Tacoma's population in 2000 was about 200 thousand, and had been growing by about 9% each year. a. Write a recursive formula for

KIM [24]

Answer:

a) The recurrence formula is $P_n = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-1}$ .

b) The general formula for the population of Tacoma is

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^nP_{0}$ .

c) In 2016 the approximate population of Tacoma will be 794062 people.

d) The population of Tacoma should exceed the 400000 people by the year 2009.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have the population in the year 2000, which is 200 000 people. Let us write $P_0 = 200 000$ . For the population in 2001 we will use $P_1$ , for the population in 2002 we will use $P_2$ , and so on.

In the following year, 2001, the population grow 9% with respect to the previous year. This means that $P_0$ is equal to $P_1$ plus 9% of the population of 2000. Notice that this can be written as

$P_1 = P_0 + (9/100)*P_0 = \left(1-\frac{9}{100}\right)P_0 = \frac{109}{100}P_0$ .

In 2002, we will have the population of 2001, $P_1$ , plus the 9% of $P_1$ . This is

$P_2 = P_1 + (9/100)*P_1 = \left(1-\frac{9}{100}\right)P_1 = \frac{109}{100}P_1$ .

So, it is not difficult to notice that the general recurrence is

$P_n = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-1}$ .

b) In the previous formula we only need to substitute the expression for $P_{n-1}$ :

$P_{n-1} = \frac{109}{100}P_{n-2}$ .

Then,

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^2P_{n-2}$ .

Repeating the procedure for $P_{n-3}$ we get

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^3P_{n-3}$ .

But we can do the same operation n times, so

$P_n = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^nP_{0}$ .

c) Recall the notation we have used:

$P_{0}$ for 2000, $P_{1}$ for 2001, $P_{2}$ for 2002, and so on. Then, 2016 is $P_{16}$ . So, in order to obtain the approximate population of Tacoma in 2016 is

$P_{16} = \left(\frac{109}{100}\right)^{16}P_{0} = (1.09)^{16}P_0 = 3.97\cdot 200000 \approx 794062$

d) In this case we want to know when $P_n>400000$ , which is equivalent to

$(1.09)^{n}P_0>400000$ .

Substituting the value of $P_0$ , we get

$(1.09)^{n}200000>400000$ .

Simplifying the expression:

$(1.09)^{n}>2$ .

So, we need to find the value of $n$ such that the above inequality holds.

The easiest way to do this is take logarithm in both hands. Then,

$n\ln(1.09)>\ln 2$ .

So, $n>\frac{\ln 2}{\ln(1.09)} = 8.04323172693$ .

So, the population of Tacoma should exceed the 400 000 by the year 2009.

PROBLEM: Juan hires an electrician. Juan pays a one-time fee of $30. Juan also pays $45 for each hour the electrician works. A.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A: C=45h+30

B: C=$322.50

Step-by-step explanation:

A: We'll start with the equation for the total charge. Juan is saying he will pay a one time fee of $30, meaning there is 30 dollars added to what ever the hourly wage is. This can be represented by the +30. Now if "h" represents the variable for which the hourly wage will be calculated, and he pays $45 dollars per hour this will be represented as 45h. <em>As an example if I pay you 2 dollars per hour using the same variable "h", this would be represented as 2h. So if you worked for two hours you would get 4 dollars, this is proven by the fact the 2(2) (remeber im replacing the "h" with the hours you worked) obviously 2 times 2 is 4 proving my point. </em>This information will give you the equation you see above.

B: Onto solving for how much Juan will pay. Now you say youre supposed to have 9 answer but this can't be true. All you need to do is plug the hours given into "h" and solve the equation. It should look something like:

<u>C=45h+30</u>

<u>C=45(6.5)+30</u>

Im using a decimal because it should be clear 1/2=0.5

<u>C= 292.5+30</u>

45x6.5 always go with PEMDAS, we are multiplying first. Then add 292.5 plus 30

This results in the answer of:

<u>C=$322.50</u>

Mark has $16 to buy lunch for himself and his sister. He wants to buy at least one sandwich and one bag of chips. Sandwiches cos

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Victor runs a small sandwich shop. He decides to start offering bags of chips to his customers. He finds a supplier where he can buy chips for $0.30 per bag. Victor needs to determine how much to charge for the chips at his shop. He does some research by talking to other nearby sandwich shop owners. The table below shows their sales per week for two different prices. (The values are: 150 bags sold, for $1.00 per bag, and 350 bags sold, for $0.50 per bag.) Victor believes that there is a linear relationship between the number of bags sold and the price. Victor wants to price the bags of chips so that he will maximize his profits. Determine the price Victor should charge for a bag of chips. Use the equation P(x)=R(x)-C(x), where P(x) represents profit, R(x) represents revenue, and C(x) represents cost. Each is a function of the number of bags of chips sold, x. Round your answer to the nearest nickel.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B: Yes, the participants are grouped by sun exposure, and then both treatments are randomly assigned within each group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Randomized block design is one in which the experimental units are categorized into groups which we call blocks. Thereafter, treatments will be randomly allocated to the experimental units inside each of the blocks.

Now, from the question, we can see that they were grouped in Blocks according to their outdoor activity which is degree of exposure to the sun. Thereafter the individual groups are randomly assigned treatments.

Thus, Option B is correct.
