The population of a town has approximately doubled every 17 years since 1950. If the equation P=Po2k, where Po is the population

of the town in 1950, is used to model the population, P, of the town t years after 1950, what is the value of k?

The population of a town has approximately doubled every 17 years since 1950.

the equation P=P_02^k where Po is the population of the town in 1950, is used to model the population, P, of the town t years after 1950.

When t=17 yrs

   P=2p_{0}      

for 1 year

The equation becomes

P = P_02^\frac{t}{17}                               -------------(1)

Our original equation is

P=P_02^k----------------------------------(2)

equating expression 1  and 2

P_02^\frac{t}{17}=P_{0}2^k

Cancelling P_{0}  from both sides  we get

2^\frac{t}{17}=2^{k}

t/17=k

⇒k=t/17 is the solution.

5 + 14 x y = 9 x y - 5
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

xy = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve:

5 + 14xy = 9xy - 5

=> First subtract 9xy from each side of "="

5 + 5xy = -5

=> Now, subtract 5 from each side:

5xy = -10

=> Finally divide 5 on each side:

xy = -10/5

xy = -2

Hope this helps!
