Perimeter

Perimeter is the distance all round a particular shape. Since we are not given the shape of her bedroom, we may not have a particular formula that was uses to find the perimeter. Despite all that, the only way that she could arrive to conclusion that 36 meters of light are needed, then Supriya it is by finding the perimeter.

A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?
Leya [2.2K]

<em>Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>  5x+4y=2 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>-5x     -5x  (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>4y = 2 - 5x </em>

<em> </em>

<em>/4  /4  /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y = (1/2) - (5/4)x  ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know: </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y = 5 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>m = -(5/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>x = 7 </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y=mx+b </em>

<em> </em>

<em>5=(-5/4)(7) + b  -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>5 = -(35/4) + b  -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>+(35/4) +(35/4)  -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b </em>

<em> </em>

<em>55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74 </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Answer:  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>m = -(5/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>b = 13.75</em>

A country's population in 1991 was 114 million. In 1997 it was 120 million. Estimate the population in 2014 using exponential gr
Rufina [12.5K]
The answer is 138 million.

Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.

We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time

Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:
120 000 000 = 114 000 000 * e ^{n*6} \\ e ^{n*6} =120 000 000 /114000000 \\ e ^{n*6} =1.05 \\
Logarithm both sides of the equation:
ln(e ^{n*6})=ln(1.05) \\ n*6*ln(e) = ln(1.05) \\ 6n=ln(1.05) \\ n = \frac{ln(1.05)}{6} \\ n = \frac{0.05}{6} \\ n = 0.0083

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17
A = 120 000 000 * e ^{0.0083*17}  \\ &#10;A = 120 000 000 * e^{0.1411}   \\ &#10;A = 120 000 000 * 1.15 \\ &#10;A = 138 000 000&#10;
Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014
