<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

They are 4.7miles apart

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Cross-multiply & Divide,

\frac{5.1cm}{2mi} *\frac{12cm}{x}

Solve for x,

2 × 12 = 24

24 ÷ 5.1 = 4.7

The population of a certain town was 10,000 in 1990. The rate of change of the population, measured in people per year, is model
Katena32 [7]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The population of a certain town was 10,000 in 1990. The rate of change of a population, measured in hundreds of people per year, is modeled by P prime of t equals two-hundred times e to the 0.02t power, where t is measured in years since 1990. Discuss the meaning of the integral from zero to twenty of P prime of t, d t. Calculate the change in population between 1995 and 2000. Do we have enough information to calculate the population in 2020? If so, what is the population in 2020?

Solution :

According to the question,

The rate of change of population is given as :

$\frac{dP(t)}{dt}=200e^{0.02t}$  in 1990.

Now integrating,

$\int_0^{20}\frac{dP(t)}{dt}dt=\int_0^{20}200e^{0.02t} \ dt$

                    $=\frac{200}{0.02}\left[e^{0.02(20)}-1\right]$

                   $=10,000[e^{0.4}-1]$

                    $=10,000[0.49]$

                    =4900

$\frac{dP(t)}{dt}=200e^{0.02t}$

$\int1.dP(t)=200e^{0.02t}dt$

$P=\frac{200}{0.02}e^{0.02t}$

$P=10,000e^{0.02t}$

$P=P_0e^{kt}$

This is initial population.

k is change in population.

So in 1995,

$P=P_0e^{kt}$

   $=10,000e^{0.02(5)}$

   $=11051$

In 2000,

$P=10,000e^{0.02(10)}$

   =12,214

Therefore, the change in the population between 1995 and 2000 = 1,163.

Been trying to get this one answered for months, will make the first one to answer a brainliest :D Please explain how you did it
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

\frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the slope of a line you must find where the points intersect, use the formula for slope, substitute values, and simplify if needed.

In this case we were already given the points for slope:

P1=(-4,-4) = (x1,y1)

P2=(-2,3)=(x2,y2)

Slope formula:

slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Now substitute:

\frac{-2--4}{3--4}

Solve using KCC: (Keep, Change, Change)

-2+4=2

3+4=7

=\frac{2}{7}

Because the slope isn't a negative you do not need to simplify the answer.

Hope this helps.

How do you eliminate the parameter theta to find a Cartesian equation of the curve: x=sin(1/2 theta), y=cos(1/2 theta), 0 is les
kiruha [24]
The answer to the problem is as follows:

x = sin(t/2) 
<span>y = cos(t/2) </span>

<span>Square both equations and add to eliminate the parameter t: </span>

<span>x^2 + y^2 = sin^2(t/2) + cos^2(t/2) = 1 </span>

<span>The final step is translating the original parameter limits into limits on x and y. Over the -Pi to +Pi range of t, x varies from -1 to +1, whereas y varies from 0 to 1. Thus we have the semicircle in quadrants I and II: y >= 0.</span>

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 and passes through point (–3, –1)?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

y = (-2/3)x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello:

equation is the line is : y = ax+b        a is a slope

y = (-2/3)x+b

passing through the point (−3;−1) :   -1 =(-2/3)(-3)+b    so : b = -3

y = (-2/3)x-3

second solution : you can verify (-3 ; -1) in the equation : y = (-2/3)x-3
