Answer:

⁵/₃

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are at the foot of the guy wire, the wire is going <em>up</em>.

Slope = Δy/Δx = 25/15 = ⁵/₃

If you are at the top of the pole, the wire is going <em>down</em>.

Slope = Δy/Δx = -25/15 = -⁵/₃

The function that models exponential growth is:

P(t) = P0*(1 + r)^t, where

P0 = P(0) is the initial value of P

r is the growth rate as a decimal

In our case we have:

P(0) = 2800

r = 0.035 or 3.5%

P(t) = 2800*(1 + 0.035)^t

P(t) = 2800*(1.035)^t

The same exponential function written using y and t is:

y = 2800*1.035^t.

The interior angles of a triangle have measures (2x - 5), (4– 1), and 30°
const2013 [10]

Answer: x=26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation 2x-5+4x-1+30=180 because all triangle angles add up to 180°

2. Simplify the equation by combining like terms. Write the equation as 6x+24=180

3. Subtract 24 from both sides. Write the equation as 6x=156.

4. Divide 156/6 and get 26. That is your answer (x=26).
