Answer:

About 28,671,342 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This is compound growth problem. This goes by the formula:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is the future amount (in 3 years)

P is the present amount (28.5 million)

r is the rate of growth (0.4% = 0.4/100 = 0.004)

t is the time in years (3 years)

We first, need to find the rate of growth annually. It is given 0.4% every 2 years, so in 1 year that would be:

0.4%/2 = 0.2% = 0.002

Now, we put the information into formula and solve:

F=P(1+r)^t\\F=28500000(1+0.002)^3\\F=28500000(1.002)^3\\F=28,671,342

So, around 28,671,342 people will be infected in 3 years.

Combine Like Terms and Eliminate Parenthesis.<br>5z-[2z-(13z+8)]
katen-ka-za [31]

We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.

The first parenthesis is 13z+8. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).

So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

2z-13z-8

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

2z-(13z +8) = 2z-13z-8 = (2-13)z-8 = -11z-8

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

5z-(-11z-8) = 5z+11z+8 = (5+11)z+8=16z+8

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.

Logan and his friend went out to dinner and spent $18.50.They left a tip of $2.59.
maria [59]
To find this out, use a percent proportion, use cross products, and solve the equation.

\frac{2.59}{18.50}= \frac{p}{100} \\ 18.50p=259 \\  \frac{18.50p}{18.50}= \frac{259}{18.50} \\ p=14

So, the percent tip is 14%.

A geometric sequence is defined by the equation an = (3)3 − n.
Delvig [45]
PART A

The geometric sequence is defined by the equation

a_{n}=3^{3-n}

To find the first three terms, we put n=1,2,3

When n=1,

a_{1}=3^{3-1}

a_{1}=3^{2}

a_{1}=9
When n=2,

a_{2}=3^{3-2}
a_{2}=3^{1}

a_{2}=3

When n=3

a_{3}=3^{3-3}

a_{3}=3^{0}
a_{1}=1
The first three terms are,

9,3,1

PART B

The common ratio can be found using any two consecutive terms.

The common ratio is given by,
r= \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}
r = \frac{3}{9}

r = \frac{1}{3}

PART C

To find
a_{11}

We substitute n=11 into the equation of the geometric sequence.

a_{11} = {3}^{3 - 11}

This implies that,

a_{11} = {3}^{ - 8}

a_{11} = \frac{1}{ {3}^{8} }

a_{11}=\frac{1}{6561}
