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.

Two numbers in a ratio 5:4 . Their sun is 720.find the bigger number.show your reasoning
alina1380 [7]
5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
Work:
5(80)= 400

What is the numerator of the fraction equivalent to 3\5 that has a denominator of 30
aliya0001 [1]
Well, the numerator is the number on top, so in the fraction 3/5, 3 is the numerator. To find the equation with a denominator of 30 that is equivalent, find what the difference is. 30/5 = 6. So now, multiply the numerator by 6. 6 * 3 = 18. The new fraction is 18/30. The numerator is 18. Hope this helps!
