First, we must determine the circumference of the paddle wheel.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is:
c = 2πr
Where r is the radius of the circle. However, we know d = 2r where d is the diameter of the circle.
Therefore:
c = 2rπ = dπ
Substituting 8ft for d gives a circumference of:
c = 8πft
The time it takes to complete 1 revolution can be found using the formula:
t = d/s
Where:
t is the time it takes: what we are solving for in this problem.
d is the distance traveled: we calculated this as 8πft
s is the speed traveled: from the problem we know this is
6.7ft/sec
Substituting and calculating t gives:
t = 8πft / (6.7ft/sec)
t = 1.2πsec
Two find how long it would take for 100 revolutions we can multiply this time by 100
100 × 1.6πsec ⇒ 122.2πsec
If a number is required for the answer we can use 3.14 as an estimate for π giving:
122.2πsec ⇒ 122.2 × 3.14sec ⇒ 383sec

The current population of a town is 10,000. If the population, P, increases by 20% each year, which equation could be used to fi
frozen [14]

Answer:

<u>The equation would be:</u>

<u>p = 10,000 * (1 + 0.2)∧ t</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Current population of a town = 10,000 inhabitants

Growth rate of the population = 20% annually

2. Which equation could be used to find the population after T years?

p = Population of the town after t years

t = Number of years

We will use the following equation:

<u>p = 10,000 * (1 + 0.2)∧ t</u>

For example, let's calculate the population after 6 years, replacing with the real values, we have:

p = 10,000 * (1 + 0.2)⁶

p = 10,000 * 2.986

p = 29,860 inhabitants

You move left 1 unit and up 6 units. You end at (-2, 5). Where did you start?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

<h2>(-1,-1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

since you moved -1 in the x-axis

+1 to reverse it

<em>(-1,5)</em>

and since you moved +6 in the y-axis

-6 to do the reverse

(-1,-1)
