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.

What is the slope of the line described by the equation below?
postnew [5]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: First convert the equation to y = mx + b form.

Start by subtract 4x from both sides to get -y = -4x + 3.

From here, divide both sides by -1 to get y = 4x - 3.

Now in y = mx + b form, the slope is the multiplier, or the <em>m</em>.

So here, 4 is the slope.

ANSWER AND SHOW WORK FOR 40 POINTS
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Q1) (x+7)² = 9

x = -10, -4

Q2) (x-8)² = 144

x = -4, 20

Q3) (x-1)² = 81

x = -8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1) x² + 14x + 49 = 9

x² + 2(x)(7) + 7² = 9

(x + 7)² = 9

x + 7 = +/- sqrt(9)

x + 7 = 3

x = -4

x + 7 = -3

x = -10

Q2) x² - 16x + 64 = 144

x² - 2(x)(8) + 8² = 144

(x - 8)² = 144

x - 8 = +/- sqrt(144)

x - 8 = 12

x = 20

x - 8 = -12

x = -4

Q3) x² - 2x + 1 = 81

x² - 2(x)(1) + 1² = 81

(x - 1)² = 81

x - 1 =+/- sqrt(81)

x - 1 = 9

x = 10

x - 1 = -9

x = -8

Solve using elimination x-2y=12 and 5x+3y=-44 <br> (4,8)<br> (-4,8)<br> (4,-8)<br> (-4,-8)
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

(-4, -8)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right  

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtraction Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

x - 2y = 12

5x + 3y = -44

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

x - 2y = 12

  1. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply everything by -5:                  -5x + 10y = -60

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

-5x + 10y = -60

5x + 3y = -44

<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

<em>Elimination</em>

  1. Combine 2 equations:                                                                                   13y = -104
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 13 on both sides:                              y = -8

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:                                                                               x - 2y = 12
  2. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                                                                                                x - 2(-8) = 12
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                           x + 16 = 12
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 16 on both sides:                      x = -4
