Answer:

Assume that 1900km^2 is 1900.

If that happens, The equation of that will look like...

1900 - (1900 x 7.75% x 14)%.

1900 x 7.75% are 147.25.

and 147.25 x 14 are 2061.5.

so... there will be no forest after 14 years.(harsh)

Hope it helps!

Alona [7]

Notice the picture below, see the length "l"?

well $\bf Area=l\times w\qquad 
\begin{cases}
l=\frac{11}{4}w\\
Area=180
\end{cases}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus
\\\\
180=\cfrac{11}{4}w\times w$

solve for "w", to find the width,

what's the length? well, l = 11/4 w

The 1997 a value of an object was $5000. In 2012, it was worth $9500. The annual percent growth has been constant. What is the a

Daniel [21]

<h3>Annual percent growth is 4.37 %</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The increasing function is given as:</u></em>

$y = a(1+r)^t$

Where,

y is future value

a is initial value

r is growth rate

t is number of years

From given,

a = 5000

y = 9500

t = 1997 to 2012 = 15 years

r = ?

<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

$9500 = 5000(1+r)^{15}\\\\(1+r)^{15} = 1.9\\\\Take\ \frac{1}{15}th\ power\ on\ both\ sides\\\\1+r = (1.9)^{\frac{1}{15}}\\\\1+r = 1.04367\\\\r = 1.04367 - 1\\\\r = 0.04367\\\\In\ percentage,\\\\r = 0.04367 \times 100 \%\\\\r = 4.367 \% \approx 4.37 \%$

Thus annual percent growth is 4.37 %

How do i find the solution or can you help me find it please

Verizon [17]

remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

we can do a subsitution

y=x+6

y=-7x-10

since y=x+6, we can subsitute x+6 for y in the other equation

y=-7x-10

x+6=-7x-10

add 7x to both sides

8x+6=-10

minus 6 from both sides

8x=-16

divide both sides by 8

x=-16/8=-2

the valu eof x that satisfies both equations is x=-2
