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

Find the 10-year continuous growth rate using P=P_{0}e^{rt}.

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.

Maria's book is longer than Brandon's. The difference in the two book lengths is 56
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set this up with 2 variables: lets say that Maria's book length is x and Brandon's is y.

We can see that Maria's book is 56 pages longer than Brandon's and can come up with an equation:

x=y+56

We also see that their booklengths add up to 348, and can get:

x+y=348

From here, we solve for x and y. We can use substitution to find y.

x+y=348

(y+56)+y=348

2y=292

y=146

Here we plug in for x:

x=y+56

x=(146)+56

x=202

Therefor we get that Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long

What makes a pair linear?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.
