The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
The growth factor that could be used to model the population will be 1.04. Then the correct option is D.
<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>
Consider the function:
y = a (1 ± r) ˣ
Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.
If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %.
If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %.
The population is increasing by 4% per year.
Then the growth factor that could be used to model the population will be
Growth factor = (1 + 4%)
Growth factor = (1 + 0.04)
Growth factor = 1.04
The growth factor that could be used to model the population will be 1.04.
Then the correct option is D.

Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The total distance covered is 15.6 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
One day you warm up for 15 minutes at a pace of 0.1 miles per 25 seconds.
The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, like in this case, the direct rule of three can be applied as follow:
a ⇒ b
c ⇒ x
Then 
First, the simple rule of three can be applied in the following way: if 1 minute equals 60 seconds, 15 minutes equals how many seconds?
seconds= 900
So now you can apply the following rule of three: if in 25 seconds you travel 0.1 miles, in 900 seconds how many miles do you travel?
distance= 3.6 miles
If you then ride hard for 12 miles, the total distance traveled will be the sum of both:
3.6 miles + 12 miles = 15.6 miles
<u><em>The total distance covered is 15.6 miles.</em></u>
