Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

<em>Set Up the Proportion</em>

3 cm / 8 km = x / 20 km                Cross multiply

3*20 = 8x                                        Combine the left

60 = 8x                                           Divide by 8

60/8 = x

7 4/8  = x

7 1/2 km = x

7.5 km  = x

Problem 2

3 cm / 8km = 12 cm / x                  Cross multiply

3x = 12 * 8                                      Combine the right

3x = 96                                          Divide by 3

3x/3 = 96/3

x = 32 km

The U.S. population in 1910 was 92 million people. In 1990, the population was 280 million. This could either be a linear or exp
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The linear model means that there is a uniform increase and in this case of US population from  92  million people in  1910  to  250  million people in  1990 .  

This means an increase of  250 − 92 = 158  million in  1990 -1910 = 80  years or   158 80 = 1.975  million per year and in  x  years it will become   92 + 1.975 x  million people. This can be graphed using the linear function  1.975 ( x − 1910 ) + 92 ,

graph{1.975(x-1910)+92 [1890, 2000, 85, 260]}

The exponential model means that there is a uniform proportional increase i.e. say  p %  every year and in this case of US population from  92  million people in  1910  to  250  million people in  1990 .  

This means an increase of  250 − 92 = 158  million in  1990 − 1910 = 80  years or  

p %  given by  92 ( 1 + p ) 80 = 250  which gives us  ( 1 +p ) 80 = 250 92  which simplifies to  p = ( 250 92 ) 0.0125 − 1 = 0.0125743  or  1.25743 % .  

This can be graphed as an exponential function  92 × 1.0125743 ( x − 1910 ) , which gives population in a year  y  and this appears as graph{92(1.0125743^(x-1910)) [1900, 2000, 85, 260]}
