Answer:

<em />f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000<em />

f(15) = 62826

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

In 1990; Income= $39000

In 2010; Income= $70768

Solving (a): An equation in form of f(x) = ax + b

First, we need to determine the slope, a

a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Taking y as income and x as year index.

When x = 0; y = 39000

When x = 20; y = 70768

Substitute these values in the above formula

a = \frac{70768 - 39000}{20 - 0}

a = \frac{31768}{20}

a = 1588.4

Next, is to determine the formula using:

y - y_1 = a(x - x_1)

<em>Considering :When x = 0; y = 39000, we have</em>

<em />y - 39000 = 1588.4(x - 0)<em />

<em />y - 39000 = 1588.4x<em />

<em>Make y the subject of formula</em>

<em />y = 1588.4x + 39000<em />

<em />

<em>Express y as a function of x</em>

<em />f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000<em />

Solving (b): Income in 2005

<em>In 2005, x = 15</em>

So:

f(x) = 1588.4x + 39000 becomes

f(15) = 1588.4 * 15 + 39000

f(15) = 62826

Answer:

The answer to your question is VW = 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

angle = 63°

hypotenuse = ?

adjacent side = 1

Process

To solve this problem use trigonometric functions, the trigonometric function that relates the adjacent side and the hypotenuse is cosine.

        cos α = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse}

solve for hypotenuse

        hypotenuse = \frac{adjacent side}{cos \alpha}

Substitution

        hypotenuse = \frac{1}{cos 63}

Simplification

         hypotenuse = \frac{1}{0.45}

Result

         hypotenuse = 2.2

Which expression is equal to 4 (2+3) ?<br><br><br> 1. 2+12<br> 2. 4+5<br> 3. 8+3<br> 4. 8+12
allsm [11]
4. 8+12=20

4 (2+3)
First you add 2+3 and get 5
Next, since the 5 is now in the parentheses, it indicates that you have to multiply
Finally, 5 times 4=20
