Answer:
The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700
Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:
p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)
p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000
p = 700t - 1397300
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is the ratio of the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line.
If coordinates of any two points of a line are given then the rate of change is the ratio of the change in the y-coordinates to the change in the x-coordinates.
The answer is C) collateral
<u>Answer:</u>
Zero
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following expression and we are to determine what is the sign of its product:
One of the three terms in the expression is positive while one is negative. So if we start multiplying the two terms from the left side. we will get a negative number.
But when we will multiply it with zero, the whole product will become zero as anything times zero is always zero. Therefore, answer will be zero.
