Remove the brackets using the distributive law for the following: 5(4x - 3y) - 4(4x - 3y)

Answers

Answer:

4x - 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

5(4x - 3y) - 4(4x - 3y)

= 5 × 4x - 5 × 3y - 4 × 4x + 4 × 3y

= 20x - 15y - 16x + 12y

Suppose the population of a town is 17,400 and is growing 2% each year.
Predict the population after 9 years.

Answers

Answer: 20,532

Step-by-step explanation:

17,400(.02)=348

348(9)=3132

17,400+3132=20,532

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential growth function of the form:

[tex]y=ab^x[/tex] where a is the initial population and b is the growth rate. This could also be written as

[tex]y=a(1+r)^x[/tex] which is a bit more accurate. We'll use that one. r is the percent growth: 2% for us.

Filling in the formula:

[tex]y=17400(1+.02)^x[/tex] and then simplifying:

[tex]y=17400(1.02)^x[/tex]

That's the model for this population. Filling in any number of years for x will give you the population y. Our time is 9 years:

[tex]y=17400(1.02)^9[/tex]

Take care of the exponents first, giving us:

[tex]y=17400(1.195092569)[/tex] and then multiply to get

y = 20,794.6 or 20,794 people (since you can't have 6/10 of a person)

Answer:

A or [tex]\frac{\sqrt{6} }{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

*note- this method only works because the denominator values are being multiplied, if they were being added then there are extra steps to keep in mind but for now this is simple*

Start by dividing the root 12 in the numerator by the root 2 in the denominator

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{12} }{\sqrt{2} }=\sqrt{6}[/tex]

Then we simply substitute back in the 2 (from the denominator) that we ignored for a second to get our answer

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{6} }{2}[/tex]

*note- if you are allowed to use a calculator then you could also plug in your values to check each answer option but since this question isn't too complicated there should be no need to do so unless you forget how to solve it algebraically*

Answer:

A box-and-whisker plot. The number line goes from 25 to 50. The whiskers range from 27 to 48, and the box ranges from 32 to 45. A line divides the box at 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the five number summary which are all displayed on a box and whisker plot :

Maximum = 48

Minimum = 27

Median = 36

Upper Quartile = 45

Lower quartile = 32

Maximum and minimum values are displayed by the whiskers :

Starting point of whisker = minimum value

End point of whisker = maximum value

The quartiles are displayed by the box :

Starting point of the box = lower quartile

End point of the box = upper quartile

Line in between the box = Median

The perimeter of a rectangle is 90 feet, and the length is 32 feet. What is the width of the rectangle?
A. 26 feet
B. 13 feet
C. 58 feet
D. 15 feet

Answers

Length is 12ft, width is 4 ft.

2 x (length + width) = perimeter = 32 ft

⇒ length = 16ft - width [1]

length x width = area = 48 sq ft

Using [1] above:

⇒ (16ft - width) x width = 48 sq ft

multiplying out and rearranging:

⇒ width2 - 16 x width + 48 = 0

factorizing:

⇒ (width - 4)x(width - 12) = 0

Thus width = 4 or 12, so using [1] above:

⇒ width = 4ft, length = 16 - 4 = 12ft

or width = 12ft, length = 16 - 12 = 4ft

Convention is that the length is larger than the width, thus rectangle is 12ft long by 4 ft wide.

Answer:

15 ft

What is the Sine Rule?

The Law of Sines (also called the Sine Rule) is defined as it relates all three sides of a triangle with an angle of a triangle.

Triangle is a basic polygonal shape of a triangle that has three sides and three interior angles. It is one of the fundamental shapes in geometry.

As per the given question, the given data  as:

A = 63

B = 56

C = 61 (because these angles should add up to 180)

c = 1/2

We know that the Sine Rule,

sin 63 / a = sin 61 / .5

a = 0.51 miles

sin 56 / b = sin 61 / .5

b = 0.47 miles

Therefore, the length 0.51 miles and 0.47 miles are the distances from each observer to the sailboat.
