Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial value of the population is 650
Each year the population increases 160
The population oscillates 19 above and below.
Due to this information you can assume that the function is:
where for t=0 p(t)=650
where t=12 160/12 (12) = 160
you can assume that the sinusoidal function has a period of one month. Thus, the population oscillates several times in one year with an amplitu of the oscillation of 19. The, w is:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x -y = -5
3x +y = -11
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want two linear equations. Since you know a point on each line, the only thing you need to choose is the slope of the two lines through that point. We can make the slopes be +1 and -3, for example. Then the point-slope equations are ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
y -1 = +1(x +4)
y -1 = -3(x +4)
We can use these equations "as is", or put them in whatever form you like. I personally prefer "standard form:" ax+by=c.
<u>First equation</u>:
y -1 = x +4 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-5 = x -y . . . . . . . keep positive x term, put x and y together, separate from the constant
x - y = -5 . . . . . . standard form
<u>Second equation</u>:
y -1 = -3x -12 . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x +y = -11 . . . . . . add 3x+1 to both sides
