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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

If 31,000 citizens died in an automobile accidents in 2015. how many died each hour

stira [4]

Work out the number of hours in 1 year:-

1 year = 365*24 = 8760

So the number dying each hour = 31,000 / 8760 = 3.54

What is the equation of this line?

QveST [7]

Answer:

y = (1/2)x - 3 Answer A is closest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the line are (0, -3) and (4, -1). Notice that I've intentionally chosen "nice" points whose coordinates are integers; this makes the math easier. The point (1, -5/2) is also on the line if you want to use it, but the math's a bit more complicated.

Going from (0, -3) to (4, -1), x increases by 4 and y increases by 2. Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.

The slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line is the most convenient to use here, since we can tell immediately from the graph that the y-intercept is (0, -3):

y = (1/2)x - 3

Answer A should be y = (1/2)x - 3 for improved legibility. 1 2 x is not correct as a way to express (1/2)x.

What is the value of x?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

x = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{BH}{DH} = \frac{HM}{HT} \\ \frac{6}{15 + 6} = \frac{9}{9 + x} \\ \frac{6}{21} = \frac{9}{9 + x} \\ 6(9 + x) = 9 \times 21 \\ 54 + 6x = 189 \\ 6x = 189 - 54 \\ 6x = 135 \\ x = \frac{135}{6} \\ x = 22.5$
