City planners anticipate an 8.2% population growth per year, including new residents and births. The population, in millions of

people, based on this increase can be modeled by the function p(x) = 2.5(1.082), where x is the number of years of tracked growth. The planners also estimate a 3% population loss over the same time period that can be modeled by the function L(p) = p(0.97).​

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the third option,

L(p(x))=2.425(1.082)^{x}

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement we know the function that models the population growth over the years (p(x)) but we have been told that there is an estimated loss that can be modeled by the function L(p), so in order to find which function represents the final function, we need to composite the function, which is the same that evaluate p(x) into the function L(p).

We are given:

p(x)=2.5(1.082)^{x}

and

L(p(x))=p(0.97)

So, the evaluationg p(x) into L(p), we have:

L(p(x))=p(0.97)\\\\L(p(x))=2.5(1.082)^{x}*(0.97)=0.97*2.5(1.082)^{x} \\\\L(p(x))=0.97*2.5(1.082)^{x}=2.425(1.082)^{x}\\\\L(p(x))=2.425(1.082)^{x}

Hence, the correct option is:

The third option,  

L(p(x))=2.425(1.082)^{x}

Have a nice day!

Dvinal [7]
I think you are asking for the quotient of the numbers because base from the choices the units are meters per second and the given has units of meters and seconds. So, the quotient of the numbers is 43.218 meters per second which is option B.
