There are 1875 shares in the company i believe
This exponential growth/decay (in this case decay because r<1) of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final value, i=initial value, r=common ratio or "rate", t=time.
Since the population decreases by 4.5% each year the common ratio is:
r=(100-4.5)/100=0.955 so we can say
P(t)=8500(0.955^t)
....
7000=8500(0.955^t)
14/17=(955/1000)^t taking the natural log of both sides
ln(14/17)=t ln(955/1000)
t=ln(14/17)/ln(955/1000)
t≈4.22 years (to nearest hundredth of a year)
Since t is the years since 2010, the population will fall to 7000 in the year (2010+4.22=2014.22, more than four years will have elapsed) 2015.
Answer:
(4.1000)+ (2.100) + (7.10)
I can’t see the image. I’ll still try to help. The line has to cross 7 on the y-axis (|). The line is positive so it should look something like this “/“ By doing rise over run, (5/1) It is supposed to go up 5 times for every one time it goes to the right. Sorry if this explanation is a little confusing. This is the most I can do without seeing the image.
18 - (9 x 14) This equation represents the sentence.
hope that helps :)
