The world population at the beginning of 1980 was 4.5 billion. Assuming that the population continued to grow at the rate of app

roximately 1.3%/year, find a function Q that expresses the world population (in billions) as a function of time t (in years). (Let t = 0 represent 1980 where t is years since 1980.)

Answer:

Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}

The world population at the beginning of 2019 will be of 7.45 billion people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The world population can be modeled by the following equation.

Q(t) = Q(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which Q(t) is the population in t years after 1980, in billions, Q(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The world population at the beginning of 1980 was 4.5 billion. Assuming that the population continued to grow at the rate of approximately 1.3%/year.

This means that Q(0) = 4.5, r = 0.013

So

Q(t) = Q(0)(1+r)^{t}

Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}

What will the world population be at the beginning of 2019 ?

2019 - 1980 = 39. So this is Q(39).

Q(t) = 4.5(1.013)^{t}

Q(39) = 4.5(1.013)^{39} = 7.45

The world population at the beginning of 2019 will be of 7.45 billion people.

A triangle with the coordinates (6,4), (2,-1), and (-3,5) is translated 4 Units left and rotate 180 degrees about the origin. Wh
ankoles [38]

Answer:

(-2,-4),(2,1), and (7,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has coordinates (6,4), (2,-1), and (-3,5).

When we translate 4 units left, the we obtain:

(6,4)------>(6-4,4)=(2,4)

(2,-1)----->(2-4,-1)=(-2,-1)

(-3,5)----->(-3-4,5)=(-7,5)

When the resulting figure is rotated 180° about the origin, the coordinates of the final figure becomes

(2,4)------>(-2,-4)

(-2,-1)----->(2,1)

(-7,5)------->(7,-5)

NB: The mapping for 180° rotation is:

(x,y)----->(-x,-y)

A paperweight is shaped like a triangular pyramid. The base is an equilateral triangle. Find the surface area of the paperweight
melomori [17]

Answer:

<h2>8.3 in²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

three triangles with the base <em>b = 2 in.</em> and the height <em>h₁ = 2.2 in.</em>

one triangle with the base <em>b = 2 in. </em>and the height <em>h₂ = 1.7 in.</em>

The formula of an area of a triangle:

A=\dfrac{b\cdot h}{2}

<em>b</em><em> - base</em>

<em>h</em><em> - height</em>

Substitute:

A_1=\dfrac{(2)(2.2)}{2}=\dfrac{4.4}{2}=2.2\ in^2

A_2=\dfrac{(2)(1.7)}{2}=1.7\ in^2

S.A.=3A_1+A_2

S.A.=3(2.2)+1.7=6.6+1.7=8.3\ in^2
