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.

First and foremost, supervisors
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Though supervisors in a corporate or office setting tends to have multiple responsibilities, their primary one, the reason why they are supervisors in the first place, is because they (A) have the ability to teach the job you will be doing.

The most important part that a newly hired employee would need to know is how to do their job properly in the new setting – this is where supervisors should play their part.
