i used one side of the triangle because both sides are equal
Answer: 12 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
the data we have is:
Mei Su had 80 coins.
She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:
The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:
friend 1 got 1 coin
friend 2 got 2 coins
friend 3 got 3 coins
friend N got N coins
in such a way that:
(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79
I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.
We want to find the maximum possible N.
Then let's calculate:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
now we are close, lets add by one number:
55 + 11 = 66
66 + 12 = 78
now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.
Then we have N = 12
This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.
a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.
b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:
m = -2400/12 = -200.
Hence the equation is:
P(t) = -200t + 29600.
2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:
P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.
