Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem that we must translate to mathematical expression before we can solve.

let the individual saving be the first letters of the names

Jada= J

Lin= L

Elena= E

1. Jada saved $20 less than Lin

J=L-20

2. Lin saved 3 times as much money as Elena

L= 3E

3. Hence Elena saved

E

Together they saved $120.

hence

(L-20)+3E+E= 120

L-20+3E+E= 120

collecting like terms we hav

L+4E=120+20

L+4E= 140

but we know that L= 3E

3E+4E= 140

7E= 140

divide both sides by 7 we have

E= 140/7

E= $20

This means Elena saves $70

also L= 3E

L= 3*20

L= $60

this means that Lean saved $60

also J=L-20

J= 60-20

J= $40

This means that Jada saved $40

It is estimated that the population of the world is increasing at an average rate of 1.09%. The population was about 7,632,819,3

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The equation that represents the population after T years is

$P_{t} = 7,632,819,325 [1 +\frac{1.09}{100} ]^{T}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in the year 2018 ( P )= 7,632,819,325

Rate of increase R = 1.09 %

The population after T years is given by the formula

$P_{t} = P [1 +\frac{R}{100} ]^{T}$ -------- (1)

Where P = population in 2018

R = rate of increase

T = time period

Put the values of P & R in above equation we get

$P_{t} = 7,632,819,325 [1 +\frac{1.09}{100} ]^{T}$

This is the equation that represents the population after T years.

An equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment with end points (3,0) and (-3,0) is

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

$x = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-3,0)$

Required

The equation of the perpendicular bisector.

First, calculate the midpoint of the given endpoints

$(x,y) = 0.5(x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2)$

$(x,y) = 0.5(3-3, 0+ 0)$

$(x,y) = 0.5(0, 0)$

Open bracket

$(x,y) = (0.5*0, 0.5*0)$

$(x,y) = (0, 0)$

Next, determine the slope of the given endpoints.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{0 - 0}{-3- 3}$

$m = \frac{0}{-6}$

$m = 0$

Next, calculate the slope of the perpendicular bisector.

When two lines are perpendicular, the relationship between them is:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}$

In this case:

$m = m_1 = 0$

So:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{0}$

$m_2 = unde\ fined$

Since the slope is $unde\ fined$ , the equation is:

$x = a$

Where:

$(x,y) = (a,b)$

Recall that:

$(x,y) = (0, 0)$

So:

$a = 0$

Hence, the equation is:

$x = 0$

Which expressions simplify to a rational answer? Select each correct answer. 29√⋅4√ 3√⋅16−−√ 73⋅−√3√ 5√⋅5√

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expressions whose simplified form is a rational number.

Rational number: If a number is defined in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0,2, 4.3 etc.

Irrational number: If a number can not defined in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

First expression is

$2\sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{4}=2(3)\cdot (2)\Rightarrow 6\cdot 2=12$

12 is a rational number.

Second expression is

$\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{16}=\sqrt{3}\cdot 4\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}$

$4\sqrt{3}$ is an irrational number.

Third expression is

$7\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow 7\cdot 3=21$

21 is a rational number.

Fourth expression is

$\sqrt{5}\cdot \sqrt{5}=5$

5 is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.
