The population in 2020 will be 57657.5 approximately

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Population in 2014, P = 62,500

Rate of decrease, r = 1.6%

Population in 2020, Q = ?

Number of years between 2014 to 2020 = 5 years

Population in 2020 = $P(1 - \frac{r}{100} )^t$

Substituting the value we get:

$Q = 62500(1- \frac{1.6}{100})^5\\ \\Q = 62500 ( 0.92252) \\\\Q = 57657.46$

Therefore, the population in 2020 will be 57657.5 approximately

What is the sum of the difference?

Alona [7]

Answer:

A. 9x^4 and 3x^5y

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve this:

first way:

You can solve this my substituting numbers for x and y in this case i used 2 for x and 3 for y and see which one is equal to the original equations

the second way is the regular way

when you add or subtract numbers with variables and exponents you want to add the constants and add the exponents in this case $5x^{4} +4x^2$ is the same as $(5x+4x)^(4+4)$ = $9x^4$ and you can do the same process for subtraction

$12x^{5}y-9x^5 y\\(12x-9x)^(5+5)*y$ = $3x^5y$

Megan is sitting in her car in a parking lot. The car next to her pulls forward. If Megan is looking only at the car next to her

Zina [86]

Answer:Backward

Step-by-step explanation:

If the car next to Megan is being Pulled Forward and Megan is seeing only the pulled car then her car appears to be moving backward.

This can be said by using the concept of relative velocity which states that the speed of the body with respect to the other is considered to be at rest.

Here Megan's car appears to move backward with respect to the car next to her due to the existence of relative velocity.
