Answer:

Orinal number of cats=  171

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Decrease in population= 30%

Current population= 120

<u>To calculate the original number of cats, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Orinal number of cats= current population / (1 - decrease)

Orinal number of cats= 120 / (1 - 0.3)

Orinal number of cats=  171

Answer:

  • 30.01 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given vertices WXYZ:</u>

  • W(-4,5), X(2,4), Y(3, -4), Z(-1, -6)

Perimeter is the sum of the side length.

<u>Use distance formula to find each side:</u>

  • WX = \sqrt{(2+4)^2+(4-5)^2} =\sqrt{37} ≈ 6.08
  • XY = \sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-4-4)^2} =\sqrt{65} ≈ 8.06
  • YZ = \sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(-6+4)^2} =\sqrt{20} ≈ 4.47
  • WZ = \sqrt{(-1+4)^2+(-6-5)^2} =\sqrt{130}\sqrt{(-1+4)^2+(-6-5)^2}=\sqrt{130} ≈ 11.40

<u>Find perimeter:</u>

  • P = 6.08 + 8.06 + 4.47 + 11.40 = 30.01 units

PLEASE HELP!!! Find the equation , in the standard form of the line passing through the points (3,-4) and (5,1)

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& -4~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 5 &,& 1~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-4)}{5-3}\implies \cfrac{1+4}{5-3}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-4)=\cfrac{5}{2}(x-3)\implies y+4=\cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{15}{2}

\bf y=\cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{15}{2}-4\implies y=\cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{23}{2}\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{now let's multiply both}\\&#10;\textit{sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;2(y)=2\left( \cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{23}{2} \right)\implies 2y=5x-23\implies \stackrel{standard~form}{-5x+2y=-23}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{and if we multiply both sides by -1}\qquad 5x-2y=23

side note:  multiplying by the LCD of both sides is just to get rid of the denominators

How do you compare y-intercepts and rates of change
Sphinxa [80]
Not really sure what you mean by compare. The only thing I can think of is the y intercept is generally a good point to start from to count the rise/run

Answer:

1250 p² x¹² y³z⁶m⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

5x²y³z⁵m²(-2p²m³zx⁴)(-5x²)³

5x²y³z⁵m²(-2p²m³zx⁴)(-125x⁶)

5x²y³z⁵m²(250p²m³zx¹⁰)

1250 p²x¹²y³z⁶m⁵
