Answer:

This is a problem in exponential decay.

a) If a town's population decreases by 4.5% every year that also means that the town's population decreases by a factor of .955 each year.  (1 - .045 = .955)

So, after 5 years, the town's population is:

8,500 * .955^5 which equals 6,752.

So, basically, after t years, the town's population equals

8,500 * .955^t  where t is the number of years that have passed since the year 2010.

b) population = 8,500 * .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

7,000 / 8,500  = .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

0.8235294118  = .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

To solve for (number of years since 2010) we take logs of both sides

log (0.8235294118 ) = number of years since 2010 * log(.955)

-0.0843208857  = number of years since 2010 * -0.0199966284

-0.0843208857  / -0.0199966284  = number of years since 2010

4.2167551422  = number of years since 2010

So, population = 7,000 when the year is 2014.2167551422

Or about  2.6 months into 2014

(YES, it's just that "easy")  LOL

Plz need this asap ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW IT will give brainliest
Natalija [7]

Answer:

<u>1</u> would be your y axis

Step-by-step explanation:

1. so the y axis is up and down

2. the x axis is horizontal side to side

3. the x axis is 0

4. the y axis is positive 1

5. So your anwser would be in the format (x,y)

6. It is (0,<u>1</u>)

7. It is positive

8. Plz name me brainliest I would really appreciate it if you need more help just ask me

Thank You

An individual who has automobile insurance from a certain company is randomly selected. Let Y be the number of mov- ing violatio
Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) E(y) = 0.8

b) The average subcharge is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following distribution in the question:

y:           0        1        2         3

P(y):   0.50   0.25   0.20   0.05

a) E(y)

E(y) = \displaystyle\sum y_iP(y_i)\\\\E(y) = 0(0.50)+1(0.25)+2(0.20)+3(0.05)\\E(y) = 0.8

b) Expected value of subcharge

Subcharge =

\$110y^2

Expected value of subcharge =

=110E(y^2)\\\\=110\displaystyle\sum y_i^2P(y_i)\\\\=110(0^2(0.50)+1^2(0.25)+2^2(0.20)+3^2(0.05))\\=110(1.5)=165

Thus, the average subcharge is $165

Which of the following would best represent a cosine function with an amplitude of 3, a period of pi/2 , and a midline at y = –4
Grace [21]
To transform the function f(x)= cos(x) to have the amplitude of 3, we need to multiply the constant 3 to the function f(x), so we have y=3f(x)

To transform the function f(x)=cos(x) to have the midline y=-4 we need to subtract f(x) by 4, so we have y=f(x)-4, 

To transform the function f(x)=cos(x) to have period of \frac{ \pi }{2}, we need to divide the original period 2 \pi by 4, so we have y=f(4x). Note that it is the 4x gives the effect of dividing the points on x-axes by 4 and the period is read on x-axes

Hence, the full transformation is given y=3f(4x)-4 which is the last option
