The population of a community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t. The initial

population P0 has doubled in 5 years. Suppose it is known that the population is 9,000 after 3 years. What was the initial population P0? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) P0 = 5937.8 What will be the population in 10 years? (Round your answer to the nearest person.) 23751 persons How fast is the population growing at t = 10? (Round your answer to the nearest person.) 3293 persons/year

Answer:

P0 = 5937.8 people

P(t = 10) = 23751 people

P'(t = 10) = 3293 persons/year

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the population has the formula of

P = P_0e^{kt}

Where P0 is the initial population at t = 0 and k is the constant that we are looking fore.

Since the population doubled after t = 5 years

P = 2P_0

2P_0 = P_0e^{k5}

e^{5k} = 2

k = ln2/5 = 0.1386

So after t = 3 years, population is P = 9000:

9000 = P_0e^{0.1386*3}

P_0 = \frac{9000}{e^{0.1386*3}} = 5937.8

After 10 years, population would be quadtripled (10 years is 2 times of 5 years):

P(10) = 4P_0 = 5937.8*4 = 23751

The rate of change in population is the derivative of the population function with respect to t

P'(t) = P_0ke^{kt} = 5937.8*0.1386e^{0.1386t} = 823.15 e^{0.1386t}

So after t = 10 years the rate of change in population would be

P'(10) = 823.15 e^{0.1386*10} = 3293 persons/years

Name : Teacher: Word Problems Score: Date : Tom has 24 blue balloons. He wants to give his six friends the same number of blue b
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Each friend of Tommy will receive 4 blue balloons from tommy as Tommy wants to distribute his balloons equally among all of them.

As per the question statement, Tom has 24 blue balloons and he wants to distribute his balloons equally among all 6 of his friends.

To solve this question, let us assume that each friend of Tommy received "x" balloons on equal distribution.

We will now form a Linear Equation of single variable with "x", based on the condition mentioned in the question statement, and solving for "x", we will obtain our desired answer, i.e.,

(x+x+x+x+x+x)=24\\or, (6*x)=24\\or, x=\frac{24}{6}\\ or, x=4

Thus, Each friend of Tommy will receive 4 blue balloons.

  • Linear Equation: In Mathematics, a linear equation is an algebraic equation which when graphed, always results in a straight Line and hence comes the name "Linear". Here, each term has an exponent of 1 and is often denoted as (y = mx + c)  where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept. Occasionally, it is also called as a "linear equation of two variables," where y and x are the variables.
  • Variable: In Mathematics, a variable is a symbol or a representative of a value, which is unknown.

Carl is making a garden that is twice as long as it is wide. he wants to cover 271
d1i1m1o1n [39]

x²/2 =271 represents the situation where taking length twice as breadth and area as 271 ft² .

Area of a figure is the amount of space acquired by the figure

Area of a rectangle=Length x  breadth

length=x

breadth=x/2

Area of rectangular lawn=lxb

                                          =x.x/2

But as per question,

Area=271 ft²

⇒x²/2=271 1

⇒x=23.28 ft²

Therefore, x²/2 =271 represents the situation where taking length twice as breadth and area as 271 ft² .Value of x i.e. length is 23.28 ft²

Describe how you would use the Distributive​
S_A_V [24]
We usually use the distributive property because the two terms inside the parentheses can't be added because they're not like terms.
Make sure you apply the outside number to all of the terms inside the parentheses/brackets.
