Answer:

In these situations, the median is generally considered to be the best representative of the central location of the data. The more skewed the distribution, the greater the difference between the median and mean, and the greater emphasis should be placed on using the median as opposed to the mean.

The equation of line L is y=5x+1

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

L₁ is y = 5x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

L₂ is 2y - 10x + 3 = 0 ( subtract - 10x + 3 from both sides )

2y = 10x - 3 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = 5x - $\frac{3}{2}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Since L₁ and L₂ have equal slopes then they are parallel lines

A huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 454545 square kilometers. Because of changing weather patterns,

guajiro [1.7K]

We have been given that a huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 45 square kilo-meters. The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilo-meters, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation $A=45e^{-0.05t}$ .

To find the time it will take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters, we will equate $A=15$ and solve for t as:

$15=45e^{-0.05t}$

$\frac{15}{45}=\frac{45e^{-0.05t}}{45}$

$\frac{1}{3}=e^{-0.05t}$

Now we will switch sides:

$e^{-0.05t}=\frac{1}{3}$

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

$\text{ln}(e^{-0.05t})=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

Using natural log property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$-0.05t\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$-0.05t\cdot (1)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$-0.05t=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})}{-0.05}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-0.05\cdot 100}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-5}$

$t=-\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 20$

$t=-(\text{ln}(1)-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20$

$t=-(0-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20$

$t=20\text{ln}(3)$

Therefore, it will take $20\text{ln}(3)$ years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.
