Answer:

An equation to model the population of mastertown (y) based on a number of years since 2012(x) is y=23000(1+0.02)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The population of mastertown was 23,000 in 2012. assume that mastertowns population increased at a rate of 2% per year.

To find : write an equation to model the population of mastertown (y) based on a number of years since 2012(x).

Solution :

There is an exponential growth :

The equation for the growth of the population is given by:

y=a(1+r)^x

where

a is the initial amount,

x is the number of years,

r represents the growth rate( in decimal)

y represents the population of Master-town based on number of years.

According to question,

The population of mastertown was 23,000 in 2012.

i.e, a= 23000

Mastertowns population increased at a rate of 2% per year.

r=2%=0.02

Substitute in function we get,

y=23000(1+0.02)^x

An equation to model the population of mastertown (y) based on a number of years since 2012(x) is y=23000(1+0.02)^x

Exponential growth is

F=P(1+r)^t
F=future amount
P=present amount
r=rate
t=time in years

rate=2%=0.02
therefor the equation is
f(x)=23,000(1+0.02)^x
f(x)=23,000(1.02)^x
where x=time in years from 2012

9/11 =?/22 what is the answer
hammer [34]
If you would like to solve the equation 9/11 = x/22, you can calculate this using the following steps:

9/11 = x/22    /*22
x = 9/11 * 22
x = 18

The correct result would be 18.

You need 112 K-cups for a party. A box of K-cups costs $16 for 36 K-cups. What is the minimum amount of money you will spend?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

$49.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation setup I used for this was as follows: $16 x (112/36)

Using PEMDAS, you'd start with the division part, 112/36. Although, I did this a bit differently, and being a bit further in school, I don't know if you go through this where you're at.

Start by factoring 112 into 4(28). This leaves you with 4(28)/36.

Next, cancel 4 out of 36. Since 4 is the common factor in 28 and 36, you cancel the four out of the equation, leaving you with 28/9. Convert this to its decimal form, 3.1.

Finally, take the 3.1 and multiply that by $16, which comes out to $49.60.

Answer:

The only answer is 67 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line is 180 degrees and x is one part and the other part is 113 degrees, so if you do 180-113 it will be 67.
