This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:
f(x) = a(b)^x
In this case...
25143 = a(0.66)^3
25143 is the population after 3 hours.
3 is the amount of time in hours.
0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).
We must solve for a, which is the initial population.
First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.
25143 = 0.2874a
Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.
a = 87455
There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!
The distance between the points A to B is 899.9 feet. After rounding off the nearest integer we get 900 feet as the final answer.
Given we know that CD is perpendicular to AD.
The distance between CD is 139 feet.
As from points A the boat's crew measure the angle of elevation to the beacon as 6°
therefore, m∠A = 6°
Another time the angle of elevation is measured from point B which is 19°.
therefore, m∠DBC = 19°
tan 19° = CD/BD
BD = CD/tan19°
BD = 136/tan 19°
now for tan 6° = CD/AD (tangent is opposite over adjacent)
AD = CD/tan 6°
AD = 136/tan 6°
AB = AD ₋ BD
AB = 136/tan 6° ₋ 136/tan 19°
AB = 1295.2 ₋ 395.3
AB = 900 feet
hence the distance from point A to B is 900 feet.

Answer:
A . x= -16
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of of the hotdog to the price of popcorn is in the ratio 5:4
25:20 is 5:4
4(4)+ 2(-5) = 6
16+ (-10) = 6
