that the population had grown by 5%. What is the current population?

840
10% =84 (840/10)
5% =42 (84/2 or 840/20)
therefore 840+42=882

If there are 840, then you can multiply it by 1.05 to get the answer. This is the same as finding 5% of 840 and then adding that to 840, but this does it in one computation. 840 * 1.05 = 882
The current population would be 882.

1. What is the solution of n² – 49 = 0? (1 point)

Answer:

1. $n=\pm7$

2. $x=\pm7i[tex]3.[tex]\pm 12x =a$

4. 22

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $n^2 - 49 = 0$

$n^2 =49$

$n= \sqrt{49}$

$n=\pm7$

2. $x^2+64 = 0$

$x^2 =-64$

$x= \sqrt{49}$

$x=\pm7i[tex]3. Area of square = [tex]a^{2}$

Where a is the side

We are given an area o square = $144x^{2}$

So, $144x^{2}=a^{2}$

$\sqrt{144x^{2}}=a$

$\pm 12x =a$

4. We are given that the solution of quadratic equation -9 and 9

So, equation becomes:

$(x+9)(x-9)=0$

$x^2- 81=0$

So, in the given equation $x^2 + z = 103$

z should be the number from which if we subtract 103 so we get 81

Substitute z = 22

$x^2 + 22 = 103$

$x^2 + 22 -103=0$

$x^2 -81=0$

Thus the value of z is 22

What is the height of an isosceles trapezoid, if the lengths of its bases are 5m and 11m, and the length of a leg 4m

son4ous [18]

In the isosceles trapezoid ABCD, draw two perpendiculars AM and BL from A and B to the side CD.

Now, LM = BA = 5 m

CD = CL + LM + MD

= CL + 5 + CL (CL = MD)

= 2CL + 5

But, CD = 11

Therefore, 2CL + 5 = 11

2CL = 11 - 5

= 6

CL = 6/2 = 3m

MD = 3m

Now, consider the right triangle AMD.

We have,

$AM^{2} = AD^{2} - MD^{2}$

= $4^{2} - 3^{2}$

= 16 - 9

= 7

Hence, height of the isosceles trapezoid = AM = $\sqrt{7} m$
