Answer:

a. y=2,700(1.04)^x

b. 4,322.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We have been given that the population of a town is 2,700 and is growing 4% each year.

We can see that population of town is increasing exponentially. Since an exponential function is in form: y=a*b^x, where,

a = Initial value.

b= For growth b is in form (1+r), where r is rate in decimal form.

y=a*(1+r)^x

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

4\%=\frac{4}{100}=0.04

Upon substituting a=2,700 and r=0.04 we will get,

y=2,700(1+0.04)^x

y=2,700(1.04)^x

Therefore, the equation y=2,700(1.04)^x models the population growth.

b. To find the population after 12 years we will substitute x=12 in our population growth model.

y=2,700(1.04)^12

y=2,700*1.6010322185676808

y=4,322.78699013273816\approx 4,322

Therefore, the population after 12 years will be 4,322.

Part A
Y (x)=2700 (1+0.04)^x
Y (x)=2700 (1.04)^x
where x is the number of years

Part B
Y (12)=2,700×(1.04)^(12)=4,322.78

At 9:00 pm bob leaves his home and starts walking to the bus stop at a constant speed of 9.3 feet per second. bob's house is 432
klio [65]
a. define variables for the quantities that are changing (be specific).
 We define variables:
 t = time in second
 d = distance traveled
 The variables that are changing are t and d.
 As the time increases, the distance decreases.

 b. what does it mean to say bob walks at a constant speed of 9.3 feet per second?
 It means that for every second that passes, Bob walks 9.3 feet.

 c. consider the formula d = 4320 - 9.3t i. what does t represent? ii. what does 9.3t represent? iii. what does d represent? 
 For this case we have:
 t = represents the time in seconds
 9.3t = represents the distance traveled by Bob
 d = represents the distance Bob must travel to get to the bus stop.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

C. x + 9 = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to identify which of the equations does not match with the others. In this case, solve for x in each equation:

Option A):

6 + x = 9

Subtract 6 from both sides:

6 (-6) + x = 9 (-6)

x = 9 - 6

x = 3

Option B):

15 = x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides:

15 (-12) = x + 12 (-12)

15 - 12 =  x

x = 3

Option C):

x + 9 = 11

Subtract 9 from both sides:

x + 9 (-9) = 11 (-9)

x = 11 - 9

x = 2

Option D):

7 + x = 10

Subtract 7 from both sides:

x + 7 (-7) = 10 (-7)

x = 10 - 7

x = 3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can tell, all the equations end with x = 3 as there answers except C. x+9=11, making (C) your answer.
