Answer:

5x-2y= -6-------(1)

2x-y= 1------(2)

Equation (1) - 2 × Equation (2)

→5x-2y-4x+2y= -6 -2

Adding and Subtracting like terms

→x= - 8

Putting the value of x in equation 2

→2×(-8) -y =1

→-16 -y=1

Adding 16 on both sides of equation

→-y=16+1

→y = -17

x= -8, and y= -17

2x + 3y = 432------(3)

5x – 2y = 16---------(4)

2×Equation (3) + 3 × Equation (4)

→4x+6y+15x-6y=864+48

→19 x=912

Dividing both sides by 19, we get

x=48

Putting the value of x, in equation (3)

2× 48+3y=432

96+3y=432

3y=432-96

3y=336

Dividing both sides by,3 we get

y=112

Solution set is equal to, x=48,y=112

Suppose a population is growing by 8% each year. How many years will it take the population to double?

Doss [256]

ANSWER

$\text{9 years}$

EXPLANATION

We want to find the number of years that it will take the population to double.

To do this, we have to apply the exponential growth function:

$y=a(1+r)^t$

where y = final value

a = initial value

r = rate of growth

t = time (in years)

For the population to double, it means that the final value must be 2 times the initial value:

$y=2a$

Substitute the given values into the function above:

$\begin{gathered} 2a=a(1+\frac{8}{100})^t \\ \frac{2a}{a}=(1+0.08)^t=1.08^t \\ 2=1.08^t \end{gathered}$

To solve further, convert the function from an exponential function to a logarithmic function as follows:

$\log _{1.08}2=t$

Solve for t:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\log _{10}2}{\log _{10}1.08}=t \\ \Rightarrow t=9\text{ years} \end{gathered}$

It will take 9 years for the population to double.
