We are given this function:
y=8700* (1.04)^{4}

8700 is the initial amount.
1.04 shows the change of original amount. This is decimal form of percentage. We need to transform it into regular percentage.
1.04 * 100% = 104%
Now we observe this number. If it is greater than 100% we have growth, if it is lower than 100% it is decay, and if it is equal to 100% than there is no change.
In our case this number is greater than 100% so we have growth. To determine the percentage rate we must substract 100% as it represents the original amount.
104% - 100% = 4%
This would be our solution if we don't have an exponent.

We have exponent so first step is to calculate the number and then we repeat the steps from above.
1.04^{4} = 1,16985856
1,16985856 * 100% ≈ 116,99%
116.99% - 100% = 16.99%
So, final solution is growth of 16.99%

How do you do this question?
Alex Ar [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) dP/dt = kP (1 − P/L)

L is the carrying capacity (20 billion = 20,000 million).

Since P₀ is small compared to L, we can approximate the initial rate as:

(dP/dt)₀ ≈ kP₀

Using the maximum birth rate and death rate, the initial growth rate is 40 mil/year − 20 mil/year = 20 mil/year.

20 = k (6,100)

k = 1/305

dP/dt = 1/305 P (1 − (P/20,000))

(b) P(t) = 20,000 / (1 + Ce^(-t/305))

6,100 = 20,000 / (1 + C)

C = 2.279

P(t) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-t/305))

P(10) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-10/305))

P(10) = 6240 million

P(10) = 6.24 billion

This is less than the actual population of 6.9 billion.

(c) P(100) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-100/305))

P(100) = 7570 million = 7.57 billion

P(600) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-600/305))

P(600) = 15170 million = 15.17 billion

In order to conduct an experiment five subjects are randomly selected from a group of 48 subjects how many different groups of f
exis [7]

Answer:

1,712,304 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on combination

Since we are to select 5 subjects from a pool of 48 subjects, the number of ways this can be done is expressed as;

48C5 = 48!/(48-5)!5!

48C5 = 48!/43!5!

48C5 = 48×47×46×45×44×43!/43!5!

48C5 = 48×47×46×45×44/5!

48C5 = 205,476,480/120

48C5 = 1,712,304

Hence this can be done in 1,712,304ways

Nu is designing a rectangular sandbox.The bottomm is 16 square feet.Which dimensions require the least amount of materail for th
zzz [600]

Given Information:  

Area of rectangle = 16 square feet

Required Information:  

Least amount of material = ?

Answer:

x = 4 ft and y = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a rectangle has area = xy and perimeter = 2x + 2y

We want to use least amount of material to design the sandbox which means we want to minimize the perimeter which can be done by taking the derivative of perimeter and then setting it equal to 0.

So we have

xy = 16  

y = 16/x

p = 2x + 2y

put the value of y into the equation of perimeter

p = 2x + 2(16/x)

p = 2x + 32/x

Take derivative with respect to x

d/dt (2x + 32/x)

2 - 32/x²

set the derivative equal to zero to minimize the perimeter

2 - 32/x² = 0

32/x² = 2

x² = 32/2

x² = 16

x = \sqrt{16} = 4 ft

put the value of x into equation xy = 16

(4)y = 16

y = 16/4

y = 4 ft

So the dimensions are x = 4 ft and y = 4 ft in order to use least amount of material.

Verification:

xy = 16

4*4 = 16

16 = 16 (satisfied)
