The population of a community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t. The initial

population P0 has doubled in 5 years. Suppose it is known that the population is 12,000 after 3 years. What was the initial population P0?

Answer:

P(0) = 7,917

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the community is given by the following formula:

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The initial population P0 has doubled in 5 years.

This means that

P(5) = 2P(0)

Which lets us find r.

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^{5}

(1+r)^{5} = 2

Applying the 5th root to both sides

1+r = 1.1487

r = 0.1487

So

P(t) = P(0)(1.1487)^{t}

Suppose it is known that the population is 12,000 after 3 years.

With this, we find P(0)

P(t) = P(0)(1.1487)^{t}

12000 = P(0)(1.1487)^{3}

1.5157P(0) = 12000

P(0) = \frac{12000}{1.5157}

P(0) = 7917

A 2.5​ ft wide circular track for a camera dolly is set up for a movie scene. The two rails of the track form concentric circles
Deffense [45]

Answer:

15.71 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

width of the circular track = 2.5ft

Suppose the radius of the inner circle is 57 ft since it is not given

Then the radius of the outer circle = (2.5 + 57) ft = 59.5 ft

The circumference of a circle = 2πr

For inner circle now, the circumference = 2 × π × 57 ft

For inner circle now, the circumference = 358.14 ft

For the outer circle, the circumference = 2 × π × 59.5 ft

For the outer circle, the circumference = 373.85 ft

The difference between the circumference of the outer wheel from the inner wheel shows how farther does a wheel on the outer rail travel than a wheel on the inner rail of the track in one​ turn

∴

= ( 373.85 - 358.14 ) ft

= 15.71 ft

Which equation in slope-intercept form represents a line that is parallel to y=−4x−5 and passes through the point (0,0)?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

\displaystyle y = -4x

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = 0 ± b

\displaystyle 0 = b \\ \\ y = -4x

* Parallel Lines have SIMILAR <em>RATE OF CHANGES</em> [<em>SLOPES</em>], so −4 remains the way it is.

A picture frame has a perimeter of 62 inches. The difference between the
castortr0y [4]
Answer: each width = 10, each length = 21

Explanation: from the question we know that L=2w + 1 and we also know that a rectangle has the perimeter of 62 when we plug it in the equation we will get 62= 2(2w+1+w) we will multiply the 2 now and we will get 62=4w+2+2w we will combine like terms and we will minus two from both sides ending up with 60=6w we will divide six from both sides and we will get w=10 then we will use l=2w+1 to find the length and it will be 21

Translate the sentence into an inequality. Eight times the sum of a number and 20 is greater than or equal to 25. Use the variab
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

8x + 20 ≥ 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Well 8 times the sum of a number "x" plus 20,

So we can write the following,

8x + 20

and that should be greater than or equal to 25

8x + 20 ≥ 25

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>as an inequality it is 8x + 20 ≥ 25.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>
