Answer:

15 1-point and 38 2-point shots

Step-by-step explanation:

x: 1 point shots

y: 2 point shots

x + y = 53 (1)

1(x) + 2(y) = 91 (2)

From (1), x = 53 - y

In (2),

(53 - y) + 2y = 91

53 + y = 91

y = 91 - 53 = 38

x = 53 - 38 = 15

Find the slope of the line.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the line goes through the origin, so we have point (0,0). next, find another point the line goes through. for example, point (2,4)

the slope formula for points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). plug in the 2 points to get (4-0)/(2-0) = 4/2 = 2

Tacoma's population in 2000 was about 200 thousand, and had been growing by about 9% each year. a. Write a recursive formula for
KIM [24]

Answer:

a) The recurrence formula is P_n = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-1}.

b) The general formula for the population of Tacoma is

P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^nP_{0}.

c) In 2016 the approximate population of Tacoma will be 794062 people.

d) The population of Tacoma should exceed the 400000 people by the year 2009.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have the population in the year 2000, which is 200 000 people. Let us write P_0 = 200 000. For the population in 2001 we will use P_1, for the population in 2002 we will use P_2, and so on.

In the following year, 2001, the population grow 9% with respect to the previous year. This means that P_0 is equal to P_1 plus 9% of the population of 2000. Notice that this can be written as

P_1 = P_0 + (9/100)*P_0 = \left(1-\frac{9}{100}\right)P_0 = \frac{109}{100}P_0.

In 2002, we will have the population of 2001, P_1, plus the 9% of P_1. This is

P_2 = P_1 + (9/100)*P_1 = \left(1-\frac{9}{100}\right)P_1 = \frac{109}{100}P_1.

So, it is not difficult to notice that the general recurrence is

P_n = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-1}.

b) In the previous formula we only need to substitute the expression for P_{n-1}:

P_{n-1} = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-2}.

Then,

P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^2P_{n-2}.

Repeating the procedure for P_{n-3} we get

P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^3P_{n-3}.

But we can do the same operation n times, so

P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^nP_{0}.

c) Recall the notation we have used:

P_{0} for 2000, P_{1} for 2001, P_{2} for 2002, and so on. Then, 2016 is P_{16}. So, in order to obtain the approximate population of Tacoma in 2016 is

P_{16} = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^{16}P_{0} = (1.09)^{16}P_0 = 3.97\cdot 200000 \approx 794062

d) In this case we want to know when P_n>400000, which is equivalent to

(1.09)^{n}P_0>400000.

Substituting the value of P_0, we get

(1.09)^{n}200000>400000.

Simplifying the expression:

(1.09)^{n}>2.

So, we need to find the value of n such that the above inequality holds.

The easiest way to do this is take logarithm in both hands. Then,

n\ln(1.09)>\ln 2.

So, n>\frac{\ln 2}{\ln(1.09)} = 8.04323172693.

So, the population of Tacoma should exceed the 400 000 by the year 2009.
