Answer:

18 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number = 3x

Let the larger number =  3x + 3

The three and the plus 3 insure that the numbers are multiples of 3 and are consecutive.

3* (3x + 3) = 7/10 * 5 (3x)       Multiply both sides by 10

30*(3x + 3) = 7 * 5 * 3x          Remove the brackets

90x + 90 = 7 * 5 * 3x             Combine the right

90x + 90 = 105x                    Subtract 90x from both sides.

<u>-90x             -90x</u>

           90 = 15x                     Divide by 15

x = 90/15

x = 6

Let's see if it works.

3*(3x + 3) = 3*(18 + 3) = 3 * 21 = 63

7/10 * 5 *3x = 7/10 * 5 * 3*6 = 630 / 10 = 63

What are the ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent for angle Y? sin(Y) = StartFraction X Z Over X Y EndFraction; cos(Y) = StartFra
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

\sin Y= \frac{XZ}{XY}

\cos Y= \frac{YZ}{XY}

\tan Y= \frac{XZ}{YZ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Required

Find \sin, \cos and \tan of angle Y

For angle Y:

Opposite = XZ

Adjacent = YZ

Hypotenuse = XY

The \sin of an angle is calculated as:

\sin\theta = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

So:

\sin Y= \frac{XZ}{XY}

The \cos of an angle is calculated as:

\cos\theta = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

So:

\cos Y= \frac{YZ}{XY}

The \tan of an angle is calculated as:

\tan\theta = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

So:

\tan Y= \frac{XZ}{YZ}

Help please asap aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
wel

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your exponential formula is in the form y = ab^x. In this form, the coefficient 'a' is the initial value, the y-intercept, the value when x=0. The value 'b' is the growth factor, which is 1 more than the growth rate per increment of x. This problem is asking for the growth rate to be expressed as a percentage.

__

Given p(x) = 78500(1.02^x), we can compare to the exponential function form to see that ...

  • a = 78,500
  • b = 1.02 = 1 +0.02 = 1 +2%

The value of x is zero in the year 2000, so the population that year is ...

  p(0) = a = 78,500

The increase per year is the value of 'b' with 1 subtracted:

  growth rate = 2% per year
