I need help with this math problem ASAP please an explanation too

The population at Bishop High School is 2000 students in 2011. Every year the population decreases by 50 students

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Let p be the population at t be the number of years since 2011. Then, $p=2000-50t$

The projected population of the high school in 2015=1800
In <u>2019</u> the population be 1600 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The population at Bishop High School students in 2011 =2000

Also, Every year the population decreases by 50 students which implies the rate of decrease in population is constant.

So, the function is a linear function.

Let p be the population at t be the number of years since 2011.

Then, $p=2000-50t$

So at t=0, p=2000

In year 2015, t=4, substitute t=4 in the above equation ,we get

$p=2000-50(4)\\\Rightarrow\ p=2000-200\\\Rightarrow\ p=1800$

Hence, the projected population of the high school in 2015=1800

Now, put p=1600 in the function , we get

$1600=2000-50t\\\Rightarrow50t=2000-1600\\\Rightarrow50t=400\\\Rightarrow\ t=\frac{400}{50}\\\Rightarrow\ t=8$

Now, 2011+8=2019

Hence, in <u>2019</u> the population be 1600 students

If the following system of equations was written as a matrix equation in the form AX = C,? and matrix A was expressed in the for

Tomtit [17]

The value of the expression a - b + c + d will be 7.

<h3>What is the matrix?</h3>

A matrix is a specific arrangement of items, particularly numbers. A matrix is a row-and-column mathematical structure. The a_{ij} element in a matrix, such as M, refers to the i-th row and j-th column element.

The system of equations are given below.

5x + 7y = 7

3x - 2y = 9

Then the equations can be written in the form of matrix. Then we have

$\begin{bmatrix}5 & 7 \\3 & -2 \\\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x \\y \\\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}7 \\9 \\\end{bmatrix}$

Then the value of a, b, c, and d will be

a = 5, b = 3, c = 7, and d = -2

Then the value of the expression will be

a - b + c + d = 5 - 3 + 7 - 2

a - b + c + d = 12 - 5

a - b + c + d = 7

A rectangular pool is 6 meters wide and 8 meters long. If you swim diagonally across the pool, how many meters would you be swim

Vitek1552 [10]

If you swim diagonally across the rectangular pool, the distance you swim is 10 meters.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Length of rectangle = 8 meters

To determine the distance you swim in meters, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem since the width is along the x-axis while the length is along the y-axis.

Note: The diagonal side of the rectangular pool represents the hypotenuse.

Mathematically, Pythagorean's theorem is given by the formula:

$Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2$
