Answer:

Option: B is correct.

( b. 761,307 )

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

The number of private investigators is expected to increase from 52,000 in 2006 to 61,000 in 2016.

i.e. the percentage increase is given by:

$\dfrac{61000-52000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{9000}{52000}\times 100\\\\=17.3\%$

Now it is given that:

There are 648,982 police officers in 2006.

so the number of police officers in 2016 will be:

$117.3\% \times 648982\\\\=\dfrac{117.3}{100}\times 648982\\\\=761255.886$

Hence, number of police officers in 2016 to have a greater percent increase than that of private investigators is:

Option:b 761,307

(Since in all the other option the value is less than the estimated value i.e. 761255.886 )

A lot is in the shape of a triangle. One side is 100 ft longer than the shortest side, while the third side is 700 ft longer tha

vaieri [72.5K]

We have the next information

x= the shortest side measure

y= the second side measure

y=x+100

z= the third side measures

z=x+700

We know also that the perimeter is 2900 ft

Therefore the equation for the perimeter of the triangle will be

$P=x+y+z$ $2900=x+x+100+x+700$

we sum like terms

$2900=3x+800$

then we isolate the x

$3x=2900-800$ $3x=2100$ $x=\frac{2100}{3}=700$

therefore

x=700ft

y=700+100=800ft

z=700+700=1400ft

The lengths of the sides of the lote are 700 ,800, and 1400 ft,

A standard showerhead in Reyna's house dispenses 9 gallons of water per minute. Reyna changed this showerhead to an energy-savin

yarga [219]

48 gallons... since the first shower head gives 9 gallons per minute you multiply 9 by 8 then you use the equation and multiply 3 by 8 then you subtract the two shower heads

Using the quadratic formula to solve 4x2 – 3x + 9 = 2x + 1, what are the values of x?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The value of x is:

$x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{103}i}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

The equation is given as:

$4x^2-3x+9=2x+1$

which could also be written as:

$4x^2-3x+9-2x-1=0\\\\4x^2-3x-2x+9-1=0\\\\\\4x^2-5x+8=0$

The quadratic formula for the quadratic equation of the type:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$ is given as:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Here we have:

a=4, b=-5 and c=8.

Hence, by the quadratic formula we have:

$x=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4\times 8\times 4}}{2\times 4}\\\\x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{25-128}}{8}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{103}i}{8}$

Hence, the value of x is:

$x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{103}i}{8}$
