Let, the number of students who applied for school = x
Then, it would be: x * 15% = 1800
x * 0.15 = 1800
x = 1800 / 0.15
x = 12,000

In short, Your Answer would be 12,000 students applied for that

Hope this helps!

What is 2x-3=4(x-5)? And also what is 2x squared=50?
Ierofanga [76]
2x - 3 = 4(x - 5)
2x - 3 = 4x - 20
4x - 2x = 20 - 3
2x = 17
x = 8 1/2

2x² = 50
x² = 25
x = \pm√25
x = \pm5

The varsity basketball team started selling T-shirts online in 1994. The number of T-shirts sold online, s, is modeled by the gr
-Dominant- [34]

(PART-A): s-intercept in this case represents the y-intercept of the graph, whereas the t-intercept in this case represents the x-intercept of the graph.

Always remember that y-intercept represents the value of y where the curve (or line) crosses the y-axis, and x-intercept represents the value of x where the curve (or line) crosses the x-axis.

In the graph attached with the question, at point (0,6) the curve crosses the y-axis. Therefore, the <em>y-intercept (s-intercept) in this case is 6</em>. It means that in year 2000 (t=0), 6 hundred shirts were sold.

However, there is no point on the graph where the curve crosses the x-axis, meaning there is <em>no x-intercept (t-intercept)</em>. It means that there is <em>not</em> a single year when the number of shirts sold is 0.


(PART B): As you can see in the graph (attached with the question) that the <em>f(t)</em> is increasing (exponentially) with the increase in <em>t. </em>Therefore, we can safely say that as t increases without bound, the f(t) increases (also). In this context, it means that the sale of shirts increases as the years go by. Hence, the correct blank is "increases."


(PART C): The average rate of change is actually the slope. To find the slope, we can use the following formula:

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} --- (X)

Given points: (5, 12.5) and (7, 22). Plug the values in equation (X),

slope = \frac{22-12.5}{7-5} = 4.75

Hence, the average rate of change for the function between t=5 and t=7 is 4.75 (answer).


(PART D): This part is bit tricky. Therefore, read the explanation carefully!

You can see in the graph that number of Shirts sold is in <em>hundreds. </em>It means that 1 unit (of y-axis in a graph) represents 100 shirts. Therefore, as in the question it is mentioned that there are 1000 T-shirts sold, it will become 10 units (since 10*100 = 1000). So, the function g(t) will become the following:

g(t) = f(t) + 10 --- (Y)

Why did I add f(t)? Because in the question, the word "<em>and</em>" is underlined. It means that g(t) represents not only 1000 T-shirts (10*100 = 1000) sold at the basketball games each year, but it also has the number of T-shirts sold ONLINE, which is f(t).

Now insert f(t) in (Y) and solve:

g(t) = f(t) + 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 5+ 10\\g(t) = (1.5)^t + 15

Hence, g(t) is (1.5)^t + 15

You are standing 60 feet from the base of a 20-foot tall flagpole. What is 1
Rasek [7]

Answer: The angle of elevation is 18.4 degrees (Approximately)

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for more details.

The pole from top to  bottom is 20 feet tall and is depicted as line FB. An observer is standing at a distance of 20 feet from the base of the pole, and that is depicted as line BA. The observer who is at point A looks up to the top of the flagpole at an angle of elevation shown as angle A.

Using angle A as the reference angle, line FB which is 20 feet would be the opposite (facing the reference angle), while line BA which is 60 feet would be the adjacent (that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).

Therefore, to calculate angle A;

Tan A = Opposite/Adjacent

Tan A = 20/60

Tan A = 1/3

Tan A = 0.3333

Checking with your calculator or table of values,

A = 18.4349°

Rounded to the nearest tenth,

A ≈ 18.4°

Pythagorean Theorem with Known Legs
stepan [7]

you're given the pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

what you're trying to find is ?, which is the number under the radical.

let's pretend one leg is a and the other is b.

a = 9

b = 10

so let's plug it into the equation. we get 9^2 + 10^2 = c^2

so that equals 81 + 100 = c^2

181 = c^2

so c will equal the square root of 181. therefore, ? = 181.

hope i helped! good luck.
