g The population of Little Townville in 2005 was 13,625 people. In 2009 the population grew to 15,325 people. Assume that this trend is linear and the population has been growing like this since 2000. a. Write a function for the population, P, in terms of the number of years since 2000, ????. (6 points) b. What is the slope of the function and what does it represent in the context of the problem. Include units. (5 points) c. What is the vertical intercept of the function and what does it represent? Include units (5 points) d. What do you believe the population was in 2015?
Answer:
a) [tex]P(t) = 11500 + 425t[/tex]
b) The slope is of 425 people, which is by how much the population increases each year.
c) The vertical intercept is of 11500 people, and it represents the population of Little Townville in the year 2000.
d) 17,875 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function that measures population after t years has the following format:
[tex]P(t) = P(0) + at[/tex]
In which P(0) is the vertical intercept, which represents the initial population, and a is the slope, which represents the yearly population.
a. Write a function for the population, P, in terms of the number of years since 2000.
The first step is finding the slope.
Finding the slope:
The slope is the change in the output divided by the change in the input, during a period of time.
The population of Little Townville in 2005 was 13,625 people. In 2009 the population grew to 15,325 people.
This means that in 2009 - 2005 = 4 years, the population increased by 15325 - 13625 = 1700.
So the slope is
[tex]a = \frac{1700}{4} = 425[/tex]
So
[tex]P(t) = P(0) + 425t[/tex]
Finding the initial population:
We want to find P(0), which is the population in 2000. The population of Little Townville in 2005 was 13,625 people, which means that [tex]P(5) = 13625[/tex]. So
[tex]P(t) = P(0) + 425t[/tex]
[tex]13625 = P(0) + 425*5[/tex]
[tex]P(0) = 13625 - 425*5[/tex]
[tex]P(0) = 11500[/tex]
So
[tex]P(t) = 11500 + 425t[/tex]
b. What is the slope of the function and what does it represent in the context of the problem. Include units.
The slope is of 425 people, which is by how much the population increases each year.
c. What is the vertical intercept of the function and what does it represent? Include units
The vertical intercept is of 11500 people, and it represents the population of Little Townville in the year 2000.
d. What do you believe the population was in 2015?
2015 is 2015 - 2000 = 15 years after 2000, so this is P(15).
[tex]P(15) = 11500 + 425*15 = 17875[/tex]
17,875 people.
What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−1,−1) and has a slope of −6?
Answer: y= -6x -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Point slope formula : y-y1=m(x-x1)
y- (-1)=-6(x- (-1))
y+1= -6(x+1)
y+1= -6x-6

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6/9+x=7/10
x=7/10-6/9
when adding fractions both denominators must be equal, we’ll make them 90
x=(7/10)(9/9)-(6/9)(10/10)
x=63/90-60/90
x=3/90, the greatest divisor of 3 and 90 is 3 so divide both the numerator and denominator by 3
x=(3/3)/(90/3)
x=1/30

Answer:
The median is 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the median of the set of values.
First, we need to write the set in ascending order.
We get:
1 five times
2 three times
3 five times
4 two times
5 seven times
6 four times
The median will be the midle value (for example in a set of 5 elements, the middle element is the third one) of this set, then the first part is to write the set, we get:
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6}
In this set we have
5 + 3 + 5+ 2 +7 + 4= 26 values
So we will not have a middle value, we need to take the mean of the two middle values (the 13th value and the 14th value)
We can see in the set above that these values are:
3 and 4.
Then we want to take the mean between 3 and 4.
We get:
M = (3 + 4)/2 = 3.5
The median of this set is 3.5

