Answer: 8.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form)  =18/100 = 0.18

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

192,000 = 47,000 (1+ 0.18)^t

Solving for t:

192,000/47,000 = 1.18^t

4.08 =1.18^t

ln 4.08 = ln 1.18^t

ln 4.08 =t (ln 1.18)

ln 4.08 / ln 1.18  =t

8.5 years = t

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

What is the least possible degree of the polynomial graphed above?
Degger [83]

Considering it's critical points, it is found that the least possible degree of the polynomial graphed above is of 4.

<h3>What are the critical points of a function?</h3>

The critical points of a function are the values of x for which:

f^{\prime}(x) = 0

In a graph, they are the turning points, and if a function has n critical points, the least possible degree is of n + 1.

In this problem, the function has 3 turning points, at x = -3, between x = -3 and x = 3, and at x = 3, hence the least possible degree of the polynomial graphed above is of 4.
