Pleasantburg has a population growth model of P(t)=at2+bt+P0 where P0 is the initial population. Suppose that the future populat

ion of Pleasantburg t years after January 1, 2012, is described by the quadratic model P(t)=0.9t2+6t+14,000. In what month and year will the population reach 21,100?

Answer: In June 2097

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the model, to find how many years t should take for  P(t)=21100 we must solve the equation  0.9t^2+6t+14000=21100. Substracting 21100 from both sides, this equation is equivalent to 0.9t^2+6t-7100=0.

Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are t_1= \frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2 -4*0.9*(-7100)}}{2*0.9}=-92.21 and t_2=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2 -4*0.9*(-7100)}}{2*0.9}=85.54. The solution t_1=-92.21 can be neglected as the time t is a nonnegative number, therefore t=t_2=85.54.

The value of t is approximately 85 and a half years and the initial time of this model is the January 1, 2012. Adding 85 years to the initial time gives the date  January 2097, and finally adding the remaining half year (six months) we conclude that the date is June 2097.

belka [17]

Answer:

Mean = 2

Standard deviation = 1.356

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Probability of taxpayers that make mistakes when filling out forms: p = 0.08

Sample size; n = 25

In binomial distribution;

Means is;

μ = np

Thus;

μ = 25 × 0.08

μ = 2

Formula for standard deviation here is;

σ = √(np(1 - p))

σ = √(25 × 0.08(1 - 0.08))

σ = 1.356

Answer and Explanation:

If, on the other hand, the graph "flexes" or "flattens out" to some degree when it goes to cross the axis, then the zero is of a higher multiplicity; that is, it'll be of multiplicity three, five, or higher.

When a graph doesn't start at 0, it means that the graphs before it is not shown.

For number 4, I'd suggest Graph 3.

For number 3, I'd suggest graph 1.

For number 5, Write something along the lines of "Graph 2 does not show the car stopping slowly, it stops suddenly. Then it starts going really fast and stops suddenly again."

I hoped this helped.
