Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

c= 85

b= 84

a²+(84)²=85²

a²+7056=7225

a²=169

square root of a² = square root of 169

a=13

The initial population of a town is 2600, and it grows with a doubling time of 10 years. Determine how long it will take for the

choli [55]

Answer:

It will take the 20 years for the population to quadruple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential population growth:

An exponential model for population growth has the following model:

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

It grows with a doubling time of 10 years.

This means that $P(10) = 2P(0)$ . We use this to find r. So

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^10$

$(1+r)^10 = 2$

$\sqrt[10]{(1+r)^10} = \sqrt[10]{2}$

$1+r = 2^{\frac{1}{10}}$

$1 + r = 1.0718$

So

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$P(t) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

Determine how long it will take for the population to quadruple.

This is t for which P(t) = 4P(0). So

$P(t) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

$4P(0) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

$(1.0718)^t = 4$

$\log{(1.0718)^t} = \log{4}$

$t\log{1.0718} = \log{4}$

$t = \frac{\log{4}}{\log{1.0718}}$

$t = 20$

It will take the 20 years for the population to quadruple.

Find the solution to the system of equations y=−7x+3y=−x−3

babunello [35]

Answer:

x=1, y=-4. (1, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-7x+3

y=-x-3

-------------

-7x+3=-x-3

-7x-(-x)+3=-3

-7x+x=-3-3

-6x=-6

6x=6

x=6/6

x=1

y=-1-3=-4
