Answer:

t=16

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to change the numbers to get just the variable.

we start from -3.

5=t/2-3

8=t/2

(we multiply by 2 instead of dividing)

8×2=16

t=16

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

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in t years after 2012 is given by:

$P(t) = 0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000$

In what month and year will the population reach 34,200?

We have to find t for which P(t) = 34200. So

$P(t) = 0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000$

$0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000 = 34200$

$0.8t^{2} + 6t - 15200 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$0.8t^{2} + 6t - 15200 = 0$

So $a = 0.8, b = 6, c = -15200$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = 6^{2} - 4*0.8*(-15100) = 48356$

$t_{1} = \frac{-6 + \sqrt{48356}}{2*0.8} = 134.14$

$t_{2} = \frac{-6 - \sqrt{48356}}{2*0.8} = -141.64$

We only take the positive value.

134 years after 2012.

.14 of an year is 0.14*365 = 51.1. The 51st day of a year happens in February.

So the population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.

Meg lives in Indianapolis and wants to visit her mom in Lima. She has been meaning to go to a chiropractor in Dayton, so she is

ella [17]

Answer: 44 miles

WORKINGS

Given,
The distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL = 173 miles
The distance between Indianapolis and Dayton, ID = 165 miles
The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL is unknown

Since there are straight roads connecting the three cities, the connection between them form a right angles triangle.

The right angle is at Dayton
The hypotenuse is the distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL

Therefore IL^2 = ID^2 + DL^2
173^2 = 165^2 + DL^2
DL^2 = 173^2 – 165^2
DL^2 = 29929 – 27225
DL^2 = 2704
DL = 52 miles

Therefore, The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL = 52 miles

The question is asking how many more miles would Meg drive if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.

That is, Distance of Indianapolis to Dayton + Distance of Dayton to Lima – Direct distance of Indianapolis to Lima
That is, ID + DL – IL
= 165 miles + 52 miles – 173 miles
= 217 miles – 173 miles
= 44 miles

Therefore, Meg would drive 44 more miles if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
