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.)
What does Q(t) = and what will the world population be at the beginning of 2019 ?

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.

If f(x) = 2x2 - 5 and g(x) = 3x + 3, find (f - g)(x).
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Answer: A. 2x2 - 3x - 8

Just subtract the functions and combine like terms
(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
(f - g)(x) = 2x^2 - 5 -(3x + 3)
(f - g)(x) = 2x^2 - 5 - 3x - 3
(f - g)(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 8

Give one real life example of each correlation: positive, negative, and no correlation.
mixer [17]
In a positive correlation, both variables increase together. An example of this is a company's profit's relationship with its sales. The greater the sales, the greater the profit.
A negative correlation is where one variable decreases with increase in the other. An example is the time taken to reach somewhere and the speed traveled at. The faster you move, the less the time.
No correlation means the two variables are not related. An example of this is as you get older, it does not mean you will get better grades.
