The answer to this question is
Answer:
(a) P(t) = 12100*(1.04^t)
(b) in 2008, estimate of population is 16560 (to the nearest integer)
Step-by-step explanation:
Population in 2000, P(0) = 12100
Growth rate = 4% each year
(a) function model for the t year after 2000 (exponential model)
P(t) = 12100*(1.04^t)
(b) for 2008,
P(2008-2000)
= P(8)
= 12100*(1.04^8)
= 12100 * 1.368569
= 16559.7
= 16560 (nearest integer)
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
