Westkost [7]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people who went to the local swimming pool in the;

first week = 1120

second week ( 105 fewer people) = 1120 - 105 = 1015

third week (135 more people) = 1015 + 135 = 1150

fourth week (310 fewer people|) = 1150 - 310 = 840

The percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four weeks

= (1120 - 840)/1120 * 100%

= 280/1120 * 100%

= 1/4 * 100%

= 25%

It means that the number of people who went to the local swimming pool over the 4 weeks decreased by 25%

an ellipse has a center at the origin , a vertex along the major axis at (13,0), and a focus at (12,0). What is the equation of

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Center = (0, 0)

Vertex = (13, 0)

Focus = (12, 0)

Process

From the data we know that it is a horizontal ellipse.

1.- Calculate "a", the distance from the center to the vertex.

a = 13

2.- Calculate "c", the distance from the center to the focus

c = 12

3.- Calculate b

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find it

a² = b² + c²

-Solve for b

b² = a² - c²

-Substitution

b² = 13² - 12²

-Simplification

b² = 169 - 144

b² = 25

b = 5

4.- Find the equation of the ellipse

$\frac{x^{2} }{13^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{5^{2}} = 1$ or $\frac{x^{2} }{169} + \frac{y^{2}}{25} = 1$

Y intercept of y=2x-3

3241004551 [841]

Since the equation is in y = mx+b form you can easily determine the y intercept based on the b value present.

Y = mx + b
Y = 2x - 3
B = y intercept = (0,-3).

John works two jobs. As a security guard he earns $8.50 per hour. As a landscaper he earns $14 per hour. One week John worked a

Rashid [163]

Answer:

John work as a security guard job 27 hours and as a landscaper 33 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

John works two jobs.

As a security guard he earns $8.50 per hour and as a landscaper he earns $14 per hour.

One week John worked a total of 60 hours and earned $691.50.

Now, to find hours he work at each job.

Let the job of security guard be $x$ hours.

And the job of landscaper be $y$ hours.

So, the total hours John worked in a week:

$x+y=60.$

⇒ $y=60-x.$ ............( 1 )

Now, the money earned by John in a week:

$8.50x+14y=691.50$

Putting the equation ( 1 ) in the place of $y$ :

⇒ $8.50x+14(60-x)=691.50$

⇒ $8.50x+840-14x=691.50$

Moving variables on one side and the other we get:

⇒ $840-691.50=14 x-8.50x$

⇒ $148.50=5.50x$

Dividing both sides by 5.50 we get:

⇒ $27=x$

As a security guard job he worked 27 hours.

Putting the value of in $x$ equation ( 1 ) we get:

$y=60-27$

⇒ $y=33.$

As a landscaper he worked 33 hours.

Therefore, John work as a security guard job 27 hours and as a landscaper 33 hours.
