Answer:

17.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

There are currently 73 million cars in a certain country, decreasing by 1.7% annually.

How many years will it take for this country to have 54 million cars? Round to the

nearest year.

We use the formula

y = a(1 - r)^t

a = Initial amount = 73 million cars

y = Future amount = 54 million cars

r = decreasing rate = 1.7 % = 0.017

t = time is unknown

54,000,000 = 73,000,000(1 - 0.017)^t

Divide both sides by 73,000,000

54,000,000/73,000,000 = (0.983)^t

0.7397260274 = (0.983)^t

Take the logarithm of both sides

log 0.7397260274 = Log (0.983)^t

log 0.7397260274 =t log (0.983)

t = log 0.7397260274/log 0.983

t = -0.13092910029/-0.00744648216

t = 17.5826783005 years

Approximately = t = 17.6 years

The width of a rectangle is 6 2/3 inches. The length of the is twice it’s width. What so the perimeter of the rectangle?
Nookie1986 [14]
\text {Width = }  6\dfrac{2}{3}  \text { inches}



The length is twice its width:
\text {Length = } 2 \times 6\dfrac{2}{3} \text { inches}

Change to improper fraction:
\text {Length = }2 \times \dfrac{20}{3} \text { inches}

Combine into single fraction:
\text {Length = } \dfrac{40}{3} \text { inches}


Find Perimeter :
\text {Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width}

\text {Perimeter = } \dfrac{40}{3} + \dfrac{40}{3}   + \dfrac{20}{3}   + \dfrac{20}{3} = \dfrac{120}{3}  = 40 \text { inches}


\bf \text {Answer: Perimeter =  40 inches}

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match the polar equations to their rectangular forms.​
LekaFEV [45]

The correct answer for the polar coordinates will be C, A, E, B, D

<h3>What is a polar coordinate system?</h3>

The polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction identify each point on a plane. The pole is the reference point, and the polar axis is the ray from the pole in the reference direction.

The conversion relations between rectangular and polar coordinates can be used to find the polar coordinate equivalents. Those relations are ...

x = r·cos(θ)

y = r·sin(θ)

x² +y² = r²

x = 2

Using the expression for x, this is ...

r·cos(θ) = 2

r = 2/cos(θ) . . . . divide by cos(θ)

r = 2·sec(θ) . . . . use the trig identity

x²+y²=36

From above, this becomes ...

r² = 36

r = 6 . . . . . . take the square root

x²+y²=2y

From above, this becomes ...

r² = 2·r·sin(θ)

r = 2·sin(θ) . . . . . . divide by r

x=√3y

Using the above relations, this is ...

r·cos(θ) = √3·r·sin(θ)

1/√3 = sin(θ)/cos(θ) . . . . . . divide by √3·r·cos(θ)

tan(θ) = 1/√3   ⇒   θ = arctan(1/√3)

θ = π/6

x=y

From above, this is ...

r·cos(θ) = r·sin(θ)

1 = sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ) . . . . divide by r·cos(θ)

θ = arctan(1)

θ = π/4

However, the tangent function is periodic with period π, so θ = arctan(k)+π is also equivalent to the rectangular equation. It is the opposite ray, so forms the complete line when joined with the first ray.
