Answer:

After 15 years both the colleges will have same number of students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The enrollment at sunshine College has been increased by 45 students per year. Currently, sunshine College has 1100 students attending.

So, after x years the number of students of this college will be (1100 + 45x).

Again, Marigold college currently has 2000 students, but its enrollment is decreasing in size by an average of 15 students per year.

So, after x years the number of students of this college will be (2000 - 15x).

If those two colleges have the same number of students after x years, then we can write

1100 + 45x = 2000 - 15x

⇒ 60x = 900

⇒ x = 15 years.  

Therefore, after 15 years both the colleges will have the same number of students. (Answer)

A environmental initiative has the goal of saving at least 25 2525 million hectares of rainforest through both planting trees an
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares by purchasing land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of land used for planting trees and <em>Y</em> represent the amount of land purchased.

The goal of the environmental initiative is to save at least 25 million hectares of rain forest.

That is:

<em>X</em> + <em>Y</em> = 25....(i)

Now it is provided that:

  • The cost of planting trees is $ 400 per hectare.
  • The cost of purchasing land is $ 260 per hectare.
  • The initiative has a budget of $8,250 million.

Using the above data it can be said that:

400<em>X</em> + 260<em>Y</em> = 8250....(ii)

Solve equations (i) and (ii) simultaneously.

\ \ \ \ x+y=25]\times 260\\400x+260y=8250\\\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\260x+260y=6500\\400x+260y=8250\\(-)\_\_\_\_\_\ (-)\_\_\_\_(-)\_\_\_\\\\\Rightarrow\\\\-140x=-1750\\\\x=\frac{1750}{140}\\\\x=12.5

Then the value of <em>y</em> is:

x+y=25\\y=25-x\\y=25-12.5\\y=12.5

Thus, the possible way for the initiative to accomplish its goal without exceeding its budget is use 12.5 hectares for planting trees and 12.5 hectares for purchasing land.

A polynomial function has a root of -4 with multiplicity of 4, a root of -1 with multiplicity of 3, and a root of 5 with multipl
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

To draw this graph, we start from the left in quadrant 3 drawing the curve to -4 on the x-axis to touch it but not cross. We continue back down and curve back around to cross the x-axis at -1. We continue up past -1 and curve back down to 5 on the x-axis. We touch here without crossing and draw the rest of our function heading back up. It should form a sideways s shape.


Step-by-step explanation:


A polynomials is an equation with many terms whose leading term is the highest exponent known as degree. The degree or exponent tells how many roots exist. These roots are the x-intercepts.


This polynomial has roots -4, -1, and 5. This means the graph must touch or cross through the x-axis at these x-values. What determines if it crosses the x-axis or the simple touch it and bounce back? The even or odd multiplicity - how many times the root occurs.


In this polynomial:


Root -4 has even multiplicity of 4 so it only touches and does not cross through.


Root -1 has odd multiplicity of 3 so crosses through.


Root 5 has even multiplicity of 6 so it only touches and does not cross through.


Lastly, what determines the facing of the graph (up or down) is the leading coefficient. If positive, the graph ends point up. If negative, the graph ends point down. All even degree graphs will have this shape.


To draw this graph, we start from the left in quadrant 3 drawing the curve to -4 on the x-axis to touch it but not cross. We continue back down and curve back around to cross the x-axis at -1. We continue up past -1 and curve back down to 5 on the x-axis. We touch here without crossing and draw the rest of our function heading back up. It should form a sideways s shape.

Angle A and B are supplementary. Angle a has a measure of 80. What is the measure of angle B? The measure of angle B is
ololo11 [35]
Well when two angles are supplementary they equal 180.
So if angle A is 80 degrees then that would mean that angle B equals 100 degrees.

Mia’s work to find the slope of a trend line through the points (3, 10) and (35, 91) is shown below.
pochemuha
For this case the first thing you should know is that by definition the slope of the line is given by:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 Where we have two ordered pairs:
 P1 = (x1, y1)
 P2 = (x2, y2)
 We observe then that according to the formula, the error of mine was to invert the numerator with the denominator.
 Answer: 
 C: Mia switched the numerator and the denominator.
