontal.)

Hope this helps you :)
