The current population of a town is 10,000 and its growth in years can be represented by P(t) = 10,000(0.2)^t, where t is the ti

me in years.
1. By what percentage does the population increase by each year?


2. Which function is correctly rewritten to reveal the monthly growth rate of the towns population?

a P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^t

b P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^12t

c P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^1/t

d P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^t+12

Answer:

1) 20%

2) Choice a.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(t)=10000(0.2)^t

1) P(0) is the population initially.

P(1) is the population after a year.

\frac{P(1)}{P(0)} represents the population increase factor.

So let's evaluate that fraction:

\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}

\frac{10000(0.2)^1}{10000(0.2)^0}

\frac{0.2^1}{0.2^0}=\frac{0.2}{1}=0.2

0.2=20%

2) Let's figure out the population growth in terms of months instead of years.

P(t)=10000(0.2)^{t}

We want t to represent months.

A full year is 12 months, in a full year we have that P(1)=10000(0.2)^1=10000(0.2)=2000

So we want a new P such that P(12)=2000 since 12 months equals a year.

Let's look at the functions given to see which gives us this:

a) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12}=2000 \text{approximately}

b) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12(12)}=0 \text{ approximately}

c) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{\frac{1}{12}}=9889 \text{approximately}

d) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12+12}=400 \text{approximately}

So a is the function we want.

Also another way to look at this:

P(t)=10000(.2)^t where t is in years.

P(t)=10000(.2^\frac{1}{12})^t where t is in months.

And .2^\frac{1}{12}=0.874485 \text{approximately}

Two shops sell the same phone. In both shops it is £196. One shop increases the price by 17.5%. The other shop increases the pri
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

the 1st shop=196-(17.5/100×196)

=196-34.3

=161.7+196

=357.7

the 2nd shop=196-(22.5/100×196)

=196-44.1

=151.9+196

=347.9

so the difference between two shop is

357.7-347.9=9.8

Hailey's mixing two different coffee blends.  Represent them by x and y (in pounds).  Then x + y = 5 lb, and x = 5 - y.How much puree Sum. beans are we talking about here?
0.20x +0.80y = 0.60(5 lb)  Mult all 3 terms by 100 to get rid of factions:
20x + 80 y = 300.  Substitute 5-y for x:
20(5-y) + 80y = 300 => 100-20y + 80y = 300 => 60y = 200,  so                                                                                  y = 20/6 or 10/3 lb                                              den x = 5-10/3, or    x =5/3 lb
Use 5/3 lb of the first blend and 10/3 lb of the second blend to come up with 5 lb of a 60% blend.

Your answer is B. 2
This is because to rationalise the denominator, we need to multiply it by (3 - √7), so we get:
(3 + √7)(3 - √7)
3 × 3 = 9
3 × √7 = 3√7
3 × -√7 = -3√7
√7 × -√7 = -7
So all in all you get 9 - 7 which is 2.

I hope this helps!
