The population of a city in 2000 was 500,000 while the population of the suburbs of that city in 2000 was 700,000. Suppose that

demographic studies show that each year about 6% of the city's population moves to the suburbs (and 94% stays in the city), while 2% of the suburban population moves to the city (and 98% remains in the suburbs). Compute the population of the city and of the suburbs in the year 2002. For simplicity, ignore other influences on the population such as births, deaths, and migration into and out of the city/suburban region.

Answer:

The population of the city in 2002 is 469,280 while the population of the suburb is 730,720.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 6% of the city's population moves to the suburbs (and 94% stays in the city).
  • 2% of the suburban population moves to the city (and 98% remains in the suburbs).

The migration matrix is given as:

A= \left \begin{array}{cc}  \\ C \\S \end{array} \right\left[ \begin{array}{cc}  C&S\\ 0.94&0.06 \\0.02&0.98 \end{array} \right]

The population in the  year 2000 (initial state) is given as:

\left[ \begin{array}{cc}  C&S\\ 500,000&700,000  \end{array} \right]

Therefore, the population of the city and the suburb in 2002 (two years after) is:

S_0A^2=\left \begin{array}{cc} [500,000&700,000]\\&  \end{array} \right\left \begin{array}{cc} \end{array} \right\left[ \begin{array}{cc} 0.94&0.06 \\0.02&0.98 \end{array} \right]^2

A^{2} = \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 0.8848 & 0.1152 \\\\ 0.0384 & 0.9616 \end{array} \right]

Therefore:

S_0A^2=\left \begin{array}{cc} [500,000&700,000]\\&  \end{array} \right\left \begin{array}{cc} \end{array} \right \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 0.8848 & 0.1152 \\ 0.0384 & 0.9616 \end{array} \right]\\\\=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} 500,000*0.8848+700,000*0.0384& 500,000*0.1152 +700,000*0.9616 \end{array} \right]\\\\=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} 469280& 730720 \end{array} \right]

Therefore, the population of the city in 2002 is 469,280 while the population of the suburb is 730,720.

The length of the rectangle is six times its width if the perimeter is 70cm find its area
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is 70 m

so w + w + 6w + 6w = 70

w = 70/14 = 5, l = 30m.

Area = l * w = 30 * 5 = 150 sq m

Mr. Chen is painting one wall of a room in his attic. He needs to detemine the area of the wall so he will know how much paint h
MAVERICK [17]

Area of the figure

= (area of rectangle) + (area of triangle)

= (8 × 10) + (½ × 4 × 8)

= 80 + 16

= 96

Area = 96ft²

Quarts of paint needed

= 96/22

= 48/11

= 4.36

Mr. Chen will have to buy 5 quarts of paint.

At the movies, a couple bought 2 medium drinks and a large popcorn for
LuckyWell [14K]
Let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:
2p + 3d = 18.25
4p + 2d = 27.50

From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:
For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.
For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.

I'll be using elimination in this case:
-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50

-4p - 6d = -36.50
4p + 2d = 27.50
-4d = -9.00
d = 2.25

4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50
4p + 4.50 = 27.50
4p = 23.00
p = 5.75

Now let's check our answer:
2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25
11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25
18.25 = 18.25

So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75
