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 answer is 8 + x > 5
An equation or an inequality that contains at least one variable is called an open sentence.
When you substitute the variable in an open sentence with a number the resulting statement is either true or false. If the statement is true the number is a solution to the equation or inequality.

Hope this helps you !!

Which graph represents the function f(x)=(x-5)^2+3
hammer [34]

Answer:

Parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function

f(x)=(x-5)^2+3

The given function is an equation of parabola along y- axis.

General equation of parabola along y- axis  with vertex (h,k) is given by

(y-k)=(x-h)^2

y=(x-h)^2+k

Compare it with given equation then we get

h=5, k=3

Vertex of given parabola =(5,3)

Substitute x=0 then we get

f(0)=(0-5)^2+3=28

y-intercept of parabola is at (0,28).
