Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common ratio, you compare a few pairs of consecutive terms, by dividing an element by its predecessor.
12 / 72 = 1/6
2 / 12 = 1 / 6
1/3 / 2 = 1 / 6
The ratio is constant... so that's your common ratio to go from one term to the next.
To go from one term to the next, you have to multiply by 1/6.
Answer:
The population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population in t years after 2012 is given by:

In what month and year will the population reach 34,200?
We have to find t for which P(t) = 34200. So



Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:



In this question:

So 
Then



We only take the positive value.
134 years after 2012.
.14 of an year is 0.14*365 = 51.1. The 51st day of a year happens in February.
So the population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.
