Answer


B) 2041


Explanation:

The rate of growth per year is 1.2% which means after first year the population will be


                   7+ 7×(1.2/100)


After second year


                   7×1.012 +7×1.012 (1.2/100)


                  =7×1.012  (1+1.2/100)


                   =7×1.012  (1.012)


                   =7×1.012  ×1.012  


Similarly, after third year it will be as:


                    =7×1.012  ×1.012 ×1.012    

So our after x year the growth will be


                       7 (1.012)^x  

We need to find, when the value will be 10 billion so our equation will be as:


                       10=7×(1.012)^x

                We can solve it easily here.  

                       10/7= (1.012)^x

                Take log on both sides


                   ㏒  10/7 = ㏒(1.012^x)


                   ㏒  10/7 = ㏒(1.012^x)


                   ㏒  10/7  ÷㏒(1.012) = x

                    x =29.90 ≈ 30


Conclusion:


So it will take 30 years to take the world population to reach 10 billion if the rate of growth is 1.2%. Thus 2011 + 30 = 2041 is the correct answer.

The answer would be "A wider based triangle" because the x value is birth rate and it is increasing, so that's why we need to answer to say "wider"

How might you explain the different reasons why you may forget the process of classical conditioning if you were tested on it to
jonny [76]
<span>There are a few ways that may cause me to forget the process of classical conditioning. First, I could be having retroactive interference. In this case, the newer information that I am just now learning about could be interfering with my retrieval of previous information. Second, I could be experiencing decay. This would mean that it’s been so long since I’ve learned about classical conditioning that my memory trace has not been used and I’ve started to forget about it. Finally, I also could simply have failed to process the memory in a process known as encoding failure. (One more option is that I am suffering from retrograde amnesia, but that is unlikely).</span>
