The equation y=123.1(1.065)* models the number of college students (in thousands) who studied abroad each year from 1998 through

2013. In this equation, y is the
number of students from a certain country studying abroad (in thousands) and x represents the number of years after 1998.
a. Estimate the number of students studying abroad in 2003.
b. Assuming this equation continues to be valid in the future, use this equation to predict the number of students studying abroad in 2018.

The estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2003 is 169 and the estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2018 is 433

<h3>a. Estimate the number of students studying abroad in 2003.</h3>

The function is given as:

y = 123(1.065)^x

Where x represents years from 1998 to 2013

2003 is 5 years from 1998.

This means that

x = 5

Substitute the known values in the above equation

y = 123(1.065)^5

Evaluate the exponent

y = 123 * 1.37008666342

Evaluate the product

y = 168.520659601

Approximate

y = 169

Hence, the estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2003 is 169

<h3>b. Assuming this equation continues to be valid in the future, use this equation to predict the number of students studying abroad in 2018.</h3>

2018 is 20 years from 1998.

This means that

x = 20

Substitute the known values in the above equation

y = 123(1.065)^20

Evaluate the exponent

y = 123 * 3.52364506352

Evaluate the product

y = 433.408342813

Approximate

y = 433

Hence, the estimate of the number of students studying abroad in 2018 is 433

Jacqueline will spend a fair spinner with the numbers 0 1 2 3 and 4 a total of three times if event a spinner lands on numbers a
WITCHER [35]

Events are said to be INDEPENDENT if the occurence of one does not rest or depend on the outcome of another. Therefore, since the outcome of event A and B does not depend on each other, then both events are INDEPENDENT

Giving a brief description of the options given :

• Dependent events are simply events where the outcome of one event affects the occurence of the other. This is usually related to selection without replacement, where the number of subjects changes after each selection.

• Mutually Exclusive events simply refers to a scenario whereby two events cannot occur simultaneously. For instance, obtaining a head and a tail simultaneously during a single coin throw.

• Complement events describes two exactly opposite events. For instance, the Complement of obtaining a 4 on a 6 - sided die roll is (1, 2, 3, 5, 6)

For the event described above , the occurrence of A does not hinder the occurrence of the other (not a dependent event ) and it is possible to have both events simultaneously (not Mutually exclusive) (If we have 3 in all throws then both events have occurred )

Therefore, the best description for events A and B is that both events are INDEPENDENT.

Please help me.I tryed to solve
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

x \ge 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The number line

Required

Interpret

On the number, we have the following observations;

(1) The thick line starts from 1

(2) The line points to the right; this means greater than or/equals to

(3) The dot on 1 is a closed circle; this means greater than or equal to

So, the inequality is:

x greater than or equal to 1

i.e.

x \ge 1

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence. Then find the fifth term in the sequence.
mr_godi [17]
The sequence:  a 1 = - 4,  a 2 = 8,  a 3 = -16,...
a 2 = a 1 * r
8 = - 4 * r
r = 8 : ( - 4 ) 
r = - 2
a n = a 1 * r^(n-1)
a 5 = - 4 * ( - 2 ) ^4 = - 4 * 16 = - 64
Answer:
The fifth term in the sequence is - 64.

What is 10/9 closer to 1, 1/2
Serga [27]

Answer:

It is closer to 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, 10/9 is the same thing as 1 1/9.

Draw a number line:

                                  1/2                               1

--|------|------|------|-----|---|---|------|------|------|-----|-----

0/9  1/9   2/9  3/9  4/9  5/9  6/9  7/9  8/9  9/9

Halfway between 4/9 and 5/9 is the same as 1/2 and 9/9 is the same as 1.

You can see that 1/9 is way closer to 1/2 than 1.

So, 10/9 is closer to 1/2.

(There are other ways to solve this, but this way is easiest for me!)
