The rate at which people learn about a secret is directly proportional to the number of people who know the secret. If two peopl

Answer:

between 222 and 223 days

Step-by-step explanation:

This relation includes the point (0, 2).

A proportional relation must include the point (0, 0).

This is not proportional, but it may be linear.

Points: (0, 2), (2, 20)

y = mx + b

20 = (20 - 2)/(2 - 0) × 2 + b

20 = 18/2 × 2 + b

b = 2

y = 18x + 2

When 4000 people know, y = 4000.

y = 18x + 2

4000 = 18x + 2

3998 = 18x

x = 3998/18

x = 222.111...

Answer: between 222 and 223 days

Answer:

Yes, the farmer have enough paint to complete the​ job.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a gas storage tank is in the shape of a right circular cylinder.

The radius of the base is 2 ft and the height of cylinder is 3 ft.

The total surface area of a cylinder is

S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2

Total surface area of gas storage tank is

S=2\pi (2)(3)+2\pi (2)^2

S=12\pi+8\pi

S=20\pi

S=62.8318530718

S\approx 62.83

The total surface area of gas storage tank is 62.83 square feet.

The farmer has 1 gallon of paint and 1 gallon of paint will cover 162 square​ feet.

Since 62.83<162, therefore 1 gallon of paint is enough to paint the gas storage.

Hence the required statement is Yes, the farmer have enough paint to complete the​ job.

A circle is a geometric object that has symmetry about the vertical and horizontal lines through its center. When the circle is a unit circle (of radius 1) centered on the origin of the x-y plane, points in the first quadrant can be reflected across the x- or y- axes (or both) to give points in the other quadrants.

That is, if the terminal ray of an angle intersects the unit circle in the first quadrant, the point of intersection reflected across the y-axis will give an angle whose measure is the original angle subtracted from the measure of a half-circle. Since the measure of a half-circle is π radians, the reflection of the angle π/6 radians will be the angle π-π/6 = 5π/6 radians.

Reflecting 1st-quadrant angles across the origin into the third quadrant adds π radians to their measure. Reflecting them across the x-axis into the 4th quadrant gives an angle whose measure is 2π radians minus the measure of the original angle.
