Answer:

0.5%/year

24.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate the average yearly increase in the percentage of first-year college females claiming no religious affiliation

Percentage of females by year:

1980 = 6.2%

1990 = 10.8%

2000 = 13.6%

2012 = 21.7%

Average yearly increase :

Percentage increase between 1980 - 2012 :

2012% - 1980% = ( 21.7% - 6.2%) = 15.5% increase over [(2012 - 1980)] = 32 years

15.5 % / 32 years = 0.484375% / year = 0.5%/year

b. Estimate the percentage of first-year college females who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030,

Given an average increase of 0.484375% / year

(2030 - 1980) = 50 years

Hence by 2030 ; ( 50 years × 0.484375%/year) = 24.218% will claim no religious affiliation.

=24.2% (nearest tenth)

Given the general identity tan X =sin X/cos X , which equation relating the acute angles, A and C, of a right ∆ABC is true?

irakobra [83]

First, note that $m\angle A+m\angle C=90^{\circ}.$ Then

$m\angle A=90^{\circ}-m\angle C \text{ and } m\angle C=90^{\circ}-m\angle A.$

Consider all options:

$\tan A=\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}$

By the definition,

$\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB},\\ \\\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC},\\ \\\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\tan A.$

Option A is true.

$\cos A=\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan (90^{\circ}-A)=\dfrac{\sin(90^{\circ}-A)}{\cos(90^{\circ}-A)}=\dfrac{\sin C}{\cos C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB}{BC},\\ \\\sin (90^{\circ}-C)=\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB\cdot AC}{BC^2}\neq \dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Option B is false.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AC}\neq \sin C.$

Option C is false.

$\cos A=\tan C.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

As you can see $\cos A\neq \tan C$ and option D is not true.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos (90^{\circ}-C)=\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AB}}=\dfrac{AB^2}{AC\cdot BC}\neq \sin C.$

This option is false.

Eva, the owner of eva's second time around wedding dresses, currently has five dresses to be altered, shown in the order in whic

cupoosta [38]

To answer this question, an assumption must be made, that Eva spends 8 hours a day working. If this is the case, then Eva will complete jobs w, x, and v on day one, for a total of six hours. Since the next job (y) requires 4 hours, she will spend two hours working that day, leaving 2 more hours to go on that job. The next day she will spend 2 hours finishing job y, completing it, and finish the longest job z (hours) that day. This means she had 4 jobs on day one, and 2 jobs on day 2 for and average of 3 jobs per day.
This answer assumes an 8 hour work day, and that Eva can start a job she cannot finish that day.

Rumor of the cancellation of final exams began to spread one day on a college campus with a population of 80 thousand students.S

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

P(t) is directly proportional to N and N'.

Where P is the increase in numbers of students who have heard the exam's cancellation rumor at any time t;

N is numbers of students who have heard the rumor of the exam's cancellation;

N' is numbers of students who have not heard the rumor of the exam's cancellation;

N' = (80 - N). Since the total number of students is 80;

K is the constant of the proportionality.

K is calculated to be 9/700

Therefore,

P(t) = KNN'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x (80 - N)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is 80. For N, N' = 80 - N.

Initially, 1 thousand people heard the rumor.

Within/after a day, the increased in number of students who have heard the rumor is P = 10 - 1 = 9

P = 9 = K x 10x (80-10)

9 = K x 10 x 70 = 700K.

Divide both sides by 700,

9/700 = (700/700)K

K = 9/700

Subtitle K into the equation P(t) = KNN'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x N'

P(t) = (9/700) x N x (80 - N), where N' = 80 - N
