Question 442993: i have two word problems that i cannot figure out:
1. The estimated number of international visitors to the U.S. each yr. in millions can be estimated and projected by the formula V=2.18t+ 46.46, where t is the number of years since 2004. find the number of visitors in 2007.
2. From a base elevation of 9600 ft. Long's peak in Colorado rises to a summit elevation of 14,255ft. from the base to the peak the horizontal distance is 15,840 ft.. find the grade of long's peak, expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth.
thank you so much!
my name is lee, i need a math tutor here in the sac. area, or online that is accessible often. i can pay $10.00 a hour or a little more only, i am a single parent with three children, and attend class online.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. The estimated number of international visitors to the U.S. each yr. in millions can be estimated and projected by the formula V=2.18t+ 46.46, where t is the number of years since 2004. find the number of visitors in 2007.
------------
V(t) = 2.18t+ 46.46
t = 3 in 2007.
V(3) = 2.18*3+46.46 = 53
------------------------------
2. From a base elevation of 9600 ft. Long's peak in Colorado rises to a summit elevation of 14,255ft. from the base to the peak the horizontal distance is 15,840 ft.. find the grade of long's peak, expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth.
-----
grade = rise/run = (14255-9600)/15840 = 0.2939 = 29.4%
