(7+x)+x=15
I did trial and error to get x=4.
Answer:
The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700
Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:
p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)
p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000
p = 700t - 1397300
Answer:
The inequality representing s, the number of sets of forks Nathan should buy is
s ≥ 21
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, the restaurant needs at least 571 forks, i.e., if n represents the number of forks the restaurant needs, then
n ≥ 571
Also from the question, there are currently 361 forks. If y represents the number of forks the restaurant needs to buy, then
y ≥ 571 - 361
y ≥ 210
Also, each set on sale contains 10 forks. if s represents the number of sets of forks Nathan should buy, then
s ≥ 210/10
s ≥ 21
Hence, the inequality representing s, the number of sets of forks Nathan should buy is
s ≥ 21
Although there is no picture, I will assume this is a triangle we are talking about since the terms base and height are being used. If that is the case, the height is roughly 38.72in.
To find this, we will use the area of a triangle formula.
1/2bh = a ---> plug in known values.
1/2(12.6)(h) = 244 ---> multiply to simplify
6.3(h) = 244 ----> divide both sides by 6.3
h = 38.73
Since segment AC bisects (aka cuts in half) angle A, this means the two angles CAB and CAD are the same measure. I'll refer to this later as "fact 1".
Triangles ABC and ADC have the shared segment AC between them. By the reflexive property AC = AC. Any segment is equal in length to itself. I'll call this "fact 2" later on.
Similar to fact 1, we have angle ACB = angle ACD. This is because AC bisects angle BCD into two smaller equal halves. I'll call this fact 3
----------------------
To summarize so far, we have these three facts
- angle CAB = angle CAD
- AC = AC
- angle ACB = angle ACD
in this exact order, we can use the ASA (angle side angle) congruence property to prove the two triangles are congruent. Facts 1 and 3 refer to the "A" parts of "ASA", while fact 2 refers to the "S" of "ASA". The order matters. Notice how the side is between the angles in question.
------------------------
Once we prove the triangles are congruent, we use CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) to conclude that AB = AD and BC = BD. These pair of sides correspond, so they must be congruent in order for the entire triangles to be congruent overall.
It's like saying you had 2 identical houses, so the front doors must be the same. The houses are the triangles (the larger structure) and the door is an analogy to the sides (which are pieces of the larger structure).
