Answer:

313,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent number of years after Beth's 9th birthday.

We have been given that since Beth was born the population of her towns has increased at a rate of 850 people per year. So number of people increased in t years would be 850t.

We are also told that on Beth's 9th birthday the total population was nearly 307,650. This means that t-intercept is 307,650.

The population of town t years after Beth's birthday would be P(t)=850t+307,650.

To find population on Beth's 16th birthday, we will substitute t=7 in our equation as Beth's 16th birthday would be 7 years after 9th birthday.

P(t)=850(7)+307,650

P(7)=5950+307,650

P(7)=313,600

Therefore, the population on Beth's 16th birthday would be 313,600.

If two standard six-sided dice are tossed, what is the probability that a 5 is rolled on at least one of the two dice? express y
zaharov [31]
We define the probability of a particular event occurring as:
\frac{number\ of \ desired\ outcomes}{number\ of\ possible\ outcomes}

What are the total number of possible outcomes for the rolling of two dice? The rolls - though performed at the same time - are <em>independent</em>, which means one roll has no effect on the other. There are six possible outcomes for the first die, and for <em>each </em>of those, there are six possible outcomes for the second, for a total of 6 x 6 = 36 possible rolls.

Now that we've found the number of possible outcomes, we need to find the number of <em>desired</em> outcomes. What are our desired outcomes in this problem? They are asking for all outcomes where there is <em>at least one 5 rolled</em>. It turns out, there are only 3:

(1) D1 - 5, D2 - Anything else, (2), D1 - Anything else, D2 - 5, and (3) D1 - 5, D2 - 5

So, we have \frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12} probability of rolling at least one 5.

Which shows the first step in the solution to the<br> equation log₂x + log₂(x - 6) = 4?
iren [92.7K]

log was used calculate big numbers before calculators

log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent

example

log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16

logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z

log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)

(log(x-6)x) = log(16)

x=8
