Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Cross multiply</u>

k/6 = 15/18

k(18) = 6(15)

<em>18k = 90</em>

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by 18</u>

18k / 18 = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer:  k = 5

<u>Another way to do it is to multiply both sides by 6</u>

k/6 * 6 = 15/18 * 6

k = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>k</em> in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property. The product of the extremes, (k)(18), equals the product of the means, (6)(15).

So we have (k)(18) or 18k = (6)(15) or 90.

Now we have the equation 18k = 90.

Dividing both sides by 18, <em>k = 5</em>.

It's a good idea to check the answer in these types of problems so if we plug a 5 back in for <em>k</em> in the original proportion, we have \frac{(5)}{6}= \frac{15}{18} which is a true statement since 15/18 reduces to 5/6.

A country's population in 1994 was 182 million. In 2002 it was 186 million. Estimate the population in 2004 using the exponentia
iogann1982 [59]
\bf =ae^{kt}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;1994\impliedby \textit{year 0, starting point}\\&#10;t=0\qquad P=182&#10;\end{cases}\implies 182=ae^{k0}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;182=a\cdot e^0\implies 182=a\cdot 1\implies 182=a&#10;\\\\\\&#10;thus\qquad P=182e^{kt}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf P=182e^{kt}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;2002\impliedby \textit{8 years later}\\&#10;t=8\qquad P=186&#10;\end{cases}\implies 186=182e^{k8}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{186}{182}=e^{8k}\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=ln(e^{8k})\implies ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)=8k&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{ln\left( \frac{93}{91} \right)}{8}=k\implies 0.0027\approx k\implies \boxed{P=182e^{0.0027t}}

what's the population in 2004?  well,  from 1994 to 2004 is 10 years later, so t = 10

plug that in, to get P for 2004
