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)

Chen is baking muffins and banana bread for a brunch buffet. He needs 3 and one-fifth cups of flour to make the muffins and 3 an

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

7 cups of flour

reason:

to find how much flour is needed, first you need to combine the two fractions.
to add the fractions, you first have to find a common denominator, which in this case is 15
multiply 1/5 by 3 to get 3/15, and 2/3 by 5 to get 10/15. combined, this is 13/15
since the answer is looking for the best estimate, you take the overall amount of flour, which would be 6 13/15, which is closer to 7 cups than 6

(I may be wrong this is just how I did it)

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

<h3>Negative (negative 20) = 20</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Shana temperature = -20°C

°If Pearls temperature is opposite that of Shana's then Pearls temparature = -(-20) = 20°C

Hence the correct way to represent "the opposite of Shana's temperature is equal to Pearl's

Opposite of shana = -(-20°C)

Pearls temperature = +20°C

Since Opposite of shana = Pearls temperature, hence -(-20°C) = 20°C

If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b (x) = StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot, what is the domain of (b circle a) (x)?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$[1,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

$a(x)=3x+1$

Since we want to know the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ , let's first consider the domain of the inside function, that is, that of $a(x)=3x+1$ . Every polynomial function has domain all real numbers.

So we can plug anything for function $a$ and get a number back.

Now the other function is going to be worrisome because it has a square root. You cannot take square root of negative numbers if you are only considering real numbers which that is the case with most texts.

Let's find $(b \circ a)(x)$ and simplify now.

$(b \circ a)(x)$

$b(a(x))$
