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

When rolling a die, what is the probability of rolling a 1 or a 4 write your answer in a fraction?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 values on a die, and we want 2 values. The fraction now is 2/6. But, wait! We can simplify this fraction: 1/3.

Side note:

I understand if you wanted just the 2/6 fraction and not simplified.

Answer: It’s the second one!

Explanation: The dot is open and pointing to the side of the numbers greater than -3. It has to be an open dot because it is “greater than -3” not “greater than or equal to-3”! :)

A transformation T : (x, y) → (x + 3, y + 1). Find the preimage of the point (4, 3) under the given transformation. (7, 4) (1, 2
motikmotik

Answer:

(1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the final shape and position of a figure after a transformation is called the image, and the original shape and position of the figure is the pre-image.

In our case, our figure is just a point. We know that after the transformation T : (x, y) → (x + 3, y + 1), our image has coordinates (4, 3).

The transformation rule T : (x, y) → (x + 3, y + 1) means that we add 3 to the x-coordinate and add 1 to the y-coordinate of our pre-image. Now to find the pre-image of our point, we just need to reverse those operations; in other words, we will subtract 3 from the x-coordinate and subtract 1 from the y-coordinate.

So, our rule to find the pre-image of the point (4, 3) is:

T : (x, y) → (x - 3, y - 1)

We know that the x-coordinate of our image is 4 and its y-coordinate is 3.

Replacing values:

                (4 - 3, 3 - 1)

                (1, 2)

We can conclude that our pre-image is the point (1, 2).

You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. can travel 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. An
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

  • <em>Blue car:</em>

<em>Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline</em>

  • <em>Red car:</em>

<em>Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline</em>

<em />

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

  • Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

  • Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline
