Remark

Not many per square mile. Sounds like an ideal place to live.

Step One

Find the number of Square Miles.

Area = Height * Width

Area = 380 * 200

Area = 76,000 square miles.

Step Two

Find the Density

<u>Formula</u>

Density = Population / Square Miles

Population = 814,000 people

Square miles = 76000

Solve

Density = 814000/76000 = 10.7 people per square mile.

Remark

Isn't that incredible. It means if all the Area of South Dakota were given to the people living there, each family of 4 would get roughly 1/2 a square mile.

Carmen lives in Maine and pays 5% in sales tax. She just bought $70 in
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Carmen pays 5% tax on everything she buys, and has made a purchase of $ 70.

But they also tell us that there is $ 25 of that purchase that will not be charged with taxes.

Therefore, what will be charged with taxes will be:

70-25 = 45

Now we must know how much is 5% of 45 and that we can find out by multiplying 45 by 0,05:

45.0,05 = 2,25

Now that we know that the tax was 2.25, we just have to add it to the total purchase to find out how much Carmen paid:

2.25 + 70 = 72.25

Therefore, the total value of the purchase is 72.25.

Factor the polynomial expression 15x^2 - 2x - 8
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

15 x^2 - 2 x - 8

Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)

Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

The function below shows the number of car owners f(t), in thousands, in a city in different years t: f(t) = 0.25t^2 - 0.5t + 3.
Bingel [31]
The average rate of change (m) is the ratio of the change in function value to the width of the interval:
  m = (f(6) - f(2))/(6 - 2)

To compute this, we need to compute f(6) and f(2).
  f(6) = (0.25*6 -0.5)*6 +3.5 = 9.5
  f(2) = (0.25*2 - 0.5)*2 +3.5 = 3.5
Then the average rate of change is
  m = (9.5 - 3.5)/(6 - 2) = 6/4 = 1.5

The average rate of change is 1.5 thousand owners per year.
