Given:
The population, P, of six towns with time t in years are given by the following exponential equations:
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv) 
(v) 
(vi) 
To find:
The town whose population is decreasing the fastest.
Solution:
The general form of an exponential function is:
Where, a is the initial value, b is the growth or decay factor.
If b>1, then the function is increasing and if 0<b<1, then the function is decreasing.
The values of b for six towns are 1.08, 1.12, 0.9, 1.185, 0.78, 0.99 respectively. The minimum value of b is 0.78, so the population of (v) town is decreasing the fastest.
Therefore, the correct option is b.
For the law of sines, you would apply it in this particular problem like so:
Since P is 27, its angle is 33 and Q's length is 40; you would set it up like this
<u />40/SinQ = 27/Sin33, multiply 40 with Sin33, then it would be 40Sin33, then divide it by 27. The result should be 40Sin33/27 = X
<span>Answer:
Its too long to write here, so I will just state what I did.
I let P=(2ap,ap^2) and Q=(2aq,aq^2)
But x-coordinates of P and Q differ by (2a)
So P=(2ap,ap^2) BUT Q=(2ap - 2a, aq^2)
So Q=(2a(p-1), aq^2)
which means, 2aq = 2a(p-1)
therefore, q=p-1
then I subbed that value of q in aq^2
so Q=(2a(p-1), a(p-1)^2)
and P=(2ap,ap^2)
Using these two values, I found the midpoint which was:
M=( a(2p-1), [a(2p^2 - 2p + 1)]/2 )
then x = a(2p-1)
rearranging to make p the subject
p= (x+a)/2a</span>
Complete question :
The latter is leaning against the building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 9 feet less than the length of the ladder finally put the ladder in the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building 15 feet. Find length of the ladder.
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
From Pythagoras :
Hypotenus = sqrt(opposite² + adjacent²)
From the diagram
l = sqrt((l-9)² + 15²)
l² = (l² - 18x + 81 + 225)
Square both sides
l² = l² - 18x + 306
l² - l² = 306 - 18x
18l = 306
l = 306/18
l = 17
Answer:
The equation is 7 + x = -10
The answer to this equation is x = -17
Step-by-step explanation:
The way we find this answer is by subtracting 7 from both sides.
We do this because we want x by itself.
so -7 + (-10) is -17
The end result is -17.
