Answer:
y = 5 e^r * t
Let y be the population in billions and t the value of elapsed years
7 = 5 e^r * t is the equation being used where t = 15
7/5 = e^r * t
ln 7/5 = r * t taking ln of both sides
r = .336 / 15 = .0224
y = 5 e^(.0224 t) is then our equation
Check - suppose you want y at 2020
y = 5 e^(.0224 * 20) would be the equation
y = 5 e^.449 = 7.83 billion - seems to be a reasonable answer
Answer:
135 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total surface area
= 2 * area of the triangular sides + area of the 3 rectangular sides
= 2 * 1/2 * 2.5*6 + 8*6 + 8*6.5 + 8*2.5
= 135 ft^2.
