If the population of a country is growing at a rate of 2.2% compounded

Mathematics

It will take 31.9 years.

The general form of this equation is

y = a(1+r)ˣ, where y is the total population, a is the initial population, r is the growth rate as a decimal number, and x is the amount of time.  For our problem, we have

120000 = 60000(1+0.022)ˣ

[The 120,000 is because we are doubling the 60,000 population]

Dividing both sides by 60,000,

120000/60000 = 60000(1+0.022)ˣ/60000
2 = 1.022ˣ

Using logarithms to solve this, we have
log_{1.022}2=x
\\
\\31.85=x
\\
\\31.9\approx x

If y varies directly as x, and y is 48 when x is 6, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 2?
sertanlavr [38]

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x they are directly proportional, which means they relate to each other in the same way....

2 : y = 6: 48

what is y if x = 2?

The value of y can be found if you write it a two fracrions

2 : y = 6 : 48

2 / y = 6 / 48

cross multiply the fractions gives

6*y = 48 *2

divide left and right of the = sign by 6 gives the answer:

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Other method:

multiply left and right of the = sign by y

2 * y/y = y *6 / 48

6y / 48 = 2 * 1

multiply left and right of the = sign by 48

6y * 48/48 = ( 48 *2 )

6y = ( 48 *2 )

divide left and right of the = sign by 6

6/6* y = ( 48 *2 )/6

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).
