Answer:

Option D) P represents the population in year 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

C(t) = P(1 +r)^t

where C(t) represents the population of Centerville at year t, where P is the initial population and r is the rate of increase.

If we put t = 0 in the given function, we have,

c(0) = P(1+r)^0 = P

Hence, it could be said  P represents the population in year 0 or P is the initial population.

Hence, Option D) is the correct statement.

The correct statements are:

A) r is the rate by which the population increases

B)  The value of C depends on starting population, r the rate of increase of population and year.

C) r cannot be less than zero

Answer:

P represents the population in year 0 ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the exponential growth function

- The exponential growth function is f(x) = a (1 + r)^t, where a is the initial

  amount (at t = 0), (1 + r) is the factor of growth , r is the rate of growth

  in decimal ant is the time of growth

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The function C(t) = P(1 + r)^t represents the population of

  centerville at year t, where P is the initial population and r is the

  rate of increase

- Ex: If your investment is increased 10% annually, then that means

 each year, your total has multiplied itself by 110% (the growth factor

 is 1 + 10/100 = 1.1)

∴ (1 + r) is the factor grows each year

∵ C(t) = P(1 + r)^t

∴ C depends on P(starting population) , r(the increasing rate and

   t(the time in year)

∵ r is the rate of increase means the percentage of increasing , then

  0 < r < 1

∴ r is not less than 0

∵ P is the initial amount when t = 0

∴ P represents the population in year 0

Rachel rode her bike for seven -quarters of a mile on Monday and nine-fifths of a mile on Tuesday. How many miles did she ride a
Romashka [77]

Answer:

3 11/20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday = seven -quarters of a mile

= 7/4 miles

Tuesday = nine-fifths of a mile

= 9/5 miles

How many miles did she ride altogether?

Total miles she rode altogether = Monday + Tuesday

= 7/4 + 9/5

= (35+36)/20

= 71/20

= 3 11/20

Total miles she rode altogether = 3 11/20 miles

Here's a question ~
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

  • (0, 5√3/2 + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the absolute value function.

<u>Observations:</u>

  • It has a slope of ±√3 and the y- intercept of 2.
  • There is no horizontal shift, so the the y-axis is the line of symmetry.
  • The y-axis is also an angle bisector of the two lines.
  • The foot P₁P₂ is parallel to the x-axis since it's perpendicular to the y- axis.

We need to find the coordinates of intersection of the line P₁P₂ with the y- axis (the point Y in the picture).

Consider the triangle AYP₂.

We know AP₂ = 5.

<u>The angle YAP₂ is:</u>

  • arctan (1/√3) = 30°

<u>The distance AY is:</u>

  • AY = AP₂ cos 30° = 5*√3/2

<u>The distance from the x-axis to the point Y is:</u>

  • 5√3/2 + 2, added the y- intercept of the graphed lines

<u>The coordinates of the point Y:</u>

  • (0, 5√3/2 + 2)
