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.

Solve the equation. <br> ×-9=-6× + 5
Serggg [28]
The answer is x=2. You add 6x to both sides to get 7x-9=5 then add 9 to both sides to get 7x=14. From there, you divide by 7 on both sides to get x=2.

PLEASE HELP!! SHOW WORK! &lt;3<br> Find the area of this figure. Dimensions are in meters.
densk [106]

Answer:

  2√46 + 25π/4 ≈ 33.2 . . . . m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the triangle is given by the Pythagorean theorem. The right triangle of interest is the one that has 5√2 as its hypotenuse, and a leg of half the base shown. Then the other leg, the altitude of the triangle, is ...

  h = √((5√2)² - 2²) = √46

Then the area of the triangle shown is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(4)(√46)

  A = 2√46

__

The area of the semicircle is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)πr²

Filling in the radius shown, the area is computed as ...

  A = (1/2)π(5√2/2)² = 25π/4

So, the total area of the figure is ...

  total area = triangle area + semicircle area

  = 2√46 + 25π/4 . . . square meters

  ≈ 33.2 . . . square meters

Solve the System by Graphing:
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

  • B) One solution
  • The solution is  (2, -2)
  • The graph is below.

=========================================================

Explanation:

I used GeoGebra to graph the two lines. Desmos is another free tool you can use. There are other graphing calculators out there to choose from as well.

Once you have the two lines graphed, notice that they cross at (2, -2) which is where the solution is located. This point is on both lines, so it satisfies both equations simultaneously. There's only one such intersection point, so there's only one solution.

--------

To graph these equations by hand, plug in various x values to find corresponding y values. For instance, if you plugged in x = 0 into the first equation, then,

y = (-3/2)x+1

y = (-3/2)*0+1

y = 1

The point (0,1) is on the first line. The point (2,-2) is also on this line. Draw a straight line through the two points to finish that equation. The other equation is handled in a similar fashion.
