Use the conditional statement to answer the question.

The original statement is true by the definition of what constitutes a right angle. It's simply set up this way.

The contrapositive would be the statement "if the angle does not measure 90 degrees, then the angle is not a right angle" which is also a true statement. Example: a 37 degree angle is not a right angle.

Note: the original conditional "If P, then Q" would have the contrapositive be in the form "If not Q, then not P". We flip P and Q, and stick "not"s in front of both parts.

So this is why the answer is choice D

A country's population in 1991 was 136 million. In 2000 it was 141 million. Estimate the population in 2016 using the exponentia

katrin [286]

The answer is 150 million.

Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.

We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time

Step 1:
A = 141 million = 141 000 000
P = 136 million = 136 000 000
n = ?
x = 2000 - 1991 = 9
Therefore:
$141 000 000 = 136000 000 * e ^{n*9} \\ e ^{n*9} =141000 000 /136000000 \\ e ^{n*9} =1.04$

Logarithm both sides of the equation:
$ln(e ^{n*9})=ln(1.04) \\ n*9*ln(e) = ln(1.04) \\ 6n=ln(1.04) \\ n = \frac{ln(1.04)}{9} \\ n = \frac{0.04}{9} \\ n = 0.004$

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2016
A = ?
P = 141 000 000
n = 0.004
t = 2016 - 2000 = 16
$A = 141 000 000 * e ^{0.004*16} \\ A = 141000 000 * e^{0.0640} \\ A = 141000 000 * 1.066\\ A = 150306 000$

Thus, the population will be nearly 150 million in 2016
