Answer:

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.

 We know:

 Length of the hypotenuse

 Angle between the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse.

 We want to know:

 Length of the base.

 For this we use the following trigonometric relationship:

 cos (15) = \frac{x}{500}cos(15)=500x

 Clearing x we have:

 x = 500 * cos (15) x = 482.96x=500∗cos(15)x=482.96

 Rounding to the nearest tenth of a meter:

 x = 483.0 mx=483.0m

 Answer:

 The horizontal distance she has covered is:

 x = 483.0 mx=483.0m

In 2005 the population of a district was 35.700 with a continuous annual growth rate of approximately 4%, what will the populati
denpristay [2]

Given:

Population is 2005 = 35,700

growth rate = 4% = 0.04

To find:

The population in 2030.

Solution:

The general exponential growth model is

y=a(1+r)^t

where, a is initial value, r is growth rate and t is time in years.

Let the initial year is 2005. So, number of years between 2005 to 2030 is

2030-2005=25

Putting a=35,700, r=0.04 and t=25 in the above model.

y=35,700(1+0.04)^{25}

y=35,700(1.04)^{25}

y=35,700(2.665836)

y=95170.3452

Approximate the value to the nearest whole number.

y\approx 95,170

Therefore, population of the district will be about 95,170.

Solve 7x-2y=11 for y
Leni [432]

Answer:

y = 7/2x -11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-2y=11

Subtract 7x from each side

7x-2y -7x = -7x+11

-2y = -7x+11

Divide each side by -2

-2y/-2 = -7x/-2 +11/-2

y = 7/2x -11/2

QM Q6.) Write the​ slope-intercept equation of the function f whose graph satisifies the given conditions.
vichka [17]
Greetings!

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope
b is the y- intercept

What we need to do is to re-arrange 2x - 9y - 18 = 0. We wanna make it looks like y = mx + b

So, the equation is:

2x - 9y - 18 = 0

Subtract 2x - 18 from both sides

→ -9y = -2x + 18

Since we want y, we need to divide both sides by -9

\frac{-9y}{-9} =  \frac{-2x + 18}{-9}

Thus,

y = 2/9 x - 2 which is in the slope intercept form

Slope m = 2/9 and the y-intercept is = - 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular is:

m_{perpendicular} = -  \frac{1}{m}

m_{perpendicular} = -  \frac{1}{2/9 }  = - 9/2

Thus,

The equation of the function is:

y = - \frac{9}{2} x - 2

PLEASE HELP ME IN MATHS !!!!!

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula tells you the diameter is 2 times the radius. Pick some values for radius and multiply them by 2 to get the diameter. The graph will be a straight line through the origin with a slope of 2.

(Strictly speaking, the graph should not extend to negative values, as negative values for radius and diameter make no sense in the real world.)

__

We did not put unit labels (cm, feet, yards, km, light-years, etc.) on the graph axes. For a slope of 2, the graph needs the same units on both axes. They can be whatever units of distance you might choose.