Find angle picture below.
Answer:
Angle M = 63
Angle N = 96
Step-by-step explanation:
By exterior angle of triangle:
Angle M + Angle N = 159
(4y+3)+(6y+6)=159
y = 15
Angle M = 4y + 3 = 4(15) + 3 = 63
Angle N = 6y + 6 = 6(15) + 6 = 96
A person who is standing on a ledge throws a rock into the air. The rock reaches a maximum height of 676 feet
above the ground after 1.5 seconds.
If the rock hits the ground below the ledge 8 seconds after it is thrown, which quadratic function can be used to find
the height of the rock above the ground t seconds after it is thrown?
Answer:
The quadratic equation is [tex]h(t) = -318.22t^2 + 954.67t + 12728.89[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex of a quadratic function:
Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:
[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]
It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, y_{v})[/tex]
In which
[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}[/tex]
Where
[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]
If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]y_{v}[/tex].
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
[tex]ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0[/tex].
This polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}[/tex] such that [tex]ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})[/tex], given by the following formulas:
[tex]x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta= b^{2} - 4ac[/tex]
Quadratic equation:
[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]
The rock reaches a maximum height of 676 feet above the ground after 1.5 seconds.
This means that:
[tex]-\frac{b}{2a} = 1.5[/tex]
[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a} = 676[/tex]
If the rock hits the ground below the ledge 8 seconds after it is thrown
This means that:
[tex]64a + 8b + c = 0[/tex]
Relation of b and a:
[tex]-\frac{b}{2a} = 1.5[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]b = -3a[/tex]
Relationship of c and a:
[tex]64a + 8b + c = 0[/tex]
[tex]64a - 24a + c = 0[/tex]
[tex]c = -40a[/tex]
Finding a:
[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{(-3a)^2-4a(-40a)}{4a} = 676[/tex]
[tex]9a^2+160a = -2704a[/tex]
[tex]9a^2 + 2864a = 0[/tex]
[tex]a(9a + 2864) = 0[/tex]
Since it is a quadratic equation, a cannot be 0.
[tex]9a + 2864 = 0[/tex]
[tex]9a = -2864[/tex]
[tex]a = -\frac{2864}{9}[/tex]
[tex]a = -318.22[/tex]
Finding b and c:
[tex]b = -3a = -3(-318.22) = 954.67[/tex]
[tex]c = -40a = -40(-318.22) = 12728.89[/tex]
The quadratic equation is given by:
[tex]h(t) = -318.22t^2 + 954.67t + 12728.89[/tex]
The quadratic equation is [tex]h(t) = -318.22t^2 + 954.67t + 12728.89[/tex]

A city planner is studying the need for affordable housing in the city's Urban Planning Department. He learned from the census of all 75,342 households in the city that the median family income is $65,000, with an average of 2.9 persons-per-household, and 88% live in a single household unit. Previously, the planner had surveyed a group of 400 randomly selected households in the city. The surveyed households had a median family income of $52,000, an average of 3.2 persons per household, and 80% lived in a single household unit. 2
(a) For city planner's survey, identify the population and the sample,
Population: (Choose one)
Sample: (Choose one)
(b) Choose whether each number described below is a parameter or a statistic for the city planner's survey,
Number Parameter Statistic
The 80% of the group of randomly selected households that live in a single household unit
The average of 2.9 personer household of all the households in the city The $65,000 median family income of all the households in the city At a TV assembling facility, the Quality Assurance (QA) department tested a random selection of 600 TV's assembled in March.
Answer:
Population = 75,342 households
Sample = 400 randomly selected households
The percentage who live in a single household unit = Parameter
The average of 2.9 person per household of all households in the city = parameter
The $65,000 median family income of all the households in the city = Parameter
Step-by-step explanation:
The population refers to all the entire elements, observations or subject which fits into a particular study. In the scenario above, the entire household in the city of study. That is, the 75,342 households.
The sample is the subset of the population which is a smaller set of observation meant to be representative of the larger population. The sample here is the 400 randomly selected households.
Parameter differs from statistics in that numerical estimates or calculations obtained from the population is called the parameter while the numerical characteristics derived from the sample is called statistic.
In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of probability to calculate the chances of choosing a TV approved by the quality control, so:
400 randomly selected households
So, based on the information given in the statement, we have:
Population = 75,342 householdsSample = 400 randomly selected householdsSome parameters for this equation are:
The percentage who live in a single household unit The average of 2.9 person per household of all households in the cityThe $65,000 median family income of all the households in the cityThe inhabitants of a place refers to all the complete essential feature, attention or subject that fits into the study. In the sequence of events above, the complete household fashionable the city of study. That is, the 75,342 households.
The sample exist the subset of the inhabitants of a place that exist a tinier set of comment on something scrutinized intend expected representative of the best inhabitants of a place. The sample in this place happen the 400 carelessly picked households.
