Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sf \ \ \ 404,699 \ \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

At the beginning the population is 240,000

After 1 year the population will be

240,000*(1+7.75%)=240,000*1.0775

After n years the population will be

$240,000\cdot1.0775^n$

So after 7 years the population will be

$240,000\cdot1.0775^7=404699.058...$

So rounded to the nearest whole number gives 404,699

Hope this helps

7) -6x + 6y=6<br> -6x + 3y=-12

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

(5,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x+6y=6

-6x + 3y =-12

Multiply the first equation by -1

6x-6y=-6

Add this to the second equation

6x-6y=-6

-6x + 3y =-12

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

-3y = -18

Divide each side by -3

-3y/-3 = -18/-3

y =6

Now we need to find x

6x - 6y = -6

6x -6(6) = -6

6x -36 = -6

Add 36 to each side

6x-36+36 = -6+36

6x = 30

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 30/6

x =5

Write down a differential equation of the form dy/dt = ay + b whose solutions have the required behavior as t → ∞. all other sol

nordsb [41]

The ODE has an equilibrium point at

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=ay+b=0\implies y=-\dfrac ba$

We want $y=2$ to be an unstable equilibrium solution - in other words, we want all solutions with initial condition $y(t_0)=c$ for $c$ near 2 to diverge from $y=2$ - so $-dfrac ba=2$ .

Divergence from $y=2$ would require that for $y>2$ , any solution is increasing, and for $y$ , and solution is decreasing. In order for that to happen, we need

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=ay+b>0\implies y>-\dfrac ba$

if $y>2$ , and

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=ay+b$

if $y$ .

Now we just pick $a,b$ to satisfy these conditions. An easy choice is $a=1$ , which forces $b=-2$ , so that one possible ODE would be

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=y-2$

I've attached a plot of the slope field to demonstrate the behavior of the solutions.

kyle bought 28 feet of wire at the handware store. the wire cost was $2.79per foot, including sales tax. if kyle paid with a $10

He should receive around $21.88. This is excluding the fact he still needs to pay the sales tax. I would subtract a few more dollars.

(NEED DONE QUICK) Two angles are supplementary. One of the angles measures 4(2x+9) and the other angle measures 2(4x-8) what is

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

$x=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles equal to 180°.

Therefore:

$4(2x+9)+2(4x-8)=180$

Now that we have our equation, let's distribute the $4$ and the $2$ into the parentheses they are next to:

$8x+36+8x-16=180$

Combine like terms:

$16x+20=180$

Subtract $20$ from both sides of the equation:

$16x=160$

Divide by the coefficient of $x$ , which is $16$ :

$x=10$

~

Check your work by substituting $10$ into one of the equations above:

$8(10)+36+8(10)-16=180$

$80+36+80-16=180$

$180=180$

It's correct!
