Answer:

13.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of the population each year is 5% less than 1, so is 0.95. Then the population in t years is multiplied by 0.95^t. We want to find t such that this value is 1/2.

0.50 = 0.95^t

log(0.50) = t·log(0.95)

log(0.50)/log(0.95) = t ≈ 13.5134 ≈ 13.5

The population will decline to half its original value in approximately 13.5 years.

74,443 the value of the digit 4 in the hundreds place is 10 time the value of the 4 in what place value?
Inessa [10]
ANSWER: 4 in the TENS place value.
EXPLANATION:
Okay so 74,443
It is asking if the digit 4 in the hundreds which is 400 is 10 times as large as what other 4 digit
Now the other 2 fours in this number are one in the thousands and one in the tens (4000 and 40)
If you multiply 4000 by 10 that is MUCH larger than 400
If you multiply 40 by 10 you would equal 400
Therefore the answer is the 4 in the TENS place value.

I couldn't remember the name of the rule 
I said that they are equal if you look at the curve AC and DB
They called them that two angles that subtended by the same mirror (arc)
lead them to be a similar angle (angle - angle - angle)
