Answer:

Smallest angle = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle sum property:Sum of all three angles of triangle is 180

2x - 6 + 3x + 5 + 2x + 20 = 180 {Combine like terms}

2x + 3x + 2x - 6 + 5 + 20 = 180

7x + 19 = 180 {Subtract 19 from both sides}

7x = 180 - 19

7x = 161 {Divide both sides by 7}

x = 161/7

x = 23

2x - 6 = 2*23 - 6 = 46 - 6 = 40

3x + 5 = 3*23 + 5 = 69 + 5 = 74

2x + 20 = 2*23 + 20 = 46 + 20 = 66

Smallest angle = 40

Renata and david want to cover the walls in one room of their house with wall paper.

valkas [14]

For this case we have the following variables:
P = area covered by a roll of wallpaper
w = the total area of the walls
n = number of rolls to buy
We write the equation for n.
You must take into account that you can determine this amount by dividing the total area between the area covered by each roll of paper.
We have then:
$n = w / P
$
Answer:
a formula that will help them determine how much wall paper they'll need to purchase is:
$n = w / P$

Two students in your class, Ralph and Bobby, are disputing a function. Ralph says that for the function, between x = −1 and x =

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Ralph and Bobby both are correct about slope. Because slope for both is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function that has two values of x's between x = −1 and x = 1.

And the average rate of change between x=-1 and x=1 is 0.

We know that x=-1 and x=1 are the points on x-axis.

If we joint x=-1 and x=1 points, we would get a straight line horizontal line on x-axis.

And note, the slope of a horizontal line is 0 always.

So, according to Bobby the graph goes up through a turning point, and then back down that means the point (-1,0) gets horizontally shift by 2 unit at (1,0).

Therefore, rise/run = 0/2, that is also equal to 0.

Therefore, Ralph and Bobby both are correct about slope.

Because slope for both is 0.

Pleasantburg has a population growth model of P(t)=at2+bt+P0 where P0 is the initial population. Suppose that the future populat

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: In June 2097

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the model, to find how many years t should take for $P(t)=21100$ we must solve the equation $0.9t^2+6t+14000=21100$ . Substracting 21100 from both sides, this equation is equivalent to $0.9t^2+6t-7100=0$ .

Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are $t_1= \frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2 -4*0.9*(-7100)}}{2*0.9}=-92.21$ and $t_2=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2 -4*0.9*(-7100)}}{2*0.9}=85.54$ . The solution $t_1=-92.21$ can be neglected as the time t is a nonnegative number, therefore $t=t_2=85.54$ .

The value of t is approximately 85 and a half years and the initial time of this model is the January 1, 2012. Adding 85 years to the initial time gives the date January 2097, and finally adding the remaining half year (six months) we conclude that the date is June 2097.
