For P(t) = 920*1.06^(2t), the current population is 920, the percentage growth rate is 6% semiannually, and the population in 4 years will be 920*1.06^8 = 1466.

Selection B is appropriate.

_____
The 2 in the exponent means the growth factor 1.06 is applied twice for each increment of t, that is, twice in 1 year (semiannually).

What is the value of the expression ?

zubka84 [21]

The value of this expression is $3 x 10^{6}$

In order to find this, you divide each term separately. First we'll start with the numbers in the front.

$\frac{4.8}{1.6} = 3$

Now that we have the first number, we look to the 10s and the powers they are raised to. Since we are looking at powers of the same number, we can use the properties of exponents to simply subtract the numbers they are raised to.

$\frac{10^{9}}{10^{3}} = 10^{6}$

Then we put the two back together for the final answer.

$3 x 10^{6}$
