a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.
b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:
m = -2400/12 = -200.
Hence the equation is:
P(t) = -200t + 29600.
2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:
P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.

Answer: x = 39 because 39 + 102 = 141 and 180 - 141 = 39
<h3>
Answer: (2x)^3</h3>
Work Shown:
x = some unknown number
2x = twice the number
(2x)^3 = cubing the previous result
If you want to simplify this expression, then you would get 8x^3 since 2^3 = 8.
Answer:
you need to rotate this angle and by the theme they give either by clockwise or anti-clockwise because this image here is rotational.
(√3 + √11)² + (√3 - √11)²
- (a+b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
- ( a - b )² = a² + b² - 2ab
<em>Now </em><em>,</em>
(√3 + √11)² + (√3 - √11)²
(3 + 11 + 2√3√11)+ (3 +11 - 2√3√11)
14 + 2√33+ 14 - 2√33
14 + 14 = 28
Hence , The value of (√3 + √11)² + (√3 - √11)² is 28 .
