Answer: Option B is correct
The expression to estimate the population of the country in 2005 is given by
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
In 1985, there was population of 145 millions.
Similarly,
In 1995, there was a population of 190 million .
Use the formula,
where A denotes the initial population and t denotes the number of years.
So, the expression becomes
∵ time period between 1985 to 2005 is 20 years.
So we take t=20 years.
So, the expression to estimate the population of the country in 2005 is given by

Let's call n the number of days Marika's been training for the race, and the distance she runs on the nth day in meters. After the first day, when n = 1, she runs 100 meters, so
On the second day, she runs an additional 4 meters, on the third day, another 4, and so on. Here's what that looks like mathematically:
It would be easier to write this continued addition as multiplication, in which case those same equations would look like
Notice that, in every case, the number 4 is being multiplied by is 1 less than n. We could even write for our first term that . In general, we can say that
Which is expressed by option B.
