Is the Port Townsend sales price ever double the Seattle sales price?

Mathematics

Rainbow [258]3 years ago

Using linear functions, it is found that the sales price in Port Townsend is never double the Seattle price.

A linear function has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the initial value.

For Seattle:

  • Initial value of $38,000 in 1970, thus the y-intercept is b = 38000.
  • Increased by $137,000 in 20 years, thus the slope is:

m = \frac{137000}{20} = 6850

Thus, the <u>sales prince in n years after 1970</u> for Seattle is:

S(n) = 38000 + 6850n

For Port Townsend:

  • Initial value of $8,400 in 1970, thus the y-intercept is b = 8400.
  • Increased by $160,000 in 20 years, thus the slope is:

m = \frac{160000}{20} = 8000

Thus, the <u>sales prince in n years after 1970</u> for Port Townsend is:

P(n) = 8400 + 8000n

Port Townsend is double Seattle in n years after 1970, for which:

P(n) = 2S(n)

Then

8400 + 8000n = 2(38000 + 6850n)

8400 + 8000n = 76000 + 13700n

7500n = -67600

Negative number, and we are working only with positive, thus, it is found that the sales price in Port Townsend is never double the Seattle price.

What is the value of n
Crank

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

1). The sum of angles in a linear pair is 180°

2). In a triangle sum of two angles are equal to the exterior angle of third angle

From the figure we can see a triangle in which two exterior angles area given.

<u>To find the value of n</u>

from figure we get,

n = (interior angle of 131°  + interior angle of 160°)

interior angle of 131° = 180 - 131 = 49°

interior angle of 160° = 180 - 160 = 20°

n =  49° + 20° =  69°

Therefore the  correct answer is option D. 69°

Confusion...help please
kifflom [539]

Given:

In triangle KLM, KL = 123 cm and measure of angle K is 35 degrees.

To find:

The length of the side KM to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Solution:

In a right angle triangle,

\cos \theta =\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

In the given right triangle KLM,

\cos K=\dfrac{KM}{KL}

\cos (35^\circ)=\dfrac{KM}{123}

0.819152=\dfrac{KM}{123}

Multiply both sides by 123.

0.819152\times 123=KM

100.755696=KM

KM\approx 100.8

The measure of side KM is 100.8 cm.

Therefore, the correct option is (2).
