6. The figure shows rectangle ABCD in the coordinate plane with point A(0, 2.76), B(3.87, 2.76), C(3.87,0, and D(0,0). Rectangle

ABCD can be used to approximate the size of the state of Colorado with x and y scales representing hundreds of miles. At the end of 2010, the population of Colorado was 5,029,196 people. Based on this information given, what was the population density at the end of 2010 in people per square mile? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:

Population density = 47 people per square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Coordinates of vertex B → (3.87, 2.76)

Which represents length of vertex A from origin O (AD)= 2.76 units ≈ 276 miles

Length of vertex B from origin O (CD) = 3.87 units ≈ 3.87 miles

Area of rectangle ABCD = Length × Width

= CD × AD

= 387 × 276

= 106812 square miles

Population of Colorado = 5029196 people

Population density of Colorado = $\frac{\text{Total population}}{\text{Total area}}$

= $\frac{5029196}{106812}$

= 47.08

≈ 47 people per square miles

In the xy-plane, line l has a y-intercept of -13 and is perpendicular to the line with the equation y=-2/3x. If the point (10, b

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The value of $b$ is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation of the line is of the form:

$y = m\cdot x + k$

Where:

$x$ , $y$ - Independent and dependent variable, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$k$ - y-intercept, dimensionless.

Given that line $l$ is perpendicular to $y = -\frac{2}{3}\cdot y$ , the slope is equal to:

$m = -\frac{1}{m_{\perp}}$

Where $m_{\perp}$ is the slope of the perpendicular line, dimensionless.

If $m_{\perp} = -\frac{2}{3}$ , then:

$m = -\frac{1}{\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) }$

$m = \frac{3}{2}$

If $x = 0$ and $y = -13$ , the y-intercept of the line $l$ is:

$-13 = \frac{3}{2}\cdot (0) +k$

$k = -13$

The equation of the line $l$ is $y = \frac{3}{2}\cdot x -13$ . Given that $y = b$ and $x = 10$ , the value of $b$ is:

$b = \frac{3}{2}\cdot (10)-13$

$b = 15-13$

$b = 2$

The value of $b$ is 2.

A downtown parking garage charges individuals to park a car according to the following rate schedule: $1.00 for the first hour,

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

In the graph, a white dot means that the value does not belong to the set, while the colored dot means that the value does belong.

Let's analyze each statement (from top to bottom)

1)The x-axis represents the number of hours, and the y-axis the charge.

Then let's find x = 2.

You can see that there is a colored dot at y = $3, and a white dot at y = $5.

Then the price for exactly two hours is $3, not $5.

Then this first statement is wrong.

2) You can assume that 20 minutes is in between x = 0 and x =1, then from that point, you can see that the equivalent value of y is $1. Then the individuals who park only for 20 minutes will be charged with $1,

This statement is wrong.

3) 1 hour and 15 minutes is in between 1 and 2 hours.

And as you can see, for 1 < x ≤ 2, the price is $3. Then this statement is correct.

4) Here we have x > 4.

In the graph you can see that all values of x > 4 are mapped into the black part of the graph, which is equivalent to the maximum charge of $9.

Then this statement is correct.
