The population of a city is growing at an average rate of 3% per year in 1990 the population was 45 000.

1 answer:

This is an exponential growth/decay problem...

F=Ir^t, F=final value, I=initial value, r=rate, t=time, in this case:

F=I(1.03)^t and they just want to know when F=2I so

2=1.03^t take natural log of both sides...

ln2=t*ln1.03

t=ln2/(ln1.03)

t≈23.45

So it will take approximately 23.45 years for the population to double..

1990+23.45=2013.45

So during the year of 2013 the population will have double from its 1990 level.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{ 9 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge \frac{ {9}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ = \huge \frac{ {( {3}^{2} )}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ = \huge \frac{ { {3}}^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{ {3}^{b} }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{1}{ {3}^{a - b} } \\ \\ \huge= \frac{1}{ {3}^{2} } \\ ( \because \: a - b = 2)\\ \\ \huge = \frac{1}{ 9 }$

An airplane flies 3800 km in 4 hours 45 minutes. What is its average speed in kilometers per hour?

8_murik_8 [283]

Average speed = (distance covered in some time) / (time to cover the distance)

4 hours 45 minutes = 4-3/4 hours = 4.75 hours

Average speed = (3,800 km) / (4.75 hours) = 800 km/hr
