The population of a small town in central Florida has shown a linear decline in the years 2002-2012. In 2002 the population was 34200 people. In 2012 it was 29300 people. A) Write a linear equation expressing the population of the town, P , as a function of t , the number of years since 2002. Include the entire equation as your answer.
B) If the town is still experiencing a linear decline, what will the population be in 2015?

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius

: )

f(y)= y^2-10y+25

step-by-step explanation:

we are given scale of 2 units.

on graph paper the space is 2.5 cm.

length of glass = 8 units.

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units.

each 2 unit is = 2.5cm.

therefore,

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units = 2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5= 10cm.
