The number of streetlights in a town is growing linearly. Four months ago (n = 0) there were 130 lights. Now (n = 4) there are 1

46 lights. If this trend continues, a. Find an explicit formula for the number of lights in month n b. How many months will it take to reach 200 lights?

Easy
find equation
y=mn+b
for n=0, y=130
130=m0+b
130=b

y=mn+130
also
n=4 for 146
146=4m+130
minus 130 both sides
16=4m
divide by 4 both sides
4=m


y=4n+130

find n for y=200

200=4n+130
minus 130 both sides
70=4n
divide both sides by 4
17.5=n

answer is 17.5 months

13.5 months

146-130=16

16/4=4

200-146=54

54/4=13.5

How do you convert fractions to decimals?​
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

divide the fractions

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say we have 23/5

we can divide 23 by 5 and get a decimal of 4.6

or lets say we got 1/5

divide 1 by 5 and you will get 0.2

Find the absolute extrema of the function over the region R. (In each case, R contains the boundaries.) Use a computer algebra s
algol [13]

<em>f(x, y)</em> = <em>x</em> ² - 4<em>xy</em> + 5

has critical points where both partial derivatives vanish:

∂<em>f</em>/∂<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 0   ==>   <em>x</em> = 2<em>y</em>

∂<em>f</em>/∂<em>y</em> = -4<em>x</em> = 0   ==>   <em>x</em> = 0   ==>   <em>y</em> = 0

The origin does not lie in the region <em>R</em>, so we can ignore this point.

Now check the boundaries:

• <em>x</em> = 1   ==>   <em>f</em> (1, <em>y</em>) = 6 - 4<em>y</em>

Then

max{<em>f</em> (1, <em>y</em>) | 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 2} = 6 when <em>y</em> = 0

max{<em>f</em> (1, <em>y</em>) | 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 2} = -2 when <em>y</em> = 2

• <em>x</em> = 4   ==>   <em>f</em> (4, <em>y</em>) = 12 - 16<em>y</em>

Then

max{<em>f</em> (4, <em>y</em>) | 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 2} = 12 when <em>y</em> = 0

max{<em>f</em> (4, <em>y</em>) | 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 2} = -4 when <em>y</em> = 2

• <em>y</em> = 0   ==>   <em>f</em> (<em>x</em>, 0) = <em>x</em> ² + 5

Then

max{<em>f</em> (<em>x</em>, 0) | 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 4} = 21 when <em>x</em> = 4

min{<em>f</em> (<em>x</em>, 0) | 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 4} = 6 when <em>x</em> = 1

• <em>y</em> = 2   ==>   <em>f</em> (<em>x</em>, 2) = <em>x</em> ² - 8<em>x</em> + 5 = (<em>x</em> - 4)² - 11

Then

max{<em>f</em> (<em>x</em>, 2) | 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 4} = -2 when <em>x</em> = 1

min{<em>f</em> (<em>x</em>, 2) | 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 4} = -11 when <em>x</em> = 4

So to summarize, we found

max{<em>f(x, y)</em> | 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 4, 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 2} = 21 at (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 0)

min{<em>f(x, y)</em> | 1 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 4, 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 2} = -11 at (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 2)

I need help i dont understand how to do this!!​
Schach [20]

Answer:

16, see below :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can use the pythagorean theorem because one of the angles is 90 degrees. According to the theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a is 12, b is unknown, and c is 20

Now we use the theorem

12^2 + b^2 = 20^2

144 + b^2 = 400

b^2 = 256

b = sqrt(256)

b = 16
