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.

What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and (3, 7)? (1 point) y = −2x + 1 y = −2x − 1 y
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: y=2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is \frac{7-3}{3-1}=\frac{4}{2}=2

Using the point (1,3) to substitute into point-slope form,

y-3=2(x-1)\\\\y-3=2x-2\\\\\boxed{y-2x+1}

Which is a factor of 21?<br> 4<br> 3<br> 6<br> 5
arsen [322]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using listing:

1 \times 21 = 21

3 \times 7 = 21

No other factors are possible.

Hence, 1, 3, 7 and 21 are factors of 21.

sergeinik [125]

A notation for representing an interval as a pair of numbers. The numbers are the endpoints of the interval. Parentheses and/or brackets are used to show whether the endpoints are excluded or included.

For example, [3, 8) is the interval of real numbers between 3 and 8, including 3 and excluding 8.
