\bf \textit{Amount of Population Growth}\\\\
A=Ie^{rt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\\
r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\\
\end{cases}

a)

so, if the population doubled in 5 years, that means t = 5.  So say, if we use an amount for "i" or P in your case, to be 1, then after 5 years it'd be 2, and thus i = 1 and A = 2, let's find "r" or "k" in your equation.

\bf \textit{Amount of Population Growth}\\\\
A=Ie^{rt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &2\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &1\\
r=rate\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &5\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2=1\cdot e^{5r}\implies 2=e^{5r}\implies ln(2)=ln(e^{5r})\implies ln(2)=5r
\\\\\\
\boxed{\cfrac{ln(2)}{5}=r}\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{A=e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t}} \\\\\\
\textit{how long to tripling?}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=3\\
I=1
\end{cases}\implies 3=1\cdot e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t}

\bf 3=e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t}\implies ln(3)=ln\left( e^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot t} \right)\implies ln(3)=\cfrac{ln(2)}{5} t
\\\\\\
\cfrac{5ln(3)}{ln(2)}=t\implies 7.9\approx t

b)

A = 10,000, t = 3

\bf \begin{cases}
A=10000\\
t=3
\end{cases}\implies 10000=Ie^{\frac{ln(2)}{5}\cdot 3}\implies \cfrac{10000}{e^{\frac{3ln(2)}{5}}}=I
\\\\\\
6597.53955 \approx I

If 8 times a number is decreased by 5, the result is 23.what is the number.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The number is 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Form an equation.

8x-5= 23

2) Add 5 to both sides.

8x= 28

3) Divide both sides by 8.

X= 3.5

Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of each of the following convex polygons: a pentagon, an octagon, a dodecago
Margarita [4]
This likely has a pattern. Lets see if we can find it.

The sum of a triangle is 180
The sum of a 4 sided figure is 360
The sum of a 5 sided figure is 3*180 = 540
The sum of a 6 sided figure is 4*180 = 720
==========================
The pattern looks like it it (( n-2 )*180) for any polygon where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

You can convince yourself (but this is not a formal proof) by starting with a 6 sided figure. Pick one point on the figure where 2 sides meet. Draw diagonals to all the points not connected to the point you've chosen. You should be able to get 4 such diagonals. You have created 4 triangles.

4*180 = 720 just what your estimate said.d

8 sides will give 6*180 = 1080 degrees and if you keep going on the above table you will see 1080 come up for 8. I'd post a diagram but I don't know how to upload it.


This procedure is extremely important. There is a new math around where these kinds of problems are solved by reducing them to much simpler questions, and getting an answer for them. The pattern is what you are looking for.

Now you can do the rest of the questions.
Pentagon: (5 - 2) * 180 = 
Octagon: (8 - 2) * 180 =
dodecagon (12 - 2)*180=
40 sides 38*180 =  
100 sides 98 * 180 =

1/2 of Ila’s workspace is covered in paper. 1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes. What fraction of Ila’s workspace
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}          

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 1/2 of Ila’s work-space is covered in paper. 1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.

Ila’s work-space is covered in yellow sticky notes would be 1/3 of 1/2.

\text{Ila’s workspace is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}  

\text{Ila’s workspace is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1\times1}{3\times 2}  

\text{Ila’s workspace is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{6}

Therefore, \frac{1}{6} of Ila’s workspace is covered in yellow sticky notes.
