The water level of a river is 170feet. The river recedes 4 feet each year. Ingrid claims that the equation that represents this

scenario is y=170x-4. Is her equation correct?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = mx + b, which is the form Ingrid's equation is in, the m stands for the rate of change. If the water level is decreasing, the rate at which it is decreasing is what goes in for m. The "b" of that equation indicates the starting height of the water, which is 170. The equation should be:

y = -4x + 170, negative because the water is decreasing.

GaryK [48]
1,75% = 0,0175

per month: 0,0175/12 = 0,00145833

500*0,00145833 = 0,73$ interest

A triangle has sides with lengths 5, 12, and 13. Verify this is a Pythagorean triple. Approximate the acute angles in this trian
djyliett [7]

A triangle with lengths 5, 12, and 13 is a Pythagorean triple

The approximate acute angles are 22.6° and 67.4°

Pythagorean triple

Pythagorean triple consist of positive number(a, b, c) such that it obeys the rule:

  • c² = a² + b²

A triangle whose sides form a Pythagorean triple is called a right angle triangle.

The longest side is the hypotenuse side.

Therefore,

  • 5² + 12²
  • 25 + 144 = 169
  • √169  = 13

Therefore,

5² + 12² = 13²

This means the triangle is a Pythagorean triple.

<h3>Acute angles</h3>

Acute angles are angles that are less than 90 degrees. This means the other two angles are acute angle.

Therefore, let's find them

  • tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent = tan ∅ = 5 / 12 = ∅ = 22.6198649155 = 22.6°
  • 180 - 22.6 - 90 = 67.4°

Tanzania [10]
Correct answers are:
(1) <span>28, 141 known cases
(2) 79913.71 known cases after six weeks (round off according to the options given)
(3) After approx. 9 weeks (9.0142 in decimal)

Explanations:
(1) Put x = 0 in given equation
</span><span>y= 28, 141 (1.19)^x
</span><span>y= 28, 141 (1.19)^(0)
</span>y= 28, 141


(2) Put x = 6 in the given equation:
<span>y= 28, 141 (1.19)^x
</span><span>y= 28, 141 (1.19)^(6)
</span>y= 79913.71

(3) Since
y= 28, 141 (1.19)^x
And y = <span>135,000

</span>135,000 = 28, 141 (1.19)^x
135,000/28, 141 = (1.19)^x

taking "ln" on both sides:
ln(4.797) = ln(1.19)^x

ln(4.797) = xln(1.19)
x = 9.0142 (in weeks)
