13.9%.

7.2 x 10^9 = 7,200,000,000.

Since 1 billion = 1,000,000,000 out of these 7,200,000,000 do not have access to clean water, we find the percent by taking:
1,000,000,000/7,200,000,000 = 10/72 = 13.9%

Answer: 13.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water."

We know that 1 billion = 1,000,000,000=10^9

There were 7.2\times10^9 people in the world in 2014.

Now, the percent of people lived without clean drinking water :-

\dfrac{\text{Number of people lived without clean water}}{\text{Total people in the world}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{10^9}{7.2\times10^9}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{1}{7.2}\times100\\\\=0.138888888889\times100\\\\=13.8888888889\%\approx13.9\% \ \ \text{[Round to the nearest tenth of a percent]}

Hence, approximately 13.9% of them lived without clean drinking water.

The asymptote of the function f(x) = 3^x+1 - 2 is ____. Its y-intercept is ____.
xxMikexx [17]
We are given the function <span>f(x) = 3^x+1 - 2 and is asked for the asymptote and y-intercept. In this case, we transform the function to

y +2 = 1/3^(x+1)-1
y = 1-2</span>/3^(x+1)-1/(3^(x+1)-1)
let 3^(x+1)-1 = 0
<span>1/3^(x+1) = 0
x = infinity
when x = infinity
y = 0 - 2
y = -2

The y-intercept is the value where x = 0. substituting, 

y = 3^(0+1) - 2 = 1 </span>
