a. Do some research and find a city that has experienced population growth. Determine its population on January 1st of a certain

year. Write an exponential function to represent the city’s population, y, based on the number of years that pass, x after a period of exponential growth. Describe the variables and numbers that you used in your equation. b. Find another city whose population starts larger than the city in part (a), but that during this same time experienced population decline. Determine its population for January 1st of the same year you picked for part (a). Write an exponential function to represent the city’s population, y, based on the number of years that pass, x after a period of population decline. Describe the variables and numbers that you used in your equation. c. Explain the similarities and differences between your equations in (a) and (b). d. During what year will the population of city (a) first exceed that of city (b)? Show all of your work and explain your steps. e. During what year will the population of city (a) be at least twice the size of the population of city (b)? Show all of your work and explain your steps.

Answer: You have a lot of work to do here. I can get you started in the right direction.

The growth equation that you are looking for will be in the form of:
 y = a(1 + b)^x.
A is the starting amount, b is the percent that you are increasing by and x is the number of years.

The declining equation that you are looking for will be in the form of:
y = a(1 - b)^x.
Again, a is the starting amount, be is the percent that you are decreasing by and x is the number of years.

I suggest you find an online graphing calculator and graph each equation. Then, you can answer the rest of your questions.

Ryann planned on swimming 14 miles. Instead, he was only able to swim 1/4 of that distance. How many miles did Ryan swim?
mote1985 [20]

Hey there,

Given the question it shows that Ryann swam 1/4 of 14 miles that he was supposed to swim.

In words of is another way to say 1/4 * 14...

  • 14/4

This expressed as a mixed number would be...

  • 3 and 2/4 or 3 1/2

Of the 14 miles that Ryann was supposed to swim he swam 3 1/2 miles.

Hope I helped,

Amna

Write as a single term: cos(2x) cos(x) + sin(2x) sin(x)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer: cos(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have  

sin ( x + y ) = sin(x)*cos(y) + cos(x)*sin(y)   (1)   and

cos ( x + y ) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y)  (2)

From eq. (1)

if x = y

sin ( x + x ) = sin(x)*cos(x) + cos(x)*sin(x) ⇒ sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)

From eq. 2

If x = y

cos ( x + x ) = cos(x)*cos(x) - sin(x)*sin(x)  ⇒ cos²(x) - sin²(x)

cos (2x) = cos²(x) - sin²(x)

Hence:The expression:

cos(2x) cos(x) + sin(2x) sin(x)  (3)

Subtition of sin(2x) and cos(2x)  in eq. 3

[cos²(x)-sin²(x)]*cos(x) + [(2sen(x)cos(x)]*sin(x)

and operating

cos³(x) - sin²(x)cos(x) + 2sin²(x)cos(x) = cos³(x) + sin²(x)cos(x)

cos (x) [ cos²(x) + sin²(x) ]  = cos(x)

since cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

y=640-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of ounces in the bucket is 640, and it decreases by 3 each minute. For example, if you plug in 3 for x into that equation (which would represent 3 minutes), you would lose 9 ounces of water, which makes sense in the terms of the equation.
