Answer:
335,979 people (in Year 2020)
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial Population (Year 2010) = 250,000
Rate of Growth = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03
We want the population of the town in Year 2020 (at this rate). That is 10 years from now.
The formula for compound growth is:
Where
F is the future value (in year 2020)
P is the present value (250,000)
r is the rate of increase per year (0.03)
t is the time in years (t = 10)
Lets substitute and find the value:
Rounded, that would be:
335,979 people (in Year 2020)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin the solution by squaring both sides of the given equation. We get:
(3x - 4)^2 = 2x^2 - 2x + 2, or:
9x^2 - 24x + 16 = 2x ^2 - 2x + 2
Combining like terms results in:
7x^2 - 22x + 14 = 0
and the coefficients are a = 7, b = -22, c = 14, so that the discriminant of the quadratic formula, b^2 - 4ac becomes (-22)^2 - 4(7)(14) = 92
According to the quadratic formula, the solutions are
-b ± √discriminant -(-22) ± √92 22 ± √92
x = ------------------------------- = ----------------------- = ------------------------
2a 14 14
-16 because you need to subtract -4 from -12
The equation may also have one common root or no real roots. This gives the maximum number of points where the parabola<span> intersect as </span>2<span>. ... When that is the case, the twp </span>parabolas<span> intersect at 4 </span>distinct<span> points. The maximum number of points of intersection of </span>two distinct parabolas<span> is 4.</span>
