Answer: the population after 10 years is 12036

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^ t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 14000

r = 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015

t = 10 years

Therefore, the exponential decay equation to find the population of the town after 10 years is

A = 14000(1 - 0.015)^10

A = 14000(0.985)^10

A = 12036

What is the range of AB?
lana66690 [7]

a, b, c - sides of a triangle

Therefore:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

---------------------------------

We have a = AB, b = 140mi, c = 100mi.

(1)     a + b > c

AB + 140 > 100    <em>subtract 140 from both sides</em>

AB > -40 → AB > 0

----------

(2)    a + c  > b

AB + 100 > 140      <em>subtract 100 from both sides</em>

AB > 40

-----------

(3)    b + c > a → a < b + c

AB < 140 + 100

AB < 240

<h3>Answer: 40 < AB < 240</h3>

Answer:

1 inch =  3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

6 /2 = 3

1 in = 3 feet
