Answer:
Part 1. 0.9259 % per year
Part 2. P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t); 338.6 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
P₀ = 281.4 million
P = 308.7 million
Part 1. Growth rate
t = 2010 - 2000 = 10 yr
P = P₀e^(rt)
308.7 = 281.4e^(10r)
e^(10r) = 1.0970
10r = ln1.0970
r = (ln1.0970)/10 = (0.092 59)/10 = 0.009 259
r = 0.9259 % per year
The 10-year continuous growth rate is 0.9259 % per year.
Part 2. Population model
The population model is
P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t)
where P is in millions and t is the number of years since 2000.
By 2020,
P = 281.4e^(0.009 259 × 20) = 281.4e^0.1852 = 281.4 × 1.203
P = 338.6 million
The estimated population in 2020 is 338.6 million.
I believe it would be 264
X + y = 1
add - y both sides
x + y + - y = 1 + - y
x = - y + 1
Answer: x = - y + 1
Graph: y = - x + 1
x + 7y = - 4
add - 7 both sides
x + 7y + - 7y = - 4 + -7y
x = - 7y - 4
Answer: x = - 7y - 4
Graph: y = 0.142857x - 0.571429
2x - 6y = 4
add 6y to both sides
2x - 6y + 6y = 4 + 6y
2x = 6y + 4
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 6y + 4/2
x = 3y + 2
Answer: x = 3y + 2
Graph: y = 0.333333x - 0.666667
5x + 15y = - 10
add - 15 to both sides
5x + 15y + - 15y = - 10 + - 15y
5x = - 15y - 10
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = - 15y - 10/5
x = - 3y - 2
Answer: x = - 3y - 2
Graph: y = - 0.333333x - 0.666667
2x + 6y = 10
add - 6y to both sides
2x + 6y + - 6y = 10 + - 6y
2x = - 6y + 10
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = - 6y + 10/2
x = - 3y + 5
Answer: x = -3y + 5
Graph: y = - 0.333333x + 1.666667
Hope that helps!!!
