Answer:

The population in 40 years will be 1220.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population present at time t.

This means that:

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

In which P(t) is the population after t years, P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The initial population of 500 increases by 25% in 10 years.

This means that P(0) = 500, P(10) = 1.25*500 = 625

We apply this to the equation and find t.

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

625 = 500e^{10r}

e^{10r} = \frac{625}{500}

e^{10r} = 1.25

Applying ln to both sides

\ln{e^{10r}} = \ln{1.25}

10r = \ln{1.25}

r = \frac{\ln{1.25}}{10}

r = 0.0223

So

P(t) = 500e^{0.0223t}

What will be the population in 40 years

This is P(40).

P(t) = 500e^{0.0223t}

P(40) = 500e^{0.0223*40} = 1220

The population in 40 years will be 1220.

The gas tank of the truck holds 30 gallons the gas tank of a passenger car holds 50% less how many gallons does it hold?
love history [14]

Answer:

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much the passenger car holds, we need to first find what 50% of the trucks gas tank holds.

Truck Gas Tank = 30 gallons

Now we find how much 50% of 30 is:

50% = 0.50

Total = 30 x 0.50

Total = 15 Gallons

So the passenger car holds 15 gallons of gas.
