Answer:

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Slope=m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here

$(x_1, y_1)=(2, -4) \ \ and \ \ (x_2, y_2)=(5, -8)$

$m=\frac{-8-(-4)}{5-2}$

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

Find the centroid for an area defined by the equations y = x² + 3 and y = - (x – 2)² + 7

sergeinik [125]

First we need to find where the 2 graphs intercept.

x^2 + 3 = - (x^2 - 4x + 4) + 7
x^2 + 3 = -x^2 + 4x + 3
2x^2 - 4x = 0
2x(x - 2)

x = 0 , 2. are x coordinates of the 2 intercepts.

A certain forest covers an area of 4600km. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 7.75%. What will the area be after 13 y

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$1679.60\ km^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

-We can use the exponential decay function to estimate the size after 13 years:

$P_t=P_oe^{-rt}$

Where:

$P_t$ is the size after t years, t is the time, r is the rate of decay and $P_o$ the original size.

#We substitute and calculate as:

$P_t=P_oe^{-rt}\\\\=4600e^{-13\times 0.0775}\\\\=1679.60$

Hence, the forest covers $1679.60\ km^2$ after 13 years.
