It has been estimated that the population of Indianapolis is growing at a rate of 0.9% per year. Assuming that population growth

continues at this rate and the population of Indianapolis was 1,988,817 in January of 2016, estimate the expected population of Indianapolis in January of 2024.

Answer:

<em>2,136,605</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate growth, we use the formula shown below:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is the future amount (we want to find for Jan 2024)

P is the present amount (present population of 1,988,817)

r is the rate of growth (0.9% means 0.009)

t is the time in years (from Jan 2016 to Jan 2024 is 8 years, t = 8)

<em>Let's put these into the formula and figure out F:</em>

<em>F=P(1+r)^t\\F=1,988,817(1+0.009)^8\\F=2,136,604.5</em>

<em />

<em>Rounding we get the population in Jan 2024 to be </em><em>2,136,605</em>

The following is a student’s work when solving for y. There is a mistake in the work. What is the mistake? What is the correct a
laila [671]

Answer:

Part 1

The mistake is Step 2: P + 2·x = 2·y

Part 2

The correct answer is

Step 2 correction: P - 2·x = 2·y

(P - 2·x)/2 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

The student's steps are;

Step 1; P = 2·x + 2·y

Step 2: P + 2·x = 2·y

Step 3: P + 2·x/2 = y

The mistake in the work is in Step 2

The mistake is moving 2·x to the left hand side of the equation by adding 2·x to <em>P </em>to get; P + 2·x = 2·y

Part 2

To correct method to move 2·x to the left hand side of the equation, leaving only 2·y on the right hand side is to subtract 2·x from both sides of the equation as follows;

Step 2 correction: P - 2·x = 2·x + 2·y - 2·x = 2·x - 2·x + 2·y = 2·y

∴ P - 2·x = 2·y

(P - 2·x)/2 = y

y = (P - 2·x)/2

In fifteen minutes, greg's sailboat went 3/6 mile, gina's sailboat went 6/6 mile, and Stuart's sailboat went 4/6 mile. Whose sai
Radda [10]
To make this situation easier to understand, you must simplify these fractions.  3/6 is equal to 0.5
6/6 is equal to 1
4/6 is equal to 0.3333 repeating.

With this info we can tell that Gina's sailboat went to longest distant in the fifteen minutes.

Hope this helps! :)

Please explain and tell me how to do it please

The answer is b) y = 3x + 3.

To find this, we first need to find the slope. The slope formula is listed below.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation, m is the slope, and (x1, y1) is the first point, where (x2, y2) is the second point. We'll use (2, 9) and (3, 12) for the points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12 - 9)/(3 - 2)

m = 3/1

m = 3

Now that we have the slope at 3. we can use slope intercept form and one point to solve for the y-intercept. We'll use (2, 9) as the point.

y = mx + b

9 = 3(2) + b

9 = 6 + b

3 = b

When we use the slope and intercept together to get the equation. y = 3x + 3

What is 645/87 rounded to the nearest integer?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let us divide the two numbers as so-

645/87=7.41379310345\\

To round a number to the nearest integer, look at the decimal places.

Here we have .41 - The 4 is less than 5, so it cannot round the ones place to 8.

So our answer here is 7.
