Answer:

y = -3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3, 4 and 1, -8

1 - -3 = 4

-8 - 4 = -12

$\frac{-12}{4}$ = $\frac{-3}{1}$ = -3

gradient/slope = -3

now substituting in the point -3, 4 to find the y intercept:

4= -3 x -3 + c

4 = 9 + c

-5 = c

y intercept = -5

equation is y = -3x - 5

Answer:

A(-3,4) B(1,-8)

y-y1/x-x1 =y2-y1/x2-x1

y-4/x--3 = -8-4/1--3

y-4/x+3 = -12/1+3

y-4/x+3 =-12/4

y-4/x+3 = -3

y-4 = -3(x+3)

y-4=-3x-9

y+3x +9-4=

y+3x+5=0

The population of a certain community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t. If

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

$t=7.85 years$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write this rate as an ordinary differential equation.

$\frac{dP}{dt}=aP$

Where a is proportional constant, P the population variable, and t the time.

$\frac{dP}{P}=adt$

Integrating each side of the equation.

$\int \frac{dP}{P}=\int adt$

$ln(P)=at+c$

$P=e^{at+c}$

$P=e^{c}e^{at}=Ce^{at}$

To find C we need to use the initial condiction, it means evaluae P at t=0.

$P_{0}=Ce^{0}=C$

$P=P_{0}e^{at}$

Now, we use the sentence the population has doubled in 5 years.

$2P_{0}=P_{0}e^{a5}$

We can find "a" in this condition.

$2=e^{a5}$

$ln(2)=a5$

$a=\frac{ln(2)}{5}$

$a=0.14$

Finally, let's find how long will it take to triple.

$3P_{0}=P_{0}e^{0.14t}$

$3=e^{0.14t}$

$t=\frac{ln(3)}{0.14}$

$t=7.85 years$

I hope it helps you!

HELP ME PLEASEEEEE

AVprozaik [17]

Answer: (x,y) = (-1, 1)

This means that x = -1 and y = 1

========================================================

Explanation:

The first equation says that y is the same as 2x+3

That allows us to substitute y for 2x+3 in the second equation like so:

2x+5y = 3

2x+5( y ) = 3

2x + 5(2x+3) = 3 .... y replaced with 2x+3

2x+10x+15 = 3

12x+15 = 3

12x = 3-15

12x = -12

x = -12/12

x = -1

Then we'll substitute this into the first equation to find y

y = 2x+3

y = 2(-1) + 3 .... x replaced with -1

y = -2+3

y = 1

Together x = -1 and y = 1 pair up to form the ordered pair solution (x,y) = (-1,1)

If you were to graph y = 2x+3 and 2x+5y=3 on the same xy grid, then you should see that the two lines intersect at the location (-1,1). This is a visual way to determine the solution quickly through use of a graphing calculator.

In a rational function, is the horizontal shift represented by the vertical asymptote?

ziro4ka [17]

<h3>Short Answer: Yes, the horizontal shift is represented by the vertical asymptote</h3>

A bit of further explanation:

The parent function is y = 1/x which is a hyperbola that has a vertical asymptote overlapping the y axis perfectly. Its vertical asymptote is x = 0 as we cannot divide by zero. If x = 0 then 1/0 is undefined.

Shifting the function h units to the right (h is some positive number), then we end up with 1/(x-h) and we see that x = h leads to the denominator being zero. So the vertical asymptote is x = h

For example, if we shifted the parent function 2 units to the right then we have 1/x turn into 1/(x-2). The vertical asymptote goes from x = 0 to x = 2. This shows how the vertical asymptote is very closely related to the horizontal shifting.

A hula hoop has an circumference 150.72 cm. What is the area of the hula hoop? (round to the nearest hundredth)

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Area = 1808.64 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Circumference = 150.72

π = 3.14

r = radius

150.72 = 2 x 3.14 x r

150.72 = 6.28 r

r = 150.72/6.28

r = 24cm

Radius = 24

Area of a circle = πr²

Area = 3.14 x 24²

Area = 3.14 x 576

Area =1808.64 cm

Suppose a charity received a donation of 12.7 million. If this represents 29% of the charity's donated funds, what is the total

DanielleElmas [232]

The total amount of its donated funds is 43 $\frac{23}{29}$ .

Given,

In the question:

A charity received a donation of 12.7 million.

If this represents 29% of the charity's donated funds.

To find the total amount of its donated funds.

Now, According to the question:

Based on the given conditions:

Received donation is = 12.7 million

Charity Funds = 29%

Formulate;

12.7 ÷ 29%

12.7/29%

= 12.7/0.29

Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer

= 1270/29

= 43 $\frac{23}{29}$

Hence, The total amount of its donated funds is 43 $\frac{23}{29}$ .
