A population of insects grows exponentially, as shown in the table. Suppose the increase in population continues at the same rate.

from the given table

when x=0 , y=20

when x= 1 , y = 30

We use this information to find exponential growth equation

General form of exponential growth is

y=a(b)^x

WE plug in the given values and find out value of a  and b

when x=0 , y=20

20=a(b)^0

20 = a

Now we find out b

when x= 1 , y = 30

30=20(b)^1

divide both sides by 20

\frac{3}{2} = b

So exponential function becomes

y=20(\frac{3}{2})^x

Now we find the insect population at the end of week 11

We plug in 11 for x

y=20(\frac{3}{2})^x

y=20(\frac{3}{2})^11= 1729.951171875

Round the answer to nearest whole number

1730 is the insect population at the end of week 11

The population of a town is increasing at a rate of 6.2% per year. The city council believes they will have to add another eleme
kow [346]

Answer:

The correct solution is "4.6".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Interest rate,

r = 6.2%

or,

 = 0.062

Amount,

A = 100000

Principle,

P = 76000

As we know,

⇒ A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^n

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ 100000=76000(1+\frac{6.2}{100} )^n

⇒ (1+0.062)^n=\frac{100}{76}

On taking log both sides, we get

⇒ n \ log_e(1.062)=log_e(\frac{100}{76} )

⇒                   n=\frac{ln(\frac{100}{76} )}{ln(1.062)}

By putting the values of log, we get

⇒                      =4.5622

or,

⇒                      =4.6
