Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question
STEP 1: Write the general equation of an ellipse

STEP 2: Identify the parameters
the length of the major axis is 2a
the length of the minor axis is 2b

STEP 3: Get the equation of the ellipse

STEP 4: Pick the nearest equation from the options,
Hence, the equation of the ellipse in the image is given as:

OPTION A
Part A: The first thing you should do is to graph both lines. Notice that one is of positive slope and another of negative slope.
The solution of the inequation system is given by the shaded region. That is, all the points that are in the shaded region satisfy the system of inequations.
Part B: the point (-2, -2) is NOT included in the solution area (it is not in the shaded region.
Mathematically it is demonstrated by substituting inequalities and seeing that they are not satisfied
inequality 1 -2 <4 (-2) - 2
-2 <-10 (false)
inequality two -2> = - (5/2) (- 2) - 2
-2> = 3 (false).
Answer:
(a) P(t) = 12100*(1.04^t)
(b) in 2008, estimate of population is 16560 (to the nearest integer)
Step-by-step explanation:
Population in 2000, P(0) = 12100
Growth rate = 4% each year
(a) function model for the t year after 2000 (exponential model)
P(t) = 12100*(1.04^t)
(b) for 2008,
P(2008-2000)
= P(8)
= 12100*(1.04^8)
= 12100 * 1.368569
= 16559.7
= 16560 (nearest integer)
