Answer:

r = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x, y) = (14, 1.4) and the quantities are proportional, the constant of proportionality (r) in ...

y = rx

is ...

r = y/x = 1.4/14 = 0.1

The constant of proportionality is 0.1.

What is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the function y=2x^2+5x-8

jonny [76]

The formula to find the x coordinate is -b/2a. If you plug in the variables

-5/2(2) = -5/4 = -1.25

x = -1.25

Now plug in x into the y equation.

y = -11.125

If the world's population increased exponentially from 5.937 billion in 1998 to 7.238 billion in 2014 and continued to increase

horrorfan [7]

Answer: The world's population in 2015 would have been 7.333 billion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the increase in population is an exponential one. It then follows a geometric progression defined by, $T_{n}$ = $ar^{n - 1}$

Where $T_{n}$ is the nth term, a is the 1st term, r is the common ratio.

Therefore, the population in 1998 is the first term a = 5.937 billion. The population in 2014 corresponds to the 17th term (i.e., n = 17) = 7.238 billion.

Hence, $T_{n}$ = $ar^{n - 1}$

7.238 billion = 5.937 billion × $r^{17 - 1}$

$r^{16}$ = (7.238 billion) ÷ (5.937 billion)

= 1.219

r = $\sqrt[16]{1.219}$

r = 1.0125

To get the population in 2015, which is the 18th term. We use

$T_{n}$ = $ar^{n - 1}$

$T_{18}$ = 5.937 billion × $1.0125^{18 - 1}$

= 5.937 billion × $1.0125^{17}$

= 5.937 billion × 1.235

$T_{18}$ = 7.333 billion

Micah and Joel each have a set of five rational numbers. Although their sets are not the same, their sets of numbers have absolu

pychu [463]

Solution :

Ordering numbers means we have to arrange the numbers in ascending order or in a descending order i.e. from small value to big or from big value to small value.

The order of the positive numbers is same as the order of the absolute values and their order of the negative numbers are opposite to the order of their absolute values.

In the context, if Micah is having numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then the order of the absolute values of the numbers would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Similarly, if Joe is having numbers -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, then the order of their absolute value will be also 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

And if Micah have the numbers -5, -3, -1, 2, 4, then the absolute values of his numbers is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Also if Joe have numbers as -4, -2, 1, 3, 5, then his order of absolute values is also 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
