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

In graph, the area below f(x) is shaded and labeled A, the area below g(x) is shaded ad labeled B, and the area where f(x) and g
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The graph represents the system of inequalities y ≤ -3x + 2 and y ≤ -x + 2 ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure

∵ The direction of each line is to left

∴ The slopes of the lines are negative

∵ The slope of the line is the coefficient of x

∴ The coefficient of x in each inequality is negative ⇒ (1)

∵ The two lines intersect the y-axis at the point (0, 2)

∴ The y-intercept of the two lines is (0, 2)

∵ The y-intercept is the numerical term in the equation

∴ The numerical term in each inequality is 2 ⇒ (2)

∵ The two lines are solids

∵ The shaded area of each one is under the line

∴ The sign of inequality in both equations is ≤ ⇒ (3)

→ Look at the answer and find which one has the 3 conditions above

∵ y ≤ -3x + 2 and y ≤ -x + 2

∴ m = -3 and m = -1 ⇒ negative coefficients of x

∴ b = 2 ⇒ numerical term

∵ The sign of inequality is ≤

∴ The graph represents the system of inequalities y ≤ -3x + 2 and y ≤ -x + 2

Answer:

diagonal = = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the diagram attached to this solution:

Let the Length of the rectangular board = a

Let the width = b

Let the diagonal = d

where:

a = 10 inches

b = 8 inches

d = ?

Triangle ABC in the diagram is a right-angled triangle, therefore, applying Pythagoras theorem:

(hypotenuse)² = (Adjacent)² + (Opposite)²

d² = 10² + 8²

d² = 100 + 64

d² = 164

∴ d = √(164)

d = 12.806 inches

d = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)

<em>N:B Rounding off to the nearest tenth of an inch is the same as rounding off to 1 decimal place.</em>

Find the solution for the system of linear equations by elimination: 2x+y=9,3x-y=16
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

(-5,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=9 -> y=-2x+9

3x-y=16

3x-(-2x+9)=16

3x+2x-9=16

5x-9=16

5x-9 (+9)=16 (+9)

5x=25

x=5

no plug in 5 to x in any equation above

2(5)+y=9

10+y (-10)=9 (-10)

y=-1

so the answer is (-5,-1)

hope it's correct! and hope i helped
