Answer: r = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be represented as $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Plugging in the following values would provide you with:

$\frac{(r)-(-5)}{(5)-(2)} =2$

$\frac{r + 5}{3} = 2$

$r + 5 = 6$

$r = 1$

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate on anything.

A forestal station receives the locations of two fires, one of them in a forest located 11 Km heading N69°W from the station. Th

loris [4]

Answer:

30.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two fires can be found using the Law of Cosines. For ΔABC in which sides 'a' and 'b' are given, along with angle C, the third side is ...

c = √(a² +b² -2ab·cos(C))

The angle measured between the two fires is ...

180° -(69° -35°) = 146°

and the distance is ...

c = √(11² +21² -2(11)(21)cos(146°)) ≈ √945.015

c ≈ 30.74

The straight-line distance between the two fires is about 30.7 km.

The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

$P=400000(2^t)-40000t$

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of mosquitoes is 400000, and they double each day. This represents an exponential growth equation. If t represent days and P represent the population of the mosquitoes, hence this can be represented by the equation:

$P=400000(2^t)$

Also, the predators eat the mosquitoes at a rate of 40,000 mosquitoes/day. This means that each day, the mosquitoes reduce by 40000t, therefore this can be represented by:

$P=400000(2^t)-40000t$
