A village experienced 2% population growth, compounded continuously, each year for 10 years. At the end of the 10 years, the pop

ulation was 158.
1. What was the population of the village at the beginning of the 10 years according to the exponential growth function? Round your answer up to the next whole number, and do not include units.

Answer:

The initial population at the beginning of the 10 years was 129.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the village may be modeled by the following function.

P(t) = P_{0}e^{rt}

In which P is the population after t hours, P_{0} is the initial population and r is the growth rate, in decimal.

In this problem, we have that:

P(10) = 158, r = 0.02.

So

158 = P_{0}e^{0.02*10}

P_{0} = 158*e^{-0.2}

P_{0} = 129

The initial population at the beginning of the 10 years was 129.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula representing the population growth after t years can be expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A is the population of the village after t years.

P represents the initial population of the village at the beginning of the 10 years.

r represents population growth rate

n represents the number of times that the population was compounded in each year.

From the given information,

A = 158

r = 2% = 2/100 = 0.02

t = 10 years

n = 1 because it was compounded continuously each year.

Therefore

158 = P(1+0.02/1)^1×10

158 = P(1.02)^10

P = 158/(1.02)^10 = 129.615

Approximately 130 to the nearest whole number.

The length of OM is 4/3 the length of OJ, and the length of ON is 4/3 the length of OK. Thus, two pairs of sides from the triangles are proportional to each other.

Also, angle O from one of the triangles is equal to angle O of the other triangle because they are the same angle.

Thus, the two triangles are similar by SAS (side-angle-side) similarity theorem. This theorem is quite similar to the SAS congruence theorem.

To make a similarity statement, we just have to match corresponding parts when naming the triangle.

1. How much work is done when a 65 newton force moves a block 5 meters?
Alik [6]

Answer:

i am not sure but i might know how to do it

Step-by-step explanation:

work is described as taking place when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. When a force acts to cause an object to be displaced, three quantities must be known in order to calculate the work. Those three quantities are force, displacement and the angle between the force and the displacement. The work is subsequently calculated as force•displacement•cosine(theta) where theta is the angle between the force and the displacement vectors. In this part of Lesson 1, the concepts and mathematics of work will be applied in order to analyze a variety of physical situations
