Given the bar graph above, the difference in monthly electric cost appear to be great because of the choice of scale.

In scaling, the narrower the intervals of the axis, the larger the graph and the more highlighted the relative difference between the components of the graph.

Conversely, the wider the the intervals of the axis, the smaller the graph and the less highlighted the relative difference between the components of the graph.

Therefore, to make the difference in monthly electric cost appear not to be as great, we widden the intervals on the y-axis.
i.e. 'The interval on the y-axis could be changed to count by 20s.'

The answer is A) The scale on the y-axis could be changed to 0–150.

Because the y-axis starts at 95, it makes it seem like the change is huge but it's not actually.

Pleasantburg has a population growth model of P(t)=at2+bt+P0 where P0 is the initial population. Suppose that the future populat

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in t years after 2012 is given by:

$P(t) = 0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000$

In what month and year will the population reach 34,200?

We have to find t for which P(t) = 34200. So

$P(t) = 0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000$

$0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000 = 34200$

$0.8t^{2} + 6t - 15200 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$0.8t^{2} + 6t - 15200 = 0$

So $a = 0.8, b = 6, c = -15200$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = 6^{2} - 4*0.8*(-15100) = 48356$

$t_{1} = \frac{-6 + \sqrt{48356}}{2*0.8} = 134.14$

$t_{2} = \frac{-6 - \sqrt{48356}}{2*0.8} = -141.64$

We only take the positive value.

134 years after 2012.

.14 of an year is 0.14*365 = 51.1. The 51st day of a year happens in February.

So the population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.

A swimmer can swim 50.2 meters in 1 minute. How far can he swim in half an hour? *

belka [17]

Answer:

1506meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1hour-60minutes

which means half an hour is 30minutes,so it's more like they are asking you to find how far the swimmer can swim in 30minutes

50.2-1min

x -30min

x=50.2×30

x=1506meters

The Cool Company determines that the supply function for its basic air conditioning unit is S(p) = 40 + 0.008p3 and that its dem

myrzilka [38]

We are given the functions:

S (p) = 40 + 0.008 p^3 ---> 1

D (p) = 200 – 0.16 p^2 ---> 2

T o find for the price in which the price of supply equals demand, all we have to do is to equate the two equations, equation 1 and 2, and calculate for the value of p, therefore:

S (p) = D (p)

40 + 0.008 p^3 = 200 – 0.16 p^2

0.008 p^3 + 0.16 p^2 = 160

p^3 + 20 p^2 = 20,000

p^3 + 20 p^2 – 20,000 = 0

Calculating for the roots using the calculator gives us:

p = 21.86, -20.93±21.84i

Since price cannot be imaginary therefore:

p = 21.86

John needs 13 bottles of water from the store. john can only carry 3 at a time. what's the minimum number of trips john needs to

Lostsunrise [7]

The minimum amount of trips would be 5. This is because in one trip he can only carry 3, so you would take 5 times 3. You may think it should be 4 trips, but 12 is 1 short of 13,so you would have to make one extra trip to get all 13 bottles.
