The population of a certain species of fish has a relative growth rate of 1.1% per year. It is estimated that the population in

2010 was 12 million. a. Find an exponential model n(t)= no e^rt for the population t years after 2010. b. Estimate the fish population in the year 2015. c. After how many years will the fish population reach 14 million? d. Sketch a graph of the fish population.

Answer:

(a) n(t) = P(0)*e^(0.010939940t)

(b) 12,674,681 (nearest unit)

(c) 14 years (nearest year)

Step-by-step explanation:

rate = 1.1% / year = 1.011

(a)

P(0) = 12,000,000  = population in 2010

In compound interest format, after t years

P(t) = P(0)* (1.011)^t

Given format = P(0)* e^(rt)

therefore

e^(rt) = 1.011^t       use law of exponents

(e^r)^t = 1.011^t

e^r = 1.011

r = log_e(1.011) = 0.010939940   (to 9 decimal places)

required formula is

n(t) = P(0)*e^(0.010939940t)

(b)

in 2015,

P(0)=12000000, n = 5 (years after 2010)

n(5) = 12000000*e^( 0.010939940 * 5 ) = 12,674,680.6 = 12,674,681 (nearest unit)

(c)

to reach 14 million, we equate

n(t) = 14,000,000

12,000,000 *e^(0.010939940*t) = 14,000,000

e^(0.010939940*t) = 14000000/12000000 = 7/6

take log on both sides

0.010939940*t = log(7/6)

t = log(7/6) / 0.010939940 = 14.091 years = 14 years to the nearest year.

See graph attached.  Y-axis is in millions, x-axis is in years.

4 times x with an exponent of 2 plus 2 times y with an exponent of 4. X=-3 y=2
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation is: 4*x^{2} +2 * y^{4}

You also know that x = -3 and y = 2. You can rewrite the equation by substituting x and y with their actual values:

4*(-3)^{2} +2 * 2^{4}

First, you want to do the exponentiation (meaning you want to calculate (-3)^{2} and 2^{4} parts). (-3)^{2} equals 9 and 2^{4} equals 16.

So the equation now is:

4*9+2*16

Now you want to do multiplication. 4*9 equals 36 and 2*16 equals 32. So you're left with:

36+32

Which equals 68.

There were about 1.22 million Hispanic-owned businesses in 2012 and 1.73 million in 2017.
fredd [130]

Answer:

  f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) An exponential growth (or decay) function can be written using the form ...

  f(t) = (initial value)·(ratio in period)^(t/period)

Here, we're given an initial value of 1.22, a growth ratio of 1.73/1.22 in a period of 5 years, so we can write the function as ...

  f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

__

(b) In 2038-2012 = 26 years, the value of the function is ...

  f(26) = 1.22·(173/122)^(26/5) ≈ 7.50 . . . . million

So.. both sides divided by 4.
Now u have 14/68=x/6 -5
Multiply all by 6
Now u have 84/68=x-30
21/17+510/17=x
531/17=x
X=31 4/17
