Read the passage below and summarise it in a minimum of 100 words:

Until a hundred years ago as humans, we had a simple, uncomplicated biological connect. It was a straightforward equation: we drew roughly 3,000 calories each of energy out of the Earth for our food and life’s sustenance. Today that number per capita has grown to 100,000 calories. We still need only 3,000 calories each to nourish life itself. All the rest of this energy is what we extract from the Earth for everything else besides keeping ourselves alive. In some countries, like the US; this per capita number runs at over 200,000 calories! Some of us are concerned about this.

We fret over what we could and should really be doing to soften this abuse of resources. Little things fox us in the welter of things that we get to read. What is sustainable development? How can it be started in our homes? Beyond the ceremonial planting of green arid getting people to run marathons of various lengths in support of the environment, is there- more that we can add to the abstract value of “sustainability”? What are the little things we can do in our day-to-day lives, to reduce demand for things that people make and market? Of course, we know that it helps to avoid a plastic bag when you can use a newspaper bag, or a brown bag, or even a jute bag which you can use for many more years, unlike a plastic bag which you throw away in less than a week or after a few uses.

However, there’s actually quite a bit more than you and I can do without compromise on comfort, with very little as cost incurred, with financial savings that you can gain on energy and water use, and with solutions that are very feasible and within your reach. It is possible to understand our ecological footprint and its disastrous consequences, not merely in terms of our own behaviour as consumers, but really in terms of the impact on the environment we make.

Answer 1

Answer:

Find the summary below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The article compares the standard of healthy living some hundred years ago to what is obtainable in our world today. While the energy gained through food consumption some years ago was just adequate and at the right proportion, what is consumed today, supplies energy that is on an all-time high. This misuse of resources led to the development of sustainable development practices such as planting of trees, exercise routines which are done occasionally.

Another sustainable practice that can be done on a more regular basis is the use of jute or paper bags which are more biodegradable, instead of plastic bags. Finally, the article encourages the adoption of more sustainable practices because they can be more economical compared to the other practices that are presumed to be the status quo.

What is property of parallel lines?

Properties of Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal

For the parallel lines cut by a transversal, the following properties hold true:

Two lines cut by a transversal line are parallel if the corresponding angles so formed are equal. In general, the corresponding angles are in relative positions and lie along the same side of the transversal.Two lines cut by a transversal line are parallel if the alternate interior angles so formed are equal. In general, the pairs of the alternate interior are found in the inner side but lie on the opposite sides of the transversal.Two lines cut by a transversal line are parallel if the alternate exterior angles so formed are equal. In general, the pairs of alternate exterior angles are found on the outer side but lie opposite each other.

As,

angle 3 = angle 1    (Corresponding angle)

angle  3 = angle 6  ( alternate interior angle)

angle 3= angle 8  (vertically opposite angle)

But there is no relation between angle 3 and angle 2.

all of the points in the picture are on the same line.

Find the slope on the like exain or show your reasoning

write and equation for the line.

find the values for A and B. Explain your reasoning. ​

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✍️Slope of the line using two points, (2, 2) and (6, 10),

[tex] slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{10 - 2}{6 - 2} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 [/tex]

✍️To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, we need to find the y-intercept (b).

Substitute x = 2, y = 2, and m = 2 in y = mx + b, and solve for b.

2 = (2)(2) + b

2 = 4 + b

2 - 4 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

Substitute m = 2 and b = -2 in y = mx + b.

✅The equation would be:

[tex] y = 2x + (-2) [/tex]

[tex] y = 2x - 2 [/tex]

✍️To find the value of a, plug in (a, 8) as (x, y) into the equation of the line.

[tex] 8 = 2(a) - 2 [/tex]

[tex] 8 = 2a - 2 [/tex]

Add 2 to both sides

[tex] 8 + 2 = 2a [/tex]

[tex] 10 = 2a [/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex] \frac{10}{2} = a [/tex]

[tex] 5 = a [/tex]

a = 5

✍️To find the value of b, plug in (4, b) as (x, y) into the equation of the line.

