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!

for these scenarios, write equations or inequalities that reflect the relationship. The minimum number of hours required to rent
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

100 + 35x \geq 280 is the inequality that reflect the relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Charge for rental =   $100

Additional charge =  $ 35

Minimum amount that can be spent =  $280

To Find:

equations or inequalities that reflect the relationship = ?

Solution:

Let x be the minimum number of hours

then the charge will  be

100  + (number of hours)(additional cost per hour)

That is

100 + 35x

Now the minimum charge amount is $280 So, The charge can be 280 or more than 280

100 + 35x \geq 280
