Answer:
the answer I'd 1.008
Step-by-step explanation:
mark as brainliest:)
Given parameters:
Current population = 530,300 people
Growth rate = 0.8% per year
Unknown
Population in 15 more years = ?
To solve this problem, we must compound the increase per year.
This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.
Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,
it is similar to 1 +
= 1.008 increase
Now the population in 15years will be;
530300 x (1.008)¹⁵ = 597626 people
So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people
to solve for the dimensions (x+7)(x+2)=66,
we can first use the foiling method to simplify the left side.
x^2 + 2x + 7x + 14 = 66
x^2 + 9x + 14 = 66
now, subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 + 9x - 52 = 0
now, split this into two parentheses.
(x + 13)(x - 4)
since the root of -13 would give you negative values, x=4. This means that the dimensions of the rectangle are 11 and 6.
