The answer for is a) x=12
The dough for the world's largest pizza was baked in 5,234 batches. Suppose it took the chefs 3 hours to bake the first 327 batches, and they bake the rest of the batches at the same rate. How long would it take to bake all the batches? Explain your reasoning.
A) Determine an equation for the population with respect to the number of years after
2014
, assuming that the population increases at a constant rate.
Solution
The function will be of the form
p
=
a
r
n
, where
a
is the initial population,
r
is the rate of increase,
n
is the time in years and
p
is the population.
p
=
584
,
513
(
1.0002
)
n
b) Using this model, estimate the population of Wyoming in
17
years.
solution
Here,
n
=
17
.
p
=
584
,
513
(
1.002
)
17
p
=
604
,
708
c) Using this model, determine in how many years it will take for the population to exceed
600
,
000
.
