Suppose you receive a postcard from a good friend with a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The postcard is 3.5

inches high and 5.5 inches wide. The fine print on the postcard states that the scale of the picture is 1:19,600. Based on the scale, what's the actual length of the Golden Gate Bridge?

Answer:

Actual length of the Bridge = 8983.33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 1 unit = 19,600.

Height of the postcard is 3.5 inches.

So, original height of the bridge = 3.5 × 19,600 = 68,600 inches

= 5716.67 feet

Width of the postcard is 5.5 inches.

So, original width of the bridge = 5.5 × 19,600 = 107,800 inches

= 8983.33 feet

Micah and Crystal purchase two movie tickets. Tickets costs $8.50 each, drinks cost $3.50 each, and boxes of candy cost $3.00 ea
AysviL [449]
2t+2d+2c=30

2(8.50)+2(3.50)+2(3.00)=$30

t representing tickets d representing drinks c representing candy

the answer really depends on how much of each item they buy

if they bought more than 2 of each just change the 2 to the number of items bought

I also need help with this problem.
nadezda [96]

We will use substitution to solve this system of linear equations, as the first equation has x and y with no coefficients, which makes it easier to find one in terms of the other. We can then substitute that value in the other equation and find the values of x and y.

x = y + 5 ---> equation 1

3x + 2y = 5 ---> equation 2

From equation 1, we get the value of x as y + 5. Using the substitution method, we can find the value of y by substituting (y+5) for x in the 2nd equation.

3(y+5) + 2y = 5

3y + 15 + 2y = 5

5y = 5 - 15

5y = -10

y = -2

Subsituting this value of y in (y+5), we can find x.

x = y + 5

x = -2 + 5

x = 3

Therefore, x = 3 and y = -2.

I will also solve this using elimination method.

Let us multiply equation 1 by 2, so that we get 2y in both equations.

2x = 2y + 10

3x + 2y = 5

Let us add both the equations.

2x + 3x + 2y = 5 + 2y + 10

5x = 15 + 2y - 2y

5x = 15

x = 3

Substituting this value of x in equation 1, we get

x = y + 5

3 = y + 5

y = 3 - 5

y = -2

Therefore, x = 3 and y = -2.

The fish population in a pond with carrying capacity 1200 is modeled by the following logistic equation where N(t) denotes the n
MArishka [77]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (dN)/(dt) = (0.4)/(1200)N(1200-N) -50

  142 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The differential equation is modified by adding a -50 fish per year constant term:

  (dN)/(dt) = (0.4)/(1200)N(1200-N) -50

__

B) The steady-state value of the fish population will be when N reaches the value that makes dN/dt = 0.

  (0.4/1200)(N)(1200-N) -50 = 0

  N(N-1200) = -(50)(1200)/0.4) . . . . rewrite so N^2 has a positive coefficient

  N^2 -1200N + 600^2 = -150,000 +600^2 . . . . complete the square

  (N -600)^2 = 210,000 . . . . . simplify

  N = 600 + √210,000 ≈ 1058

This steady-state number of fish is ...

  1200 - 1058 = 142 . . . . below the original carrying capacity

If Ethan takes out a $5,000 loan to buy a motorcycle and his payments are $168.45 a month for 36 months, how much money will he
Vilka [71]

Answer:

  $1064.20

Step-by-step explanation:

36 payments of $168.45 have a total of $6064.20. The excess over the loan amount of $5000 is the interest paid:

  $6064.20 -5000 = $1064.20 . . . . interest paid