[tex] b = 2(4) - 2 [/tex]

[tex] b = 8 - 2 [/tex]

[tex] b = 6 [/tex]

This graph represents a transformation of the parent cube root function.

Answers

Answer: h is 5 and k is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the transformed of the parent cube root function is

y = ∛(x-4) - 1.

How to know if a point lies in the graph of a function?

All the points (and only those points) which lie on the graph of the function satisfy its equation.

Thus, if a point lies on the graph of a function, then it must also satisfy the function.

The given graph represents a transformation of the parent cube root function.

The Parent cube root function is

y = ∛(x -h) - k

where the value of h  and k is equal to 0

h=0, k=0 in parent function

The graph changes direction at (0,0) in parent function.

From the given graph we can see that the graph changes direction at (4,-1) which means the graph is shifted 4 units to the right and 1 unit down

So, the value of h=4  and value of k=1

The equation of the transformed function,

y = ∛(x-4) - 1

You recently discovered that your job provides a 25% matching towards your retirement.
If you deposit $300 each month into a retirement account with an APR of 8.99%, what
would you type in Excel to find the balance after 30 years?

Answers

Answer:

What is typed in the attached Excel file is =FV(B4,B5,-B3,0,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of future value of an ordinary annuity.

Since we want to find the balance after 30 years, the function in the Excel is the FV function which is used to calculate the future value (FV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:

=FV(rate,nper,-pmt,0,0) …………………… (1)

rate = Monthly interest rate = APR / 12 = 8.99% / 12 = 0.0899 / 12 = 0.00749166666666667. Note: This is typed in cell B4 in attached excel file.

nper = periods = number of months = 30 years * 12 months = 360. Note: This is typed in cell B5 in attached excel file.

pmt = monthly payment = $300. Note: This is typed in cell B3 in the attached excel file. And also typed as a negative value in cell B7, i.e. as -B3.

pv = present value = 0. Note: This is the first 0 typed in cell B7 in the attached excel file.

type 0 = 0 this is typed to indicate that deposit is made at end of period as a regular or ordinary annuity. This is the second 0 typed in cell B7 in the attached excel file.

Based on the above, the FV function in equation (1) above is converted to the following which is typed in the attached Excel file to find the balance after 30 years:

=FV(B4,B5,-B3,0,0)

The above then gives a future value of $548,080.11 which is  the balance after 30 years.

Homer is 30 feet below sea level and Marge is 45 feet above sea level. Bart’s elevation is at the exact midpoint of those two values. What is the expression that model this problem, and which is Bart’s elevation?

Answers

Answer:

14.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the midpoint is halfway from 30 to 45 so be(bart elevation) b.e = 45 - 30 / 2

Answer:

7.5 m above sea level

__________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

The elevation of Homer = -30 feet                         [30 feet below sea level]

The elevation of Marge = +45 feet                         [45 feet above sea level]

The elevation of Bart is at the exact mid-point of the elevations of Homer and Marge

The elevation of Bart:

We are given that the elevation of Bart is at the exact mid-point of the elevations of Homer and Marge

So, Half the distance between the elevation of Homer and Marge is the elevation of Bart

Elevation of Bart (with respect to the elevation of Homer) =

(elevation of Marge - Elevation of Homer) / 2

replacing the variables with the suitable values:

(+45 - (-30))/2

(45 + 30) / 2

75 / 2

Elevation of Bart (w.r.t. Homer) = 37.5 feet

Since this is the elevation of Bart with respect to Homer, we can say that Bart is 37.5 m above Homer

So, we can say that:

Elevation of Bart (w.r.t Homer) = Elevation of Bart - Elevation of Homer

replacing the values

37.5 = Elevation of Bart -(-30)

37.5 = Elevation of Bart + 30

Elevation of Bart = 7.5 m above sea level [subtracting 30 from both sides]
