Answer:

62.5 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if the scale is 1 in. = 5 mi, then 1 square in. = 25 square miles

so if 1 in^2 = 25 mi^2

then you make a proportion

25/1 = x/2.5

(the square inches on the bottom and the square miles on top)

solving for x gives you

x=62.5 square miles

a barangay has 1000 individuals and its population doubles every 60 years. Give an exponential model for the barangay's populati
sdas [7]

Answer:

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the population of barangay be expressed according to the exponential formula;

P(t) = P0e^kt

P(t) is the population of the country after t years

P0 is the initial population

t is the time

If barangay has 1000 initially, this means that P0 = 1000

If the population doubles after 60years then;

at t = 60, P(t) = 2P0

Substitute into the formula

2P0 = P0e^k(60)

2 = e^60k

Apply ln to both sides

ln2 = lne^60k

ln2 = 60k

k = ln2/60

k = 0.01155

Substitute k = 0.01155 and P0 into the expression

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Hence an exponential model for barangay's population is

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

The width of rectangular solid is 20ft, which is 4/5 of its length. The height of it is 2/9 of the sum of the length and width.
lilavasa [31]
Let L and H represent length and height, respectively.
.. 20 ft = (4/5)*L
.. L = (5/4)*(20 ft) = 25 ft . . . . . . . . multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of L

.. H = (2/9)*(L +20 ft)
.. = (2/9)*(25 ft +20 ft))
.. = (2/9)*(45 ft) = 10 ft

The volume is the product of length, width, and height.
.. V = (25 ft)*(20 ft)*(10 ft) = 5000 ft^3

Let's say that you're in your room and you find that the current temperature of 72 degrees is too cold, so slowly you increase the temperature of the room by two degrees.

We know that the explicit formula is
a^n=a^1+ (n-1)d

and so by substituting the given information in

a^n= 72 + (n-1)2

a^1=Initial temp
d= rate of change

by substitution a value of n (the term we are looking for) into this equation, you can then calculate the temperature that you just set the room too.
