18.273 years will take to reach the population of 7500, if a town has a population of 4000 and grows at 3.5% every year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

             Population of 4000

             Rate of grow 3.5% every year

             Population after few years 7500

Step:1

            Formula to calculate the population with the grow rate every year,

                                   F=P(1+r)^{t}..........................(1)

           Where,

                    F - Population after t years

                   P - Initial population

                    r - Rate of grow

                    t - No.of years

          From given,

                  F = 7500

                  P = 4000

                   r = 3.5%

        Equation becomes (1),

                    7500=4000(1+0.035)^{t}

                     \frac{7500}{4000} = (1+0.035)^{t}

                   1.875 = (1+0.035)^{t}

                   1.875 = (1.035)^{t}

       Take log on both sides,

              log 1.875 = (t)log 1.035

       Substitute log values,

                 0.2730= (t) 0.014940349

                          t = \frac{0.273}{0.014940349}

                             = 18.273

                          t = 18.273 year

                             or

                         t = 18 years 3 months 2 weeks

Result:

          18.273 years will take to reach the population of 7500, if a town has a population of 4000 and grows at 3.5% every year.

If y = kx, what is the value of k if y = 20 and x = 0.4? A) 5 B) 8 C) 9.6 D) 50
Margaret [11]
Answer: D, 50
y = kx          <span>y = 20 and x = 0.4
</span>
What you will do: You will plug in your y and your x.
Your equation should look like: 20=k(0.4)
Next: What you will do is divide each side of your equal sign by 0.4 so you will get your k alone.
You would get: k=50

HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^

An oven heating element turns on when the internal temperature falls to 20 degrees below the set temperature and turns off when
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The range of the oven is 385\leq T\leq 410

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The internal temperature falls to 20 degrees below the set temperature and turns off when the temperature reaches 5 degrees above the set temperature.

You preheat the oven to 405 degrees before putting a cake in and baking it for an hour at 405.

The internal temperature falls to 20 degrees, therefore the lowest set can be:

405-20=385 degree.

The temperature reaches 5 degrees above the set temperature 405, therefore the upper set is: 405+5=410 degree.

Hence, the temperature will be lying between 385 degree and 410 degree.

This can be written as: 385\leq T\leq 410

Hence, the range of the oven is 385\leq T\leq 410
