Data:

P (Final population) = ?
Po (Initial population) = 81712
r (rate) = 4,1% = 0,041
t (time in years) = 17

$P = Po - (Po*r*t)$
$P = 81712 -(81712*0,014*17)$
$P = 81712 - 56953.264$
$P =24758.736$
$\boxed{P \approx 24759}$

Answer:
B) 24759

Triangles 1 and 2 are both isosceles. They each have a 30 degree angle. Explain why these triangles don't have to be similar to

Vladimir79 [104]

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle 1 can have 30°, 75° and 75° angles whereas Triangle 2 can have 30°, 30° and 120° angles.

Since they do not have all 3 congruent angles, they are not similar.

Factorise 9w² - 100<br><br><br>

ohaa [14]

Answer:

$9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w - 10) \, (3\, w + 10)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Fact:

$\begin{aligned} & (a - b)\, (a + b)\\ =\; & a^{2} + a\, b - a\, b - b^{2} \\ =\; & a^{2} - b^{2} \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, $(a^{2} - b^{2})$ , the difference of two squares in the form $a^{2}$ and $b^{2}$ , could be factorized into $(a - b)\, (a + b)$ .

In this question, the expression $(9\, w^{2} - 100)$ is the difference between two terms: $9\, w^{2}$ and $100$ .

$9\, w^{2}$ is the square of $3\, w$ . That is: $(3\, w)^{2} = 9\, w^{2}$ .
On the other hand, $10^{2} = 100$ .

Hence:

$9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2}$ .

Apply the fact that $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a - b) \, (a + b)$ to factorize this expression. (In this case, $a = 3\, w$ whereas $b = 10$ .)

$\begin{aligned}& 9\, w^{2} - 100 \\ =\; & (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2} \\ = \; & (3\, w - 10)\, (3\, w + 10)\end{aligned}$ .
