Answer:

100 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Population Of People=115Percentagencrease=15%

The New Population corresponds to 115%

(That is 100+15)

We want to find the population that corresponds to 100% that is the original population.

Therefore Original Population;

 $\frac{100}{115}\times {115}{}$ 

 $100 \: people$

How to find the vertical asymptote of a function without a denominator?

Galina-37 [17]

Let's consider the equation;

7x+2=y <-- no denominator present

If you look at the graph, you will also notice that there are no possible values of x that cannot be represented through this graph. There will always be a corresponding y coordinate.

This can be applied to a wide range of equations where no denominator with an x value will have a vertical asymptote. Try to visualize a simpler situation with the same qualities if you don't know how to find the solution.

Hope I helped :)

If the kite is 500 feet of string how high is it above the ground if the horizontal distance between Tyler and the kite is 300 f

laiz [17]

Pythagorean Theorem:

500^2 = 300^2 + x^2

250,000 = 90,000 + x^2

160,000 = x^2

x = +/- 400 use the positive root

height is 400ft
