Answer:

I took them a total of 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply 65 by 2 because of the first two hours

Then you subtract 130 out of 364 to get 234, those were the first two hours

The next hours you simply divide 234/78, which is 3

Pleasantburg has a population growth model of P(t)=at2+bt+P0 where P0 is the initial population. Suppose that the future populat

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: In June 2097

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the model, to find how many years t should take for $P(t)=21100$ we must solve the equation $0.9t^2+6t+14000=21100$ . Substracting 21100 from both sides, this equation is equivalent to $0.9t^2+6t-7100=0$ .

Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are $t_1= \frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2 -4*0.9*(-7100)}}{2*0.9}=-92.21$ and $t_2=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2 -4*0.9*(-7100)}}{2*0.9}=85.54$ . The solution $t_1=-92.21$ can be neglected as the time t is a nonnegative number, therefore $t=t_2=85.54$ .

The value of t is approximately 85 and a half years and the initial time of this model is the January 1, 2012. Adding 85 years to the initial time gives the date January 2097, and finally adding the remaining half year (six months) we conclude that the date is June 2097.
