Here is the work hope this helps!
the answer would be x=−0.870452,0.712370
The average number of hours can be calculated using the following rule:
average number of hours = total number of hours / total number of weeks
total number of hours = 36 3/8 + 41 1/4 + 40 1/2 + 38 3/8 = 313/2 hours
total number of weeks = 4 weeks
Average number of hours per week = (313/2) / (4) = 39 1/8 hour
Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is:
C. 39 1/8 hour
Answer:
y = 5 e^r * t
Let y be the population in billions and t the value of elapsed years
7 = 5 e^r * t is the equation being used where t = 15
7/5 = e^r * t
ln 7/5 = r * t taking ln of both sides
r = .336 / 15 = .0224
y = 5 e^(.0224 t) is then our equation
Check - suppose you want y at 2020
y = 5 e^(.0224 * 20) would be the equation
y = 5 e^.449 = 7.83 billion - seems to be a reasonable answer
