Answer:

A) 63.36 years.

B) 100.42 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the population of the world was 7.1 billion in 2013, and the observed relative growth rate was 1.1% per year.

A) Since we know that population increases exponentially, therefore we will use our given information to form an exponential model for population increase and then we will solve for the time by which our population will be double.

P(t)=7.1(1.011)^{t}            

7.1 \times 2=7.1(1.011)^{t}  

\frac{7.1 \times 2}{7.1} =(1.011)^{t}

2 =(1.011)^{t}

Now let us solve for t using logarithm.

ln(2) =ln (1.011)^{t}      

ln(2) =t \cdot ln(1.011)

0.6931471805599453 =t \cdot 0.0109399400383344  

t=\frac{0.6931471805599453}{0.0109399400383344}

t=63.3593217267282743049\approx 63.36

Therefore, it will take 63.36 years the population to be double.

B) Now we will find the number of years it will take the population to be triple of its size.

7.1 \times 3=7.1(1.011)^{t}

\frac{7.1 \times 3}{7.1} =(1.011)^{t}  

3 =(1.011)^{t}

Now let us solve for t using logarithm.        

ln(3) =ln (1.011)^{t}

ln(3) =t \cdot ln(1.011)

1.0986122886681097 =t \cdot 0.0109399400383344  

t=\frac{1.0986122886681097}{0.0109399400383344}

t=100.4221490079915311298\approx 100.42

Therefore, it will take 100.42 years the population to triple of its size.

Which possibly forms a triangle
svp [43]

Answer:

C. 17, 12, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater then the length of the third side. If you can show any two segments, the sum of whose lengths is less than the length of the third segment, that cannot form a triangle.

In choices A, B, and D, there is at least one sum of the lengths of two segments that is less then the length of the third segment. That shows that choices A, B, and D cannot form triangles.

A. 8 + 7 = 15 < 16 No

B. 9 + 7 = 16 = 16 No

D. 11 + 5 = 16 < 17 No

C.

17 + 12 = 29 > 7

12 + 7 = 19 > 17

17 + 7 = 24 > 12

Yes
