Answer:
a) 35%
b) 6.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The annual number of burglaries in 2012 would be 150% and since in 2013, it fell by 10%:
10% of 150 is 15 so 150-15 = 135%.
The actual percentage increase of burglaries is 135% - 100% = 35% not 40%.
b) In the second year, the percentage would have to decrease by 10% of the initial 150% so [tex]\frac{10}{150}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex] which as a percentage would be 6.66666....% or 6.67%.
The number of burglaries actually changed in the two-year period will be 35% and the crime have to decrease in the second year in order for the change over the two-year period to actually be a 40% increase will be 6.7%
BurglariesIt is act of breaking and entering a dwelling at night to commit a felony such as theft.
How to solve this problem?The steps are as follow:
Let us assume that the annual number of burglaries in 2011 are 100. After that there is 50% increase in 2012 so the number of burglaries will be: 100(1.50) = 150.Burglaries after the 10% reduction in 2013 would be: 150(.90) = 135So there will be change in burglaries over the two-year period = (135 / 100) - 1 = 35% To know how much burglaries would have to reduce in order to have a 40% change in burglaries we would be using the following formula:(x - 100) / 100 = 0.40
x - 100 = 40
x = 140
Change in burglaries over the two-year period to have 40% increase = (140 / 150) - 1 = 6.7%So, burglaries after the 10% reduction in 2013 would be 35% and change in burglaries over the two-year period to have 40% increase will be 6.7%.

Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse ≈ 39.7 cm
Explanation:
Since the given triangle is a right-angled triangle, this means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.
The equation for Pythagorean calculation is:
(hypotenuse)² = (first leg)² + (second leg)²
In the given, we have:
first leg = 30 cm
second leg = 26 cm
Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the hypotenuse as follows:
(hypotenuse)² = (30)² + (26)²
(hypotenuse)² = 1576
This means that:
either hypotenuse = √1576 = 39.69 ≈ 39.7 cm ..........> accepted
or hypotenuse = -√1576 = -39.69 ......> rejected as length can't be negative

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!
1) Find the circumference and Area
2) Find the Perimeter and Area
Thank you so much!
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) We know that the circumference of a circle can be found using the formula [tex]c=\pi d[/tex], so for this circle the circumference will be [tex]c=3.14 \times 40=125.6 \text{ yards}[/tex]. The formula for the area of a circle is [tex]A=\frac{1}{4}\pi d^2[/tex], so the area of this circle will be [tex]A=\frac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times 40^2=1256 \text{ yards}[/tex].
2) First we'll work out the length of the curved side of the shape. That's [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times\pi d =\frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 12=18.84 \text{ mm}[/tex]. Then, we'll add the length of the other two straight sides to get [tex]10.82 \times 2 + 18.84=40.48 \text{ mm}[/tex]. Next: the area of the semi-circle is [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} \pi d^2 = \frac{1}{8} \times 3.14 \times 144 = 56.52 \text{ mm}[/tex]. Adding this to the areas of the two triangles: [tex]56.52+2 \times \frac{1}{2}bh=56.52+(\sqrt{10.82^2-9^2)}\times9 \approx 110.57 \text{ to 2 d.p.}[/tex]

Answer:
C. 16π
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to know the area of a circle whose radius is twice the edge of a cube that has a surface area of 24 square units.
AreaThe relevant area formulas are ...
As = 6s² . . . . . . area of cube with edge s
Ac = πr² . . . . . . area of circle with radius r
ApplicationHere, we have r = 2s, so the area of the circle is ...
Ac = π(2s)² = 4πs²
And we have the area of the square as 24, so the value of s² is ...
As = 24 = 6s²
24/6 = 4 = s²
Using this in the circle area expression, we have the area of the circle as ...
Ac = 4π(4) = 16π . . . . . square units
The area of the circle is 16π square units.

Volume of rectangle and triangle problem. The one that has no answer
Answer:
6825 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
First break the shape into two shapes a square prism and triangular prism
the volume of a square prism is equal to s^2 * h
and the volume of a triangular prism is 1/2 b * l *h
square prism:
v = s^2 * h
v = 13^2 * 30
v = 5070 in^3
triangular prism:
v = 1/2 b * l * h
v = 1/2 * 9 * 30 * 13
v = 1755 in^3
then you add the two volumes to get the total volume
5070 + 1755 = 6825 in^3
Otis measured the heights of several sunflowers. He found that their heights were 1, 4, 6, 9, and 10 feet. Otis found that the mean was 6 feet and the range was 9 feet. Which numbers describe the center and spread of this data set?
Answer: 6 feet describes the center, and 9 feet describes the spread
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of a data set is mostly considered as the median or the mean
Here mean is 6 (given). And median is also 6. As 6 is exactly at the middle of the data set. (When arranged in ascending order)
Now, one of the way of calculating the spread is calculating the range, here it's given that the range is 9.
Therefore, 6 feet describes the center, and 9 feet describes the spread is correct.
what is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to line y= -1/2x -2 and passes through the point (0,-4)?
Answer:
[tex]y = 2x -4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 2\ \ \ \ \ \ (0, -4)[/tex]
To find the perpendicular equation of a line,
You need the product of their gradients to be -1
[tex]-\frac{1}{2} \times ? = -1[/tex]
Divide both sides by [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
? = 2
The gradient of the perpendicular line is 2
Straight line formula is in the form [tex]y = mx + c[/tex]
[tex]y = 2x + c[/tex]
We're nearly there, we just need to find out c.
Luckily, we're given a point [tex](0, -4)[/tex]
[tex](x, y) = (0, -4)[/tex]
[tex]y = 2x + c[/tex]
[tex]-4 = 2(0) + c\\-4 = 0 + c\\c = -4[/tex]
We then end up with...
[tex]y = 2x -4[/tex]

Find the time it takes for the ball to cover 13ft:
[tex]x=(24\cos48^\circ)t\\13=(24\cos48^\circ)t\\t\approx0.8095[/tex]
Find the height of the ball at the time it takes for the ball to cover 13ft:
[tex]y=6.1+(24\sin48^\circ)t-16t^2\\y=6.1+(24\sin48^\circ)(0.8095)-16(0.8095)^2\\y\approx10.053[/tex]
Thus, A) 10.053 is the correct answer
Problem #3

[tex]\displaystyle\theta=tan^{-1}\biggr(\frac{y}{x}\biggr)=tan^{-1}\biggr(\frac{-8}{2}\biggr)\approx-75.964^\circ[/tex]
Find the true direction angle accounting for Quadrant IV:
[tex]\theta=360^\circ-75.964^\circ=284.036^\circ[/tex]
Write the complex number in polar/trigonometric form:
[tex]z=8.246(\cos284.036^\circ+i\sin284.036^\circ)[/tex]

[Function] Substitute in x = 1:∴ our point is equal to [tex]\displaystyle \bigg( 1, \frac{1}{e} \bigg)[/tex].
Substituting in our variables we found into the point-slope form general equation, we get our final answer of:
[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{ y - \frac{1}{e} = \frac{-1}{e} \bigg( x - 1 \bigg) }[/tex]
∴ we have our final answer.
