In the year 2000, the United States had a population of about 281.4 million people; by 2010, the population had risen to about 3

08.7 million.
Part A

Answer:

Part 1. 0.9259 % per year

Part 2. P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t); 338.6 million  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

P₀ = 281.4 million

P  = 308.7 million

Part 1. Growth rate

t = 2010 - 2000 = 10 yr

        P = P₀e^(rt)

308.7 = 281.4e^(10r)

e^(10r) = 1.0970

     10r = ln1.0970

        r = (ln1.0970)/10 = (0.092 59)/10 = 0.009 259  

        r = 0.9259 % per year

The 10-year continuous growth rate is 0.9259 % per year.

Part 2. Population model

The population model is

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259t)

where P is in millions and t is the number of years since 2000.

By 2020,

P = 281.4e^(0.009 259 × 20) = 281.4e^0.1852 = 281.4 × 1.203

P = 338.6 million

The estimated population in 2020 is 338.6 million.

The answer to all 11.
madam [21]

Answer:

The rate of the current is 2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the rate of the river is v miles per hour.

The speed of the boat is 12 miles per hour.

Let us assume also that the boat can go 21 miles in t hours in the downstream and 15 miles upstream at the same time i.e. t hours.

So, from the condition given we can write that  

12 + v = \frac{21}{t} ......... (1), and  

12-v =\frac{15}{t} ......... (2)

Now, adding those two equations we get  

24 = \frac{21}{t} +\frac{15}{t} = \frac{36}{t}

⇒ t = \frac{3}{2} hours

Now, from equation (1), we get,  

12 + v = \frac{21}{\frac{3}{2} } =14

⇒ v = 2 miles per hour

Therefore, the rate of the current is 2 miles per hour. (Answer)

A table contains the ordered pairs (3, 42.25) and (5, 50.75). If the relationship in the table is linear, explain how to find th
Basile [38]

Answer:

The linear relationship ( the linear equation ):

y = m x + b ( the slope-intercept form )

m = ( 50.75 - 42.25 ) / ( 5 - 3 ) = 8.50 / 2 = 4.25 ( the slope )

42.25 = 4.25 * 3 + b

b = 42.25 - 12.75

b = 29.50

y = 4.25 * x + 29.50

Answer:

The initial value is : ( 0,  29.50 ) or 29.50.
