Since the opening up of the West, the US population has moved westward. To observe this, we look at the “population center” of t

he US, which is the point at which the country would balance if it were a flat plate with no weight, and every person had equal weight. In 1790 the population center was east of Baltimore, Maryland. It has been moving westward ever since, and in 2000 it was in Edgar Springs, Missouri. During the second half of the 20th century, the population center has moved about 50 miles west every 10 years. Let us measure position westward from Edgar Springs along the line running through Baltimore. For the years since 2000, express the approximate position of the population center as a function of time in years from 2000.

Which of the following is true about the system 4/3x−2/5y=2 and 3x−2y=−1?
lilavasa [31]

Equation 1 is \frac{4}{3}x -\frac{2}{5}y =2 ,

Equation 2 is [/tex] 3x-2y = -1 [/tex]

for first equation LCD= 3 *5 = 15 , So we multiply whole equation by 15

\frac{4}{3} *15x -\frac{2}{5}*15 y =2*15

20x - 6y = 30

Now multiply second equation by -3 , to make the coefficient of y equal and opposite , so that we can apply the elimination method

-9x+6y = 3

Add both the equations

20x -9x -6y +6y = 30+3

11x= 33

Divide both sides by 11

x=3

Plug in any one of the equation we get

3(3) -2y = -1

9 - 2y = -1

subtract 9 from both sides

-2y = -10

divide both sides by -2

y=5

So the solution is x= 3 , y= 5

Which means

a. The system is consistent and independent. TRUE

Find the whole quantity if 5 percent of it is 500​
liq [111]

Answer:

10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

500/0.05= 10,000

You take the amount you are given divided by the decimal form of the percentage you are given to find the answer.  It's a reverse from the way you find 5% of 10,000.

0.05=5%

Check your work: 10,000*5%= 500

If 5x - 3y = 1 and x = 2y - 4, then x • y = ?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x = 2,  y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

i) It is given that 5x - 3y =1

ii) It is also given that x = 2y - 4

iii) we can substitute the value of x from ii) in the equation in i) and we will get 5(2y - 4) - 3y = 1   ⇒ 10y - 20 -3y =  1   ⇒  7y = 21  ∴ y = 3

iv) substituting the value of y obtained in ii) we get x = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2.

v) Therefore x = 2.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! 
Delicious77 [7]
Angle θ between two vectors is given by, \theta =cos^{-1}( \frac{u
 \cdot v}{|u||v|} ); where u \cdot 
v=-5(-4)+(-4)(-3)=20+12=32; |u|= \sqrt{ (-5)^{2} + (-4)^{2} } = 
\sqrt{25+16} = \sqrt{41} and |v|=\sqrt{ (-4)^{2} + (-3)^{2} } = 
\sqrt{16+9} = \sqrt{25}=5.
Therefore, \theta =cos^{-1}( \frac{32}{ 5\sqrt{41}} )=cos^{-1}0.9995=1.8^o
