Answer:
y = -3/4x-5/2 and y = 2/3x-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y+1 = -3/4(x+2)
y+1 = -3/4x-3/2
y = -3/4x-3/2-1
y = -3/4x-5/2
-----
y-3 = 2/3(x-4)
y-3 = 2/3x-8/3
y = 2/3x-8/3+3
y = 2/3x-1/3
As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.
Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years) substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:

million people
To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)
substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:

million people
To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30
t = 25
million people
t = 30
million people
Answer:
A: 5
B: 9
C: 32
I hope this helps the people who're looking for this answer!
Answer:
v = 1/(1+i)
PV(T) = x(v + v^2 + ... + v^n) = x(1 - v^n)/i = 493
PV(G) = 3x[v + v^2 + ... + v^(2n)] = 3x[1 - v^(2n)]/i = 2748
PV(G)/PV(T) = 2748/493
{3x[1 - v^(2n)]/i}/{x(1 - v^n)/i} = 2748/493
3[1-v^(2n)]/(1-v^n) = 2748/493
Since v^(2n) = (v^n)^2 then 1 - v^(2n) = (1 - v^n)(1 + v^n)
3(1 + v^n) = 2748/493
1 + v^n = 2748/1479
v^n = 1269/1479 ~ 0.858
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a lot like solving equations.
3b-7 < 32
Add 7 to each side.
3b < 39
Divide by 3 on each side.
b < 13
Hope this helps :)
