Answer:

In 20 years, the population will be about 80.3 thousand people

Step-by-step explanation:

If our first time is 0 and the population that goes along with that time is 70,000, we have a coordinate point where x is the time (0), and y is the population at that time (70).  Our next time is 10 years later, when the population is 75,000.  The coordinate point for that set of data is (10, 75).  Now we will use those 2 points in the standard form of an exponential equation to write the model for this particular situation.  

Exponential equations are of the form

y=a(b)^x

where x and y are the coordinates from our points, one at a time; a is the initial value, and b is the growth rate.  Filling in an equation with the first set of data:

70=a(b)^0

Anything raised to the power of 0 = 1, so b to the power of 0 = 1 and we simply have that a = 70.

Now we use that value of a along with the x and y from the next coordinate pair to solve for b:

75=70(b)^{10}

Begin by dividing both sides by 70 to get

1.071428571=b^{10}

Undo the power of 10 on the right by taking the 10th root of both sides:

(1.071428571)^{\frac{1}{10}}=(b^{10})^{\frac{1}{10}}

On the right side we simply have b now, and on the left we have

1.006923142=b

Now we have a and b to write the model for this situation:

y=70(1.006923142)^x

We need to find y, the population, in x = 20 years:

y=70(1.006923142)^{20}

Raise the parenthesis to the 20th power giving you

y = 70(1.147959784) and

y = 80.3 thousand people

When a trinomial is factored as (x + p)(x + q), what is the sum of p and q? A.The constant term of the trinomial B.The coefficie
Papessa [141]
It is B, the coefficient of the x-term.  When you multiply this out, you get x*x+x*q+x*p+p*q, or x^2+x(p+q)+p*q
Notice how the x term is multiplied by p+q.

Hope this helps!

Asssesmenttt lasttt......
ratelena [41]

Answer:

<em>( About ) 1.77 seconds; Option B</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation h ( t ) = - 16t^2 + 50, so in order to determine the time let us determine the x - intercept for y ⇒ 0;

- 16t^2 + 50 = 0,

- 16t^2 = - 50,

t^2 = 25 / 8,

Thus t ⇒ √ ( 25 / 8 ), and t ⇒ - √ ( 25 / 8 ),

t ⇒ ( 5√2 )/ 4, and - ( 5√2 )/ 4,

But time is represented only by a positive value, thus

t ⇒ ( 5√2 )/ 4 = 1.767766953......., ( About ) 1.77 seconds

<em>Answer; ( About ) 1.77 seconds; Option B</em>

-6/7,-3/7,0,3/7 .... create a formula that explains the arithmetic sequence
LenKa [72]

The formula that explain the arithmetic sequence is a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term in an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a+(n-1)d , where

  • a is the first term
  • d is the common difference between the consecutive terms

∵ \frac{-6}{7} , \frac{-3}{7} , 0 , \frac{3}{7} are some terms of an arithmetic sequence

∵ The difference between two consecutive terms = \frac{-3}{7} - \frac{-6}{7}

∴ The difference between two consecutive terms = \frac{-3}{7} + \frac{6}{7} = \frac{3}{7}

∴ The common difference = \frac{3}{7}

∴ d = \frac{3}{7}

∵ The first term is \frac{-6}{7}

∴ a = \frac{-6}{7}

- Substitute a and d in the formula above

∴ a_{n}=\frac{-6}{7}+(n-1)\frac{3}{7}

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ a_{n}=\frac{-6}{7}+\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{3}{7}

- Add like terms

∴ a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}

The formula that explain the arithmetic sequence is a_{n}=\frac{3}{7}n-\frac{9}{7}
