Answer:

(A) The population's growth rate in equation form is y = (0.016t * 7652) + 7652

(B) y = (0.016t * 7652) + 7652 =

y = (0.016(8) * 7652) + 7652 =

y = (0.128 * 7652) + 7652 =

y = 979.456 + 7652 =

y = 8631.456 (Or About) 8631

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Y = the total population of the town. 0.016 is 1.6% just in its original form. T = the year in which were trying to find the town's total population. 7652 is the total population of the town in 2016. With this information, the equation reads, The total population of the town (Y) is equal to 16% (0.016) of the current year's population (T) added to 2016's population of 7652. (This last sentence can also be read what is 1.6% of the towns population in the year were trying to find. Because the population is always growing, 1.6% gets multiplied as to scale with the total population in year T)

(B) We just substitute (T) for 2024, or 8 years after 2016 (2024-2016) and simplify the equation we made.

I’m confused can ya help me

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

C & D

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x - 3 = 0

a = co efficient of x² = 1

b= co efficient of x = 3

c = constant = -3

roots = (-b ± $\sqrt{b-4ac}$ )/2a

= (-3± $\sqrt{3^{2}-4*1*[-3]}$ )/2*1

= (-3± $\sqrt{9+12}$ )/2

= (-3±√21)/2

$x = \frac{-3+\sqrt{21}}{2} ; x =\frac{-3-\sqrt{21}}{2}$

Emma had 10 Balls in a bag. The balls were numbers 1 through 10. She wanted to test the probability of drawing a ball that is a

Goryan [66]

Answer:

30%
Unlikely

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The balls - multiples of 3 are:</u>

3, 6 and 9

<u>The probability of a multiple of 3 is:</u>

3 out of 10 or
P = 3/10 = 30%

30% probability is in the range 0%-50% so this event is unlikely

Which function represents a vertical stretch of an exponential function?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

A. $f(x)=3(\frac{1}{2})^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are:

$A. f(x)=3(\frac{1}{2})^x\\\\B. f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(3)^x\\\\C. f(x)=(3)^{2x}\\\\ D. f(x)=3^{(\frac{1}{2}x)}$

For this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition, the Exponential parent functions have the form shown below:

$f(x) = a^x$

Where "a" is the base.

There are several transformations for a function f(x), some of those transformations are shown below:

1. If $bf(x)$ and $b>1$ , then the function is stretched vertically by a factor of "b".

2. If $bf(x)$ and $0$ , then the function is compressed vertically by a factor of "b"

Therefore, based on the information given above, you can identify that the function that represents a vertical stretch of an Exponential function, is the one given in the Option A. This is:

$f(x)=3(\frac{1}{2})^x$

Where the factor is:

$b=3$

And $3>1$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{x-3}+\frac{2}{x+1}=3 \\\\\frac{5(x+1)+2(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+1)} =3\\\\5x+5+2x-6=3(x-3)(x+1)\\\\7x-1=3(x^2+x-3x-3)\\\\7x-1=3(x^2-2x-3)\\\\7x-1=3x^2-6x-9\\\\0=3x^2-6x-7x-9+1\\0=3x^2-13x-8$

Hence proved!
