<span>Try simplifying the number to start. For example, if the population of the town is 100 people and the population growth is 2%, then there will 102 people in the town next year (Y=1). Continue adding 2% to the population for each of 10 years to get the answer for the 10th year. Growth would be considered 100% of current population plus 2% additional for a total of 102% - convert 102% to to a factor and you will have your formula Y=15,200*1.02;18,529</span>

A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4x-x+5 and 8-3x-3 are equivalent using substitution.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

option (b) is correct.

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4x - x + 5 and 8 - 3x - 3 are equivalent using substitution.

We have to choose the correct method from the given options that the class has suggested.

Since we have to show the given expressions 4x - x + 5 and 8 - 3x - 3 are equivalent using substitution.

We will choose a single value of x  and then evaluate both the  given expression at that single value and if the output of both expression comes out to be same then the two expressions must be equivalent.

For example lets take x = 2,

Then  expression 4x - x + 5 becomes 4(2) - 2 +5 = 8 - 2 + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

also, expression 8 - 3x - 3  becomes 8 - 3(2) - 3 = 8- 6 - 3 = 8  - 9  = -1

thus, the value is not equal hence, the two expression are not equivalent.

Thus, option (b) is correct.

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Two points on L1 and two points on L2 are given. Use the slope formula to determine if lines L1 and L2 are parallel, perpendicul
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The lines L1 and L2 neither parallel nor perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to find a slope of a line

- If a line passes through points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2), then the slope

 of the line is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

- Parallel lines have same slopes

- Perpendicular lines have additive, multiplicative slopes

 ( the product of their slopes is -1)

* Lets solve the problem

∵ L1 passes through the point (1 , 10) and (-1 , 7)

- Let (1 , 10) is (x1 , y1) and (-1 , 7) is (x2 , y2)

∴ x1 = 1 , x2 = -1 and y1 = 10 , y2 = 7

∴ The slope of L1 is m1 = \frac{7-10}{-1-1}=\frac{-3}{-2}=\frac{3}{2}

∵ L2 passes through the point (0 , 3) and (1 , 5)

- Let (0 , 3) is (x1 , y1) and (1 , 5) is (x2 , y2)

∴ x1 = 0 , x2 = 1 and y1 = 3 , y2 = 5

∴ The slope of L2 is m2=\frac{5-3}{1-0}=\frac{2}{1}=2

∵ m1 = 3/2 and m2 = 2

- The two lines have different slopes and their product not equal -1

∴ The lines L1 and L2 neither parallel nor perpendicular
