Answer:

The population of the town at the end of 2017 was 65,550.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the town was 60,000 in the beginning of 2016.

In 2016, the total population is increased by 15%.

60,000\times\frac{15}{100}=9000

Therefore the population is increased by 9000 and the population of the town at the end of 2016 was

60,000+9000=69,000

In 2017, the total population is decreased by 5%.

69,000\times\frac{5}{100}=3450

Therefore the population is decreased by 3450 and the population of the town at the end of 2017 was

69,000-3450=65,500

Therefore the population of the town at the end of 2017 was 65,550.

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. [infinity] n = 1 1 n√9 the series is a ---select--- p-series with p =
inna [77]

The series is a convergent p-series with p = 3

<h3>How to know it is a divergent or a convergent series</h3>

We would know that a series is a convergent p series when we have ∑ 1 np. Then you have to be able to tell if the series is a divergent p series or it is a convergent p series.

The way that you are able to tell this is if the terms of the series do not approach towards 0. Now when the value of p is greater than 1 then you would be able to tell that the series is a convergent series.

The value of \sqrt{9}= 3

The formular for this is

∑\frac{1}{n^p} \\

where n = 1

we know it is convergent because p is greater than 1. 3>1

noname [10]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have to divide x by two, and y varies directly toward x, y also has to divide by two. 20/2 is 10.

The window shown is the shape of a semicircle with a radius of 6 feet. The distance from F to E is 3 feet and the measure of = 4
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The area of the glass in region BCIH is 11 to the nearest feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the figure

- The window is a semicircle with center G and radius 6 feet

- There is a small semicircle with center G and radius GF

∵ GE is 6 feet and EF is 3 feet

∵ GE = GF + FE

∴ 6 = GF + 3 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ 3 = GF

∴ The radius of the small semicircle is 3 feet

∵ m∠BGC = 45°

- The area of sector BGC is part of the area of the semicircle

∵ The area of semi-circle is 1/2 π r²

∵ The measure of the central angle of the semicircle is 180°

∵ The measure of the central angle of the sector BGC is 45°

∴ The sector = 45°/180° = 1/4 of the semi-circle

∴ The area of the sector is 1/4 the area of the semicircle

∵ The area of the semicircle = 1/2 π r²

∵ r = 6 feet

∴ The area of the semicircle = 1/2 π (6)² = 1/2 π (36) = 18 π feet²

∴ Area of the sector = 1/4 (18 π) = 4.5 π feet²

- The small sector HGI has the same central angle of the sector BGC

∴ The area of the sector HGI is 1/4 The area of the small semicircle

∵ The area of the small semicircle = 1/2 π r²

∵ r = 3 feet

∴ The area of the small semicircle = 1/2 π (3)² = 1/2 π (9) = 4.5 π feet²

∴ Area of the sector HGI= 1/4 (4.5 π) = 1.125 π feet²

- The area of the glass in region BCIH is the difference between the

  area of sector BGC and the area of the sector HGI

∴ The area of the glass in region BCIH = 4.5 π - 1.125 π ≅ 11 feet²
