The total square footage of mini storage units being rented in a city is graphed to forecast future demand. The scatter plot has

a trend line y=0.538x + 9.02, where x = 0 is the year 2005 and y is the total area rented (in ten thousand square feet) of all mini storage units in the city. If the total area rented continues to increase at the same rate, about how many square feet of mini storage units will be needed by the year 2018?
A 190,000 sq ft
B 160,000 sq ft
C 19,000 sq ft
D 16,000 sq ft

Answer:

B 160,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

2018 is 13 years after 2005.

Put x=13 in the equation and evaluate:

... y = 0.538·13 +9.02 = 6.994 +9.02 = 16.014

This is the number of 10,000 sq ft, so the required area is ...

... 16 times 10,000 sq ft = 160,000 sq ft.

Answer:

D) 16,000 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot has a trend line y = 0.538x + 9.02, where "x" represents the number years and "y" represents the area rented.

x =0, when the year 2005

Here we need to find the storage area needed in the year 2018

Therefore, x = 13 in the year 2018.

Now plug in x = 13 in the given equation and find the value of y.

y = 0.538(13) + 9.02

y = 6.99 + 9.02

y = 16.01 thousand square feet

y = 16.01 *1000

y = 16,010 square feet

The nearest approximate value 16,000 sq.ft

The answer is D) 16,000 sq ft

Thank you.

A sign standing 6 feet tall is situated 18 feet away from a flag pole. at a certain time of day the sign's shadow is 3 feet long
alexdok [17]
Observe attached picture.

On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft

When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.

We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.

From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:
tan \alpha = \frac{C}{D}
Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:
tan \alpha = \frac{A}{B}

We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:
\frac{C}{D} = \frac{A}{B}
We can solve for A:
CB=AD \\ A= \frac{CB}{D}  \\ A= \frac{6*24}{3}  \\ A=48 ft

Height of flagpole is 48 feet.

Suppose an investment of $5,000 doubles every 12 years. How much is the investment worth after 36 years? After 48 years?
nadezda [96]
This can be done without exponential equations.

It doubles every 12 years so it has doubled in price
5,000 * 2 = 10,000

After 36 years the value has increased 8 times
5,000 * 8 = 40,000

After 48 years the value has increased 16 times
5,000 * 16 = 80,000

Find the midpoint of the line segment that joins points P(-4,3) and Q(9,14)?
k0ka [10]

Given the following points:

Point P: (-4, 3)

Point Q: (9, 14)

To be able to find the midpoint of the line segment, we will be using the following formula:

\text{ Midpoint = }\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2_{}}{2}

We get,

\text{ Midpoint = }\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\text{= }\frac{(-4)+(9)_{}}{2},\frac{3_{}+14_{}}{2}\text{ = }\frac{5}{2},\frac{17}{2}

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment is 5/2, 17/2.

How are the decimals 0.009 and 0.09 related?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
0.009 is related to 0.09 because they are both nine and 0 is not really a number is pretty much the two decimals are just the number 9 so that is how their related or equal
