Tewksbury Population In 2011

Answer:

The growth factor is 1.022

y = (25000) (1.022)^x

y =27874 people in 2011

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth is modeled by the equation

y= a b^x

where a is the initial amount and b is 1 + the growth percent  and x is the time in years

a =25000

b = 1+.022 = 1.022


y = (25000) (1.022)^x

We need to find the population ins 2011

2011-2006 is 5 years  so x=5

y = 25000 (1.022)^5

y = 27873.7 people

Rounding because we don't have parts of people

y =27874 people

Carla has 1 gallon of paint. She is going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 10 inches long, and 7 cm de
solniwko [45]

Answer:

To determine the correct statement in the choices presented, we first have to solve the area of the tray. We assume it to be in a rectangular form so the area is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 10 in x 10 in x 7/2.54 in = 275.59 in³ for the paint tray

1 gallon paint = 231 in³ paint

Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in³

Solve the equation 2 (4x – 24) + x = 14.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

x = 6 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve:

  • 2(4x - 24) + x = 14
  • 8x - 48 + x = 14
  • 9x - 48 = 14
  • 9x = 62
  • x = 62/9
  • x = 6 8/9

Given quadrilateral ABCD with sides, 3, 3, 5, 5 respectively, identify the type of quadrilateral
solong [7]
From the information we have, we can conclude that this quadrilateral is a rectangle. The reason behind this is because rectangles have two sets of parallel sides, which makes them different from squares.

Factor the following:
x^2 - 5 x - 24
Hint: | Factor x^2 - 5 x - 24 by finding two numbers whose product is -24 and whose sum is -5.
The factors of -24 that sum to -5 are 3 and -8. So, x^2 - 5 x - 24 = (x + 3) (x - 8):
Answer:  (x + 3) (x - 8)
