Answer:
19 million
Step-by-step explanation:
So generally whenever we express a exponential function, it's in the form:
where a=initial value aka when x=0
in this case, b can be expressed as: , where r is the growth rate, which in this case is 2.13%, and expressing that as a decimal (divide by 100), r=0.0213, thus b=1.0213
This gives us the following equation:
To kind of give you a intuitive reason as to why this makes sense, think of that 1.0213 wrapping around the previous value.
So when x=0, it's actually just 16, since any number (besides 0) to the power of 0, equals 1.
When x=1, we get: , which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 0
When x=2, we get: , which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 1
when x=3, we get: , which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 2.
In other words, each year we're getting another 1.0213 to multiply by (very definition of an exponent).
So to calculate the population in 1997, we put in x=7, since it's 7 years after 1990
We get the following equation:
Using a calculator this simplifies to approximately:
Rounding this to the nearest integer would yield 19, and since the values are expressed in millions, the answer would be 19 million
I don't know if we can find the foci of this ellipse, but we can find the centre and the vertices. First of all, let us state the standard equation of an ellipse.
(If there is a way to solve for the foci of this ellipse, please let me know! I am learning this stuff currently.)
Where
is the centre of the ellipse. Just by looking at your equation right away, we can tell that the centre of the ellipse is:
Now to find the vertices, we must first remember that the vertices of an ellipse are on the major axis.
The major axis in this case is that of the y-axis. In other words,
So we know that b=5 from your equation given. The vertices are 5 away from the centre, so we find that the vertices of your ellipse are:

I really hope this helped you! (Partially because I spent a lot of time on this lol)
