A carpenter's square is a ruler which looks like a right triangle. Being such, it has a long side and a short side. Assuming that the radius of each wheel is the size of the short side, we can use this to measure the mid point of the wheel. The mid point of the wheel is the optimal point where you can bore a hole.
Complete question:
The growth of a city is described by the population function p(t) = P0e^kt where P0 is the initial population of the city, t is the time in years, and k is a constant. If the population of the city atis 19,000 and the population of the city atis 23,000, which is the nearest approximation to the population of the city at
Answer:
27,800
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to obtain the initial population(P0) and constant value (k)
Population function : p(t) = P0e^kt
At t = 0, population = 19,000
19,000 = P0e^(k*0)
19,000 = P0 * e^0
19000 = P0 * 1
19000 = P0
Hence, initial population = 19,000
At t = 3; population = 23,000
23,000 = 19000e^(k*3)
23000 = 19000 * e^3k
e^3k = 23000/ 19000
e^3k = 1.2105263
Take the ln
3k = ln(1.2105263)
k = 0.1910552 / 3
k = 0.0636850
At t = 6
p(t) = P0e^kt
p(6) = 19000 * e^(0.0636850 * 6)
P(6) = 19000 * e^0.3821104
P(6) = 19000 * 1.4653739
P(6) = 27842.104
27,800 ( nearest whole number)
The answer is C) 63 degrees
