Let x- intercept represents time
Let y-intercept represents population
Let 1990 represent initial year
Points are (0,14.2)(10,12.4)
slope m= 
= 
General linear equation
y= mx+b --------------(i)
here m is slope and b is intercept
plug the 1st point in equation
14.2= -0.018(0) + b
b=14.2
y= 0.018x + 14.2
replace y with p(t) and x with t
p(t) = -0.018t + 14.2
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to apply the following identity:
Then, applying this, you know that for 
:
We need to remember that:
and 
Therefore, we need to substitute these values into .
Then, you get:
Answer:
there are no expressions in the question, so I can't help you. Can you post the expressions?
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
if y = 4, then 4 + 9 = 13
