There are two functions that can be used to describe the percent of people 25 years and older who have completed at least high s

chool. For both functions f(x)=0.44x + 87.5 and g(x)=0.008x^2 + 0.42x + 87.5 is the number of years since 2008, and any y (or f(x) or g(x)) is the percent of people 25 and older completing at least high school. Assume that the trend of g(x) continues. Find g(15) and describe in words what this means.

Answer:

g(15)=93.8\%

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of years since 2008,

g(x) ----> the percent of people 25 years and older who have completed at least high school

we know that

g(x)=0.008x^2+0.42x+87.5

so

For x=15 years since 2008

substitute

g(15)=0.008(15)^2+0.42(15)+87.5=93.8\%

That means

In the year 2023 (2008+15) the percent of people 25 and older completing at least high school will be 93.8%

What is the equation of this trend line?
solmaris [256]

Equation of this line is K = -2J + 28

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

The equation can be written in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

Step 2:

Calculate slope of the line, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

⇒ m = (24 - 20)/(2 - 4) = 4/-2) = -2

Step 3:

Find y-intercept of the line

⇒ b = 28

Step 4:

Substitute values in the equation

⇒ K = -2J + 28

Marta recorded the temperature at 8 p.m. as 56°F and the temperature at 8 a.m. the next morning as 36°F. Marta assumed the tempe
Ksju [112]
1. Calculate how many hours passed between her temperature checks. 8 p.m to 8 a.m. is 12 hours.

2. Calculate the total change in temperature. 36 - 54 is -18, so the temperature went down by 18 degrees.

3. We are looking for degrees per hour, so we put derees(18) over hours (12) to get 18/12.

4. Calculate by dividing. The answer is 1.5 degrees per hour.

Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi dwarf lemon tree. A full size lemon tree grew three times as much as
Nadusha1986 [10]
Using a simple guess and check method, i started with the lowest common multiple of 3, and 27 (the total growth) and used 3. if you plug i the numbers, we will say a is the dwarf lemon tree, b is the semi-dwarf lemon tree, and c is the full lemon tree, you know 3times2 equals 6. if you triple 6 you get 18. so if A grew 3 inches , B had to have grown 6 inches, and C had to have grown 18 inches. add them all and you get 27. so the dwarf lemon tree grew 3 inches, semi dwarf grew 6 inches, the full size grew 18 inches.
