Answer:

The number of students enrolled at a college is 18,000 and grows 3% each year. Complete parts (a) through (e).

a) The initial amount a is 18,000.

b) The percent rate of change is 3%, so the growth factor b is 1 + 0.03 = 1.03.

c) To find the number of students enrolled after one year, you calculate 18,000 · 1.03.

d) Complete the equation y = 18000 · 1.03^2 to find the number of students enrolled after x years.

e) Use your equation to predict the number of students enrolled after 21 years.

The altitude of a triangle is 2 m longer than its base. What are the dimensions of the altitude and the base if thearea of the t

HACTEHA [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x m.

Therefore, altitude =( x + 2)m

$area \: of \: \triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times altitude \\ \\ 40 = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times (x + 2) \\ \\ 80 = {x }^{2} +2x \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 2x - 80 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + 10x - 8x - 80 \\ x(x + 10) - 8(x + 10) = 0\\ (x + 10)(x - 8) = 0 \\ x + 10 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 8 = 0 \\ x = - 10 \: \: or \: \: x = 8 \\ base \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ x \neq - 10 \\ x = 8 \\ x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10 \\$

Therefore

Altitude = 10 m

Base = 8 m

8 1/2 + 7 2/3 = Write the answer as a mixed number.

Digiron [165]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions, and then add them up.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{8\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{23}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{17}{2}+\cfrac{23}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 6}}{\cfrac{(3)17~~+~~(2)23}{6}}\implies \cfrac{51+46}{6}\implies \cfrac{97}{6}\implies 16\frac{1}{6}$
