Answer:

3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, the initial number of students at time t = 0 is

n_0 = 980

We know that the number of students increases by 5 % every year. This means that we can write the student's population as

n(t)=(1.05)^t n_0

where

t is the time, measured in years

Here we want to find after how many years t the student's population will exceed the maximum capacity of the school, which is

N = 1100

To solve the problem, we just put n = 1100 and we solve for t. We find:

1100 = (1.05)^t n_0\\t=log_{1.05} (\frac{1100}{980})=2.37 y

Which means that the student's population reaches the maximum capacity of the school after 2.37 years. Since we want this number to be an integer, this means that the enrollment will exceed the capacity in 3 years.

major each of the following angles write it measures right weather it is acute ,obtuse, right angle A straight angle or a reflex
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

i = right angle

ii = obtuse angle

iii = straight angle

iv = obtuse angle

v = acute angle

Step-by-step explanation:

an acute angle is an angle less than 90 degrees

an obtuse angle is an angle more than 90 degrees

a right angle is an angle equivalent to 90 degrees (looks like two straight lines perpendicular)

a straight angle is an angle equivalent to 180 degrees (looks like a straight line)

a reflex angle is an angle greater than 180 degrees

so, ...

i = right angle

ii = obtuse angle

iii = straight angle

iv = obtuse angle

v = acute angle
