Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010 the percentage of fatal accidents was 16%.

This is 34% less than it was in 2000 because the text says that the 2010 percentage was 16% after being reduced by 34% from 2010.

The percentage of fatal accidents in 2000 is therefore:

= 2010 fatal percentage + Percentage reduced from 2000

= 16% + 34%

= 50%

For what values of the variables are the following expressions defined? 1. 5y+2 2. 18/y 3. 1/x+7 4. 2b/10−b Example: X>7
Serga [27]

Answer:

1. All real numbers

2. All real numbers except y = 0

3. All real numbers except x = -7

4. All real numbers except b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For any function to be defined at a particular value, it should not be <em>approaching to a value </em>\infty<em> or it should not give us the </em>\frac{0}{0}<em> (zero by zero) form </em> when the input is given to the function.

The value of function will depend on the denominator.

Now, let us consider the given functions one by one:

1. 5y+2

Here denominator is 1. So, it can not attain a value \infty or \frac{0}{0}<em> (zero by zero) form </em>

So, for all real numbers, the function is defined.

2.\ \dfrac{18}{y}

At y = 0, the value

At\ y =0,  \dfrac{18}{y} \rightarrow \infty

So, the given function is <em>defined for all real numbers except y = 0</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>3.\ \dfrac{1}{x+7}<em></em>

Let us consider denominator:

x + 7 can be zero at a value x = -7

At\ x =-7,  \dfrac{1}{x+7} \rightarrow \infty

So, the given function is <em>defined for all real numbers except x = -7</em>

<em></em>

4.\ \dfrac{2b}{10-b}

Let us consider denominator:

10-b can be zero at a value b = 10

At\ b =10,  \dfrac{2b}{10-b} \rightarrow \infty

So, the given function is <em>defined for all real numbers except b = 10</em>

<em></em>

A camp ground consists of 12 square campsites arranged in a line along a beach. The distance from the edge of a campsite to the
Darina [25.2K]
X=side length of a campsite
12x(5+x)=1248  because each campsite has a length of x and there are 12                           and from the top of the camp to the water is the 5 yds + a                             side length and LW=1248
60x+12x^2=1248
12x^2+60x-1248=0
x^2+5-14=0
(x+7)(x-2)=0
x+7=0 or x-2=0
x=-7 or x=2
x=2 because width can't be negative
the width of one campsite is 2 yds

The math I used is probably not the quickest way, but for me, the easiest.
25*5=125  25+20=45  45*7=315  125+315=440  25*4=100  440+100=540  5+7+4=16
B is your answer.
