Answer:

C. 1.8027

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential population growth model is given by:

P(t) = P_{0}e^{rt}

In which P(t) is the population after t years, P_{0} is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

At the beginning of a population study, the population of a large city was 1.65 million people. Three years later, the population was 1.74 million people.

This means that P_{0} = 1.65, P(3) = 1.74

Applying this to the equation, we find r. So

P(t) = P_{0}e^{rt}

1.74 = 1.65e^{3r}

e^{3r} = \frac{1.74}{1.65}

e^{3r} = 1.0545

Applying ln to both sides

\ln{e^{3r}} = \ln{1.0545}

3r = \ln{1.0545}

r = \frac{\ln{1.0545}}{3}

r = 0.0177

So

P(t) = 1.65e^{0.0177t}

What would be the population of the city 5 years after the start of the population study?

This is P(5).

P(t) = 1.65e^{0.0177t}

P(5) = 1.65e^{0.0177*5}

P(5) = 1.8027

So the correct answer is:

C. 1.8027

The ex- suffix often correlates a word to mean "outside", while the in- suffix often correlates a word to mean "inside". An exterior angle of a polygon would mean "an angle outside of a polygon". An interior angle of a polygon would mean "an angle inside of a polygon". Three exterior angles of this polygon would be angle B, angle D, and angle A. This is because these angles are outside of the polygon due to the extending lines from the shape. Two interior angles of this polygon would be angle 6 and angle 8 (explanation was given when I first began answering this question). Angle 9 would be exterior since it is outside of the polygon. Two exterior angles of the polygon that are congruent are angle D and angle 9, since they are both 90 degrees (right angles).

Irina18 [472]
Unfortunately, you haven't shared the "figure below" that shows the dimensions of this parcel of land.  Without being able to calculate the area of the parcel, you cannot really answer this question exactly.

Suppose that the area of the parcel were 6000 square meters.  Dividing that by 1500 square meters, we get 4, which represents the number of zebras that can live on this (example) parcel.

Figure out the area of your parcel, in square meters, and thend divide your result by 1500 square meters.  This will give your your answer.  Please note:  your answer will be a COUNT of zebras.  "meters" does not belong in this answer.

Given; D is the Midpoint of CE / Prove DE =1/2CE
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a prove;

Mathematically , since D is the midpoint of CE

Then;

CE = CD + DE

Also, since D splits the line segment into two equal parts as the midpoint, then CD must be equal to DE

I.e CD = DE

Hence, we can express CE as follows;

CE = DE + DE

CE = 2 DE

Divide both sides by 2

CE/2 = DE

Hence; DE = 1/2 CE
