I hope this helps you

2 1/2=2.2+1/2=5/2

5/2-1/2

4/2

2 used paint

2 1/2=5/2

5/2-2

2,5-2

0,5

1/2 left

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line given the slope and y-intercept

amid [387]

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...
y = (Slope)x + (y-intercept)

Put the given information in the appropriate spot in the equation. Simplify as required.
y = (-1/3)x + 0
can be simplified to

y = (-1/3)x

Ginny is studying a population of frogs. She determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. Whe

Rama09 [41]

You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.

In the first year the population declines by 3%. So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200. 3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200. So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200. That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97

What about the second year? The population starts at 1200 * 0.97. It declines by 3% again. But 3% of what??? The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population. So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97). And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year. So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.

So there's a pattern. If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.

So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H t H(t) models his height (in m m) above the ground, t t seconds after the ride starts. Here

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

53 seconds.

Explanation:

The text and the model are garbled.

This is the question amended:

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H(t) models his height (in m) above the ground, t seconds after the ride starts. Here, t is entered in radians.

H(t) = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

When does Hyun Woo first reach a height of 16 m?

<h2>Solution</h2>

When Hyun Woo reaches a height of 16 m the model states:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

Then you must find the lowest positive value of t that is a solution of the equation.

Solve the equation:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

10cos(2π/150 t) = - 6

cos(2π/150t) = -0.6

2π/150t = arccos(-0.6)

2π/150t = 2.214297

t = 52.86s ≈ 53 s ← answer

tester [92]

$13,000 was invested at 6% whereas $7,000 was invested at 10% using simple interest approach

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is determined as the amount invested multiplied by the interest rate and the number of years that investment lasts.

I=PRT

I=interest

P=principal

R=rate of return

T=time

Let X be the amount invested at 6%

I at 6%=6%*X*1

I=0.06X

The amount invested at 10% is 20,000-X

total interest=0.06X+0.10*(20000-X)

total interest=1,480

1480=0.06X+0.10*(20000-X)

1480=0.06X+2000-0.10X

1480-2000=0.06X-0.10X

-520=-0.04X

X=-520/-0.04

X=13,000

13,000 was invested at 6%

amount invested at 10%=20,000-X

amount invested at 10%=20,000-13,000

amount invested at 10%=7,000
