Answer:

19 million

Step-by-step explanation:

So generally whenever we express a exponential function, it's in the form: y=a(b)^x

where a=initial value aka when x=0

in this case, b can be expressed as: 1+r, where r is the growth rate, which in this case is 2.13%, and expressing that as a decimal (divide by 100), r=0.0213, thus b=1.0213

This gives us the following equation: y=16(1.0213)^x

To kind of give you a intuitive reason as to why this makes sense, think of that 1.0213 wrapping around the previous value.

So when x=0, it's actually just 16, since any number (besides 0) to the power of 0, equals 1.

When x=1, we get: 1.0213(16), which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 0

When x=2, we get: 1.0213(1.0213(16)), which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 1

when x=3, we get: 1.0213(1.0213(1.0213(16))), which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 2.

In other words, each year we're getting another 1.0213 to multiply by (very definition of an exponent).

So to calculate the population in 1997, we put in x=7, since it's 7 years after 1990

We get the following equation: y=16(1.0213)^7

Using a calculator this simplifies to approximately: 18.5436

Rounding this to the nearest integer would yield 19, and since the values are expressed in millions, the answer would be 19 million

Choose the abbreviation of the postulate or theorem that supports the conclusion that WAS NOT. Given: WS = NT, AS = OT, S = T.
koban [17]

Answer: The abbreviation that supports the conclusion is SAS


Step-by-step explanation:

Given WS=NT

AS=OT

S=T

We have two triangles named WAS and NOT

where we have two sides (WS=NT and AS=OT)

and an angle(S=T) equal

Since the angle is between the two sides

So the postulate that supports is SAS

i.e Side Angle Side

Let p, q, and r represent the following statements"
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$$a. Sam had pizza last night and Chris finished her homework.\\p\wedge q\\\\$b. Chris did not finish her homework and Pat watched the news this morning.$\\\neg q \wedge r\\\\$c. Sam did not have pizza last night or Chris did not finish her homework.$\\\neg p \vee \neg q\\\\

$$d. Either Chris finished her homework or Pat watched the news this morning, but not both.$\\q\vee r\\\\$e. If Sam had pizza last night then Chris finished her homework.$\\p \rightarrow q\\\\$f. Pat watched the news this morning only if Sam had pizza last night.$\\p\leftrightarrow r\\\\

$$g. Chris finished her homework if Sam did not have pizza last night.$\\\neg p \rightarrow q\\\\$h. It is not the case that if Sam had pizza last night, then Pat watched the news this morning.$\\\neg (p\rightarrow r)\\\\

$$i. Sam did not have pizza last night and Chris finished her homework implies that Pat watched the news this morning.$\\(\neg p \wedge q) \Rightarrow r\\\\ $j. q\Rightarrow r$\\Chris finished her homework implies that Pat watched the news this morning.\\\\

$$k. p \Rightarrow (q \wedge r)$\\Sam has pizza last night implies that Chris finished her homework and Pat watched the news this morning.$\\\\

$$l. \neg p \Rightarrow (q \vee r)$\\Sam did not have pizza last night implies that Chris finished her homework or Pat watched the news this morning.$\\\\

$$m. r \Rightarrow (p \vee q)$\\Pat watched the news this morning implies that Sam had pizza last night or Chris finished her homework$
