a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.
b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:
m = -2400/12 = -200.
Hence the equation is:
P(t) = -200t + 29600.
2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:
P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.

Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 4 is in the hundredths place, so it represents 4 hundredths, or 4 x 1/100.
Answer:
Cone volume = [PI * radius ^ 2 * height] / 3 therefore,
Cone height = [3 * Cone Volume] / (PI * radius^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>In this case, every bottle has 500 mg of caffeine with a standard deviation of 25 mg. The equation of a bottle will be: 500 +/- 25mg caffeine per bottle.
To calculate a carton containing 30 bottles, you just need the equation with 30. It will become: (500x30) +/- (25x30)mg= 15000 +/- 750 mg of caffeine per carton</span>
if / means absolute value, then the answer is -3. The absolute value of 3 is 3, then you take the negative value of it, which is -3.
Btw, the absolute sign is ||, not //.
