Answer:
(a) 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W
(b) Baker's Field
Step-by-step explanation:
The locations are all within a 7-mile square, so we will make the assumption of a flat Earth with parallel longitude lines. Then the "central" location will be the weighted average of the latitude and longitude coordinates.
(a)Total population is 16000 +22000 +36500 = 74,500. For purposes of the arithmetic, we will subtract 43 from latitude and 70 from longitude, then multiply each fraction by 10. Similarly, we will divide each population by 1000.
The weighted average location is found from ...
(16/74.5)(6.769, 3.717) +(22/74.5)(5.781, 3.222) +(36.5/74.5)(6.795, 4.447)
= (1.4537, 0.7983) +(1.7071, 0.9515) +(3.3291, 2.1787) = (6.490, 3.928)
The center of gravity is about 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W.
__
(b)The coordinate differences from the center of gravity are (in (°lat, °long)) ...
Baker's Field: (0.0294, -0.0101)
Lonesome Acres: (-0.1371, -.0072)
Clearly, Baker's field is closer to the site of part (a).
_____
Additional comment
Distance calculations could be refined further by considering that a degree of longitude at this latitude represents about 0.72 times the distance of a degree of latitude. In this problem, the location of Lonesome Acres has a latitude difference that is several times any of the other coordinate differences, so it is clearly much farther away from the desired location.
The calculations done here are a sort of first-level approximation. The least-significant digits in the coordinates represent a distance of less than 50 feet. If you really want accuracy to that level, then the (approximately) spherical shape of the Earth needs to be accounted for. As a second-level approximation, some reference point needs to be identified, and coordinates in miles (or feet) need to be expressed in relation to that reference. The best accuracy would be obtained using spherical trigonometry to identify the distances.
We expect any school that is constructed to be somewhat larger than 50 feet in any direction, so accuracy to the 4th decimal place in these locations is probably not required--except to satisfy some answer-checker.

We are doing height above shadow height. Since the telephone poll is 40 feet high with a 32 feet shadow, it is 40/32. We know the sign casts a 12 1/2 shadow, so this will be our denominator. h is our unknown, so we will have h / 12 and a half as our second fraction for our ratio.

The sum of the first 15 terms of a geometric sequence with 7 as the first term and a common ratio of -3 is __________.
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is
Sn = s1(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
with r being the common ratio and s1 is the first term.
so,
S15 = 7×(1 - (-3)¹⁵)/(1 - -3) = 7×(1 - -14,348,907)/4 =
= 7×14,348,908/4 = 7×3,587,227 = 25,110,589

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Bob purchased 2 hot dogs and 1 hamburger for S10. Later that day, Bob had to purchase more food and
Bot 1 hot dog and 3 hamburgers for S15. What were the prices of the hamburger and hot dogs?
Answer:
Hotdog: $3.00
Hamburger: $4.00
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first time that Bob buys food, we can make an equation to find how much a single hotdog and a single hamburger costs, where:
x = cost of a hotdog
y = cost of a hamburger
He bought 2 hotdogs and 1 hamburger for $10, so the equation for his first time buying food is:
2x + y = 10
For the second time buying food, he bought 1 hotdog and 3 hamburgers for $15, so his equation would be:
x + 3y = 15
To find the value for x and y we need to solve this system of equations using the two equations we just came up with. We can do this multiple ways, but I'll be demonstrating the substitution method.
Using the second equation, we can solve for x by simply subtracting 3y from both sides:
x = 15 - 3y
We can then insert this value of x into the first equation so that way we are only dealing with one variable to solve - y:
2(15-3y) + y = 10
Distribute out the 2 into the paratheses, combine like terms, and then solve for y:
30 - 6y + y = 10
30 - 5y = 10
-5y = -20
y = 4
This means the cost for one hamburger is $4. But we still need to find the price of one hotdog, so we can insert this value of y into the equation we came up with earlier for x, and then solve for x:
x = 15 - 3y
x = 15 - 3(4)
x = 15 - 12
x = 3
So the price of one hotdog is $3 and the price of one hamburger is $4. Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:
They make $10 profit an hour.
A researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is studying the growth of a certain bacteria. He starts his experiment with 200 bacteria that grow at a rate of 2% per hour. He will check on the bacteria every 7 hours. How many bacteria will he find in 7 hours? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.
An exponential function is given by:
y = abˣ
where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.
Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.
Given that he starts his experiment with 200 bacteria, hence
a = 200
The bacteria grow at a rate of 2% per hour, hence:
b = 100% + 2% = 1.02
The exponential equation becomes:
y = 200(1.02)ˣ
After 7 hours:
y = 200(1.02)⁷ = 230
The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.
