A. The city we will use is Orlando, Florida, and we are going to examine its population growth from 2000 to 2010. According to the census the population of Orlando was 192,157 in 2000 and 238,300 in 2010. To examine this population growth period, we will use the standard population growth equation N_{t} =N _{0}e^{rt}
where:
N(t) is the population after t years
N_{0} is the initial population 
t is the time in years 
r is the growth rate in decimal form 
e is the Euler's constant 
We now for our investigation that N(t)=238300, N_{0} =192157, and t=10; lets replace those values in our equation to find r:
238300=192157e^{10r}
e^{10r} = \frac{238300}{192157}
ln(e^{10r} )=ln( \frac{238300}{192157} )
r= \frac{ln( \frac{238300}{192157}) }{10}
r=0.022
Now lets multiply r by 100% to obtain our growth rate as a percentage:
(0.022)(100)=2.2%
We just show that Orlando's population has been growing at a rate of 2.2% from 2000 to 2010. Its population increased from 192,157 to 238,300 in ten years.

B. Here we will examine the population decline of Detroit, Michigan over a period of ten years: 2000 to 2010.
Population in 2000: 951,307
Population in 2010: 713,777
We know from our investigation that N(t)=713777, N_{0} =951307, and t=10. Just like before, lets replace those values into our equation to find r:
713777=951307e^{10r}
e^{10r} = \frac{713777}{951307}
ln(e^{10r} )=ln( \frac{713777}{951307} )
r= \frac{ln( \frac{713777}{951307}) }{10}
r=-0.029
(-0.029)(100)= -2.9%.
We just show that Detroit's population has been declining at a rate of 2.2% from 2000 to 2010. Its population increased from 192,157 to 238,300 in ten years.

C. Final equation from point A: N(t)=192157e^{0.022t}.
Final equation from point B: N(t)=951307e^{-0.029t}
Similarities: Both have an initial population and use the same Euler's constant.
Differences: In the equation from point A the exponent is positive, which means that the function is growing; whereas, in equation from point B the exponent is negative, which means that the functions is decaying.

D. To find the year in which the population of Orlando will exceed the population of Detroit, we are going equate both equations N(t)=192157e^{0.022t} and N(t)=951307e^{-0.029t} and solve for t:
192157e^{0.022t} =951307e^{-0.029t}
\frac{192157e^{0.022t} }{951307e^{-0.029t} } =1
e^{0.051t} = \frac{951307}{192157}
ln(e^{0.051t})=ln( \frac{951307}{192157})
t= \frac{ln( \frac{951307}{192157}) }{0.051}
t=31.36
We can conclude that if Orlando's population keeps growing at the same rate and Detroit's keeps declining at the same rate, after 31.36 years in May of 2031 Orlando's population will surpass Detroit's population.

E. Since we know that the population of Detroit as 2000 is 951307, twice that population will be 2(951307)=1902614. Now we can rewrite our equation as: N(t)=1902614e^{-0.029t}. The last thing we need to do is equate our Orlando's population growth equation with this new one and solve for t:
192157e^{0.022t} =1902614e^{-0.029t}
\frac{192157e^{0.022t} }{1902614e^{-0.029t} } =1
e^{0.051t} = \frac{1902614}{192157}
ln(e^{0.051t} )=ln( \frac{1902614}{192157} )
t= \frac{ln( \frac{1902614}{192157}) }{0.051}
t=44.95
We can conclude that after 45 years in 2045 the population of Orlando will exceed twice the population of Detroit.

What is the height of the tv and is it square inches or inches ??
fiasKO [112]
To find the height of the TV you first need to realize that the question is giving you dimensions for a triangle. 

Every triangle has a hypotenuse and two sides. To find the hypotenuse you square both sides, add them, and then square root. So to find one of the sides you get the hypotenuse, square it, and subtract the square length of the given side. 

The equation is 25^2-20^2.
Which if simplified is 625-400, the then solution is going to be 225. 
You next will square root 225, 225^(1/2). Which your answer should be 15 inches for the missing side length.

suppose that an individual has a body fat percentage of 19.8% and weighs 162 pounds. How many pounds of his weight is made up of
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

32.1 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Percentage of body fat= 19.8%

Weight= 162pounds

Let us find 19.8% of the persons weight

=19.8/100*162

=0.198*162

=32.076

Therefore, 32.1 pounds of the weight is fat

Which of the following equations has a graph PARALLEL to the line y = 4x + 7
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

y = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation has the same slope as the equation given which means that they are parallel lines. This equation also has a y-intercept of -2.

I graphed both equations below to show you that they are parallel.

Noah earns $16 per hour babysitting. At his last babysitting job, he received a tip of
nalin [4]

Answer:

He must work for 115 hours to save at least $1900.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that you'll use is 65+16x=1900, with x being hours. I found the answer by using 65+16(115)=1905, which is the closest number you'll get before starting to use half hours and such.
