Answer:

  • Decay Problem.
  • Decay rate,  r = 0.014
  • Initial Amount =120,000
  • P(t)=120000(0.986)^t
  • P(10)=104,220

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for growth/decay is given as:

P(t)=P_0(1 \pm r)^t, where:\\P_0$ is the Initial Population\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is time

In this problem:

The city's initial population is 120,000 and it decreases by 1.4% per year.

  • Since the population decreases, it is a Decay Problem.
  • Decay rate, r=1.4% =0.014
  • Initial Amount =120,000

Therefore, the function is:

P(t)=120000(1 - 0.014)^t\\P(t)=120000(0.986)^t

When t=10 years

P(10)=120000(0.986)^10\\=104219.8\\\approx 104220 $ (to the nearest whole number)

If line P bisects segmentAD at point O and if AO=z+4 and AD =3z-11, find OD
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Line P bisects AD at O.

AD = AO + OD

(3z - 11) = (z + 4) + OD

(3z - 11) - (z + 4) = OD

3z - 11 - z - 4 = OD

2z -15 = OD

Hello there,

The "prime factor's" of 1,386 would be "2*3*3*7*11.

When we multiply those together. We get 1,386.

Hope this helps.
