Answer:

The population increased by 34.69% over 20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the population of dolphins increases at a constant rate of 1.5% every year for 20 years.

Formula for population increase:

P=a(1+r)^t

where, a is initial population, r is growth rate and t is time in years.

If the population of dolphins increases at a constant rate of 1.5% every year for 20 years, then the population after 20 years is

P=a(1+0.015)^{20}

P=a(1.015)^{20}

P=1.346855a

Where, a is the initial population.

The total percentage increase over the 20 years is

\% change=\frac{P-a}{a}\times 100

where, P is population after 20 years and a is initial amount.

\% change=\frac{1.346855a-a}{a}\times 100

\% change=\frac{0.346855a}{a}\times 100

\% change=0.346855\times 100

\% change=34.6855

\% change\approx 34.69

Therefore the population increased by 34.69% over 20 years.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The student currently has $50 and plans to save $15 every month.

Let x represent the number of months that the student will save enough money to buy the microscope.

Let y represent the amount that the student saves after x months.

The function that represents the amount y (in dollars) of money that the student saves after x months will be

y = 50 + 15x

The 50 remains constant because she has already saved it
