The population will be less that 170 in 4 years

5 0

In the question , it is given that the population is decreasing by 4% per year .

So we have to use the following formula of exponential decay:

P(t) = P_{0} (1-r)^t

Substituting the given values, we will get

170 = 200(1-0.04)^t

Dividing both sides by 200

\frac{170}{200} = (0.96)^t

Taking log on both sides

log (\frac{170}{200}) =log (0.96)^t

log (\frac{170}{200}) =t*log (0.96)

Dividing both sides by log(0.96)

\frac{ log (\frac{170}{200}) }{log(0.96) } =t

t = approx 4 years

So after 4 years , the population will be less than 170.

3x - 4y = -16<br> 2x - 4y = -8<br> what is x and y
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x = -8 , y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

2 x - 4 y = -8 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

0 x - (4 y)/3 = 8/3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3/4:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

0 x - y = 2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:

{3 x - 4 y = -16 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Add 4 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{3 x+0 y = -24 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:

{x+0 y = -8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -8 , y = -2

3x + 4y = 24<br> 6x + 8y = 24 using process of elimination
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=24 multiplied by 2 equals: 6x+8y=48

if you subtract 6x+8y=24 from 6x+8y=48, you get 0=24, which is not true. Therefore the statement is false.
