A small rural town has experienced a population decrease at a rate of 25 people every 5 years since 1970. If the population of t

he town in 1970 was 250, which of the following equations represents the town’s population as a function of time? (Assume 1970 is represented by x = 0, 1971 is represented by x = 1, and so on).

Population decreases at the rate of 25 people every 5 years

slope of a line = difference in y / difference in x (or rise / run) = -25 / 5
slope m = -5

when x = 0 (that is the year 1970 ), the population is 250
x = 0 represents the y -intercept

So which answer choice has slope = -5 and y-intercept =250?


OR IF THAT WAS HARD TO UNDERSTAND

The initial population is 250
It decreases at a rate of 5 people per year

After year one, it will be 250 - 1(5)
After year two, it will be 250 - 2(5)
After year three, it will be 250 - 3(5)

After year x, it will be 250 - x(5)

The function is y = -5x + 250

What is the common ratio in the sequence 6,12,24,48,96<br> A -2<br> B 2<br> C 6<br> D 1/2
anyanavicka [17]

The ratio is that of one term to the one before:

... 12/6 = 2

It is "common" because it applies to every pair of adjacent terms:

... 24/12 = 48/24 = 96/48 = 2

The appropriate choice is ...

... B 2

Write an equation for the following tile pattern.<br><br> Figure 2<br><br> Figure 3<br><br> Figure 4
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The general equation following the pattern becomes is 7 + (n - 1)×2

Where, n = The figure number - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The pattern in the question can be described as follows;

Figure 2 = (5 + 2) squares boxes = 7 squares boxes

Figure 3 = (5 + 2 + 2) squares boxes

Figure 4 = (5 + 2 + 2 + 2) squares boxes

Therefore, the number of squares boxes per figure, form an arithmetic progression (a + (n - 1)d) with the first term a = 7, the common difference d = 2, and the n = the nth term of the series, such that the general equation following the pattern becomes;

7 + (n - 1)×2.
