If a town starts with population of 63,500 that declines by 700 people each year, construct an equation to model its population

size over time. How long would it take for the population to drop to 53,000?

The equation would be 63500-700x=P, where 63500 is the original population, -700 is the amount the population decreases each year, x is the number of years, and P is the total population.


To answer the second part of the question, plug in 53000 for P and solve for x:

63500-700x=53000

<em>*Subtract 63500 from both sides*</em>

-700x=-10500

<em>*Divide both sides by -700*</em>

x=15


It would take 15 years for the population to drop to 53000.


Hope this helps!!

<h3>Answer: C) none of the equations are identities</h3>

If you plugged theta = 0 into the first equation, then you would have

sin(45) + cos(45) = sin(0) + cos(0)

sqrt(2) = 1

which is a false equation. We don't have an identity here.

The same story happens with the second equation. Plug in theta = 0 and it becomes

cos(60) - sin(60) = cos^2(0) + tan(0)

1/2 - sqrt(3)/2 = 1 + 0

-0.37 = 1

which is false.

In his first year, a math teacher earned $32,000. Each successive year, he
Ivan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each successive year, he

earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms(years).

From the information given,

a = $32,000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 20 years

The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)

T20 = $80862.4

To determine the his total

earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is

S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05

S20 = $1057920

There are 36 ribbons of which 1/5 are yellow, 7/15 are pink and the remaining ribbons are
Kay [80]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x blue ribbons

\therefore \:  \frac{1}{5}  +  \frac{7}{15}  + x = 36 \\   \therefore \:  \frac{1 \times 3}{5 \times 3}  +  \frac{7}{15}  + x = 36 \\ \therefore \:  \frac{3}{15}  +  \frac{7}{15}  + x = 36 \\ \therefore \:  \frac{3 + 7}{15}   + x = 36 \\ \therefore \:  \frac{10}{15}   + x = 36 \\ \therefore \: x = 36 -  \frac{10}{15} \\ \therefore \: x =  \frac{36 \times 15 - 10}{15} \\ \therefore \: x =  \frac{540 - 10}{15} \\ \therefore \: x =  \frac{530}{15} \\ \therefore \: x =  35\frac{5}{15}  \\ \\  \therefore \: x =  35\frac{1}{3} \: are \: blue.  \\
