Answer:

There were 186 Springfield robberies in 2011

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about what happens when you double a number.

You multiply it by 2. Since it's been doubles, we say is has had a 100% increase.

Likewise a 50% increase correlates to multiply by 1.5

Since we are trying to find the previous amount that experienced the increase, we divide by 1.5 to find the original amount because that amount*1.5 gives us 279.

Calling the original <em>r</em>, it is clear that 1.5<em>r</em>=279.

Solving for <em>r, </em>we find the original # of robberies to be 186.

Answer:

  (a) -2.3°/min

  (b) -2.9°/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is the ratio of the difference in R values to the difference in the corresponding t values.

(a) m = (157.6 -226.6)/(30 -0) = -69/30 = -2.3 . . . degrees per minute

__

(b) m = (61.6 -119.6)/(70 -50) = -58/20 = -2.9 . . . degrees per minute

Basic Power Rule

  • f(x) = cxⁿ
  • f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

y = ∛x

x = 27

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

  1. [Function] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]:                               \displaystyle y = x^{\frac{1}{3}}
  2. Basic Power Rule:                                                                                         \displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{3}x^{\frac{1}{3} - 1}
  3. Simplify:                                                                                                         \displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{3}x^{-\frac{2}{3}}
  4. Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]:                                                           \displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}}

<u>Step 3: Solve</u>

  1. Substitute<em> </em>in <em>x</em> [Derivative]:                                                                           \displaystyle y'(27) = \frac{1}{3(27)^{\frac{2}{3}}}
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                     \displaystyle y'(27) = \frac{1}{3(9)}
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         \displaystyle y'(27) = \frac{1}{27}

Solve for x and then find the measure of
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

x = 11

∠B = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A =∠B because they are corresponding angles

8x - 8 = 5x + 25

3x = 33

divide both sides of the equation by 3:

x = 11

∠B = 5(11) + 25 = 80°
