Y= 250000-8750t

3.5 percent of 250000 is 8750, if that’s the amount decreasing each (t) years, you multiply that number by number of years taken into account.

A piece of land is shaped like a right triangle. Two people start at the right angle at the same time, and walk at the same spee
sweet [91]

Answer:

1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the triangle = A = ¹/₂ab

where a is the distance covered by the first person and b is the distance covered by the second person. since they walk at the same speed, then a = b, so our formula can be changed to A = ¹/₂x²

now we find the derivative of both sides:

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ dx²/dt

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ 2x ⋅ dx/dt

dA/dt = x ⋅ dx/dt = x ⋅ velocity

we are told that x = 5 m, and dA/dt = 5 m²/s

velocity = dA/dt / x

velocity = 5 m²/s / 5 m = 1 m/s

Y is between points p and b. pt= 15 and tb = 10. what is pb
Kruka [31]
PT = 15, and TB = 10 

Take the 15 from PT, and add the 10 from TB. Which equals 25. 

PB = 25 

So, 25 is your answer. 

Hope this helps! ☺

A chemist examines 15 geological samples for potassium chloride concentration. The mean potassium chloride concentration for the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.376-2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.375    

0.376+2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.377    

And we are 95% confident that the true mean of chloride concentration is between 0.375 and 0.377 cc/ cubic meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

\bar X=0.376 represent the sample mean for the chloride concentration

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=0.0012 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since we need to find the critical value first we need to begin finding the degreed of freedom

df=n-1=15-1=14

The Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the significance would be \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and the critical value for this case with a t distribution with 14 degrees of freedom is t_{\alpha/2}=2.145

And the confidence interval is:

0.376-2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.375    

0.376+2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.377    

And we are 95% confident that the true mean of chloride concentration is between 0.375 and 0.377 cc/ cubic meter

Graph -3x + 9y = -27​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step you want to do is get one variable by itself. We are going to start by isolating y by itself.

-3x + 9y = -27

9y = 3x - 27

y = 1/3x - 3

By isolating y by itself, you now have a function written in slope-intercept form. To graph this function, you can draw a point at (0,-3), then use rise/run to go up 1 unit and over 3 units to the next point (3,-2). You can then draw a line based on this information.

A church rings its bells every 15 minutes, the school rings its bells every 20 minutes and the day care center rings its bells e
ankoles [38]

Answer:

As few as just over 345 minutes (23×15) or as many as just under 375 minutes (25×15).

Imagine a simpler problem: the bell has rung just two times since Ms. Johnson went into her office. How long has Ms. Johnson been in her office? It could be almost as short as just 15 minutes (1×15), if Ms. Johnson went into her office just before the bell rang the first time, and the bell has just rung again for the second time.

Or it could be almost as long as 45 minutes (3×15), if Ms. Johnson went into her office just after the bells rang, and then 15 minutes later the bells rang for the first time, and then 15 minutes after that the bells rang for the second time, and now it’s been 15 minutes after that.

So if the bells have run two times since Ms. Johnson went into her office, she could have been there between 15 minutes and 45 minutes. The same logic applies to the case where the bells have rung 24 times—it could have been any duration between 345 and 375 minutes since the moment we started paying attention to the bells!
