In 1990, the rate of change of the world population was approximately 0.09125 billion per year (or approximately 1 million peopl

e every four days). The world population was estimated to be 5.3 billion in 1990.
Write an equation to model the population, P (in billions), in terms of t, where t is the number of years since 1990 (t = 0 corresponds to 1990)

A. P= 5.3 + 0.09125t

B. P= 5.3t + 0.09125

C. P= -5.3 + 0.09125t

D.P= -5.3t + 0.09125

Answer: Option A

P = 5.3 + 0.09125t

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that for the initial year, 1990, the population was 5.3 billion.

The exchange rate is 0.09125 billion per year. In other words, each year there are 0.09125 billion more people.

In year 2 there will be 0.09125 * 2 billion people

In year 3 there will be 0.09125 * 3 billion people

In year 4 there will be 0.09125 * 4 billion people

In year t there will be 0.09125 * t billion of people

So the equation that models the number of people that there will be as a function of time is:

P = P_0 + rt

Where P_0 is the initial population

P_0 = 5.3 billion

r is the rate of increase

r = 0.09125 billion per year

finally the equation is:

P = 5.3 + 0.09125t

The correct answer is option A.

Mr. Davis bought 2 chairs during the sale. The regular price of each chair was $168. What was the total price, in dollars, for b
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

tatol price= $335.16

Step-by-step explanation:

regular price for one item= $168

sale=1/2 %

168 × 0.5/100 = 0.84 (discount)

price of discounted chair= 168-0.86

                                         = 167.16

168+167.16 = $335.16

Can someone help me with solving systems by graphing please? (:​
Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: In graphing there are two letters x, and y also called X-axis and Y-axis. They are called ordered pairs. To graph on the bottom of the graph are numbers 1-10 or more, those are X. At the left is a straight line numbers 1-10 or more. Now to actually graph if you get an ordered pair lets say, 3,4. the number on the left is the X, and the number on the right is the Y. There is an end in the X-axis, and Y-axis. Start from there, you will always start at the bottom then the left. Start at the 0,0 go three times to left at the bottom, then at the left go up four times. when you get 3,4 add a dot. Then that's your answer. It pretty easy. Hope it helps you!

Dmitrij [34]

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ y = 4\frac{2}{3}x\qquad \qquad yes\qquad \checkmark\qquad \qquad k = 4\frac{2}{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ y=3(x-1)\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing}}{y=3x-3}\qquad \qquad yes\qquad \checkmark \qquad \qquad k=3

bear in mind that, direct proportional equations have a y-intercept.

for y = kx, is pretty much y = kx + 0, where 0 = y-intercept.

and the "k" constant of proportionality, is pretty much just its slope.
