The population in the year 2020 is 4628

<h3>How to determine the population?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Initial, a = 12910

Rate, r = 5%

Since the population decreases, then we make use of an exponential decay function.

This is represented as:

f(n) = a * (1 - r)^n

So, we have:

f(n) = 12910 * (1 - 5%)^n

Evaluate the difference

f(n) = 12910 * 0.95^n

2020 is 20 years from 2000.

So, we have:

f(20) = 12910 * 0.95^20

Evaluate

f(20) = 4628

Hence, the population in the year 2020 is 4628

Answer:

$C(s) = 6s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s}\\\text{where s is the side of base.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A storage shed is to be built in the shape of a (closed) box with a square base.

Volume = 150 cubic feet

Let s be the edge of square base and h be the height.

Volume of cuboid =

$l\times b\times h$

where l is the length, b is the base and h is the height.

Volume of box =

$s^2h = 150\\\\h = \dfrac{150}{s^2}$

Area of base =

$\text{side}\times \text{side} = s^2$

Cost of concrete for the base = $4

Cost of base($) = $4s^2$

Area of roof =

$\text{side}\times \text{side} = s^2$

Cost of material for the roof = $2

Cost of roof ($) = $2s^2$

Area of 4 walls =

$4\times (sh)\\=4sh$

Cost of material for the side = $2.50

Cost of material of side($) =

$2.50\times 4s(\dfrac{150}{s^2})\\\\=\dfrac{1500}{s}$

Total cost

= Cost of base + Cost of 4 sides + Cost of roof

$C(s) = 4s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s} + 2s^2\\\\C(s) = 6s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s}$

is the required cost function.
