Answer:
<h2>(a) 5</h2><h3>> 5 is greater than 4</h3>
He chose the right type of equation equation, but the equation should be y=15/x
Answer:
<em>It will take 9 years for the population to double</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Growth
</u>
The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.
The population of a city grows at a rate of r=8% = 0.08 per year. We are required to find when (t) the population will double, or P=2Po.
Substituting in the equation:

Simplifying:

Taking logarithms:

Applying the exponent property of logs:

Solving for t:

Calculating:

It will take 9 years for the population to double
Answer:
The equation for the proportional relationship is y = 2.8x.
If the relationship between two quantities is a proportional relationship, this relationship can be represented by the graph of a straight line through the origin with a slope equal to the unit rate.
Solve : 3x-2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides of the equation :
3x = 2
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 2/3 = 0.667
Two solutions were found :
x = 2/3 = 0.667
x = 0
