Answer:\frac{32}{3}\left ( 1.0460\right )^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Population changes exponentially

P\left ( t\right )=ab^t

P\left ( 9\right )=16------1

P\left ( 9\right )=16=ab^8

P\left ( 18\right =24=ab^{18}-----2

divide 1 & 2 we get

\frac{24}{16}=\frac{b^{18}}{b^9}

\frac{3}{2}=b^9

Substitute b^9 in 1 we get

a=\frac{32}{3}

Thus P\left ( t\right )=\frac{32}{3}\left ( 1.0460\right )^t

Answer:

P(t)=10.6667(1.0461)^t

a\approx 10.6667

b\approx 1.0461

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a population, P(t) (in millions) in year t, increases exponentially.

The given values of he function are P(9)=16 and P(18)=24.

The formula for the population in the form

P(t)=ab^t

where, a is the initial population and b is growth factor.

P(9)=16 means P(t)=16 at x=9.

16=ab^9          .... (1)

P(18)=24 means P(t)=24 at x=18.

24=ab^{18}          .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1).

\dfrac{24}{16}=\dfrac{ab^{18}}{ab^9}

1.5=b^9

(1.5)^{\frac{1}{9}}=b

b\approx 1.0461

Substitute b^9=1.5 in equation (1).

16=a(1.5)

Divide both sides by 1.5.

\dfrac{16}{1.5}=a

a\approx 10.6667

Substitute the values of a and b in the given formula.

P(t)=10.6667(1.0461)^t

Therefore, the formula for population is P(t)=10.6667(1.0461)^t.

Find three consecutive even integers if three times the first integer is two times the third.​
drek231 [11]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the three consecutive even integers are -8, -6 and -4.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the three consecutive even integers are represented by:

n, n + 2, n + 4

The first integer is two times the third, hence:

n = 2(n + 4)

2n + 8 = n

n = -8

Thus:

n = -8

n + 2 = -8 + 2 = -6

n + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4

The integers are -8, -6 and -4.

Find the highest common factor of 14(3x+1)^ and 7(3x+1)​
ddd [48]

Answer:

The highest common factor is 7(3x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the highest common factor of both expressions

As we can see, the highest common factor of 7 and 14 is 7

Now, we have the second expression which is (3x+1)

No matter what the first expression is raised to, it still stands that the highest common factor we shall have there is 3x+ 1 as concerns the term

inside the bracket

Thus, the highest common factor of both terms is 7(3x + 2)
