Answer:

The population would be 781.

The population is growing with the rate of 12.50 persons/yr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the formula for calculating the population, increasing with a rate per period,

A=P(1+r)^{n}

Where, P is the initial population,

r is the rate per period,

n is the number of period,

t is the total years,

Here, P = 500, r = 25 % = 0.25, n = 2 ( the number of '10 year period' of in 20 years is 2 )

Hence, the population in 20 years would be,

A=500(1+0.25)^2=500(1.25)^2=781.25\approx 781

Now, the rate of increasing per 10 year is 25 %,

⇒ The rate of increasing per year is 2.5 %,

Thus, the growing people per year = 2.5 % of 500 = 0.025 × 500 = 12.50

Hence, the population is growing at 12.50 person per year.

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

put down the 5,0 and 0,3 then simply start at the 5,0 and count up how many boxes it takes to get to the three then count left how many boxes it takes to get to 0 so...3/5. then look at the line. its going down which means it is negative. so the slope is -3/5

Tan(2 sin^-1 0.4)<br> Find the Exact value
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

tan(2u)=[4sqrt(21)]/[17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u=arcsin(0.4)

tan(2u)=sin(2u)/cos(2u)

tan(2u)=[2sin(u)cos(u)]/[cos^2(u)-sin^2(u)]

If u=arcsin(0.4), then sin(u)=0.4

By the Pythagorean Identity, cos^2(u)+sin^2(u)=1, we have cos^2(u)=1-sin^2(u)=1-(0.4)^2=1-0.16=0.84.

This also implies cos(u)=sqrt(0.84) since cosine is positive.

Plug in values:

tan(2u)=[2(0.4)(sqrt(0.84)]/[0.84-0.16]

tan(2u)=[2(0.4)(sqrt(0.84)]/[0.68]

tan(2u)=[(0.4)(sqrt(0.84)]/[0.34]

tan(2u)=[(40)(sqrt(0.84)]/[34]

tan(2u)=[(20)(sqrt(0.84)]/[17]

Note:

0.84=0.04(21)

So the principal square root of 0.04 is 0.2

Sqrt(0.84)=0.2sqrt(21).

tan(2u)=[(20)(0.2)(sqrt(21)]/[17]

tan(2u)=[(20)(2)sqrt(21)]/[170]

tan(2u)=[(2)(2)sqrt(21)]/[17]

tan(2u)=[4sqrt(21)]/[17]
