City A had a population of 10000 in the year 1990. City A’s population grows at a constant rate of 3% per year. City B has a pop

Georgia [21]

Answer:

City A and city B will have equal population 25years after 1990

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$t \to$ years after 1990

$A_t \to$ population function of city A

$B_t \to$ population function of city B

<u>City A</u>

$A_0 = 10000$ ---- initial population (1990)

$r_A =3\%$ --- rate

<u>City B</u>

$B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * A_{10}$ ----- t = 10 in 2000

$A_{20} = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%)$ ---- t = 20 in 2010

Required

When they will have the same population

Both functions follow exponential function.

So, we have:

$A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t$

$B_t = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^t$

Calculate the population of city A in 2000 (t = 10)

$A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t$

$A_{10} = 10000 * (1 + 3\%)^{10}$

$A_{10} = 10000 * (1 + 0.03)^{10}$

$A_{10} = 10000 * (1.03)^{10}$

$A_{10} = 13439.16$

Calculate the population of city A in 2010 (t = 20)

$A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t$

$A_{20} = 10000 * (1 + 3\%)^{20}$

$A_{20} = 10000 * (1 + 0.03)^{20}$

$A_{20} = 10000 * (1.03)^{20}$

$A_{20} = 18061.11$

From the question, we have:

$B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * A_{10}$ and $A_{20} = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%)$

$B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * A_{10}$

$B_{10} = \frac{1}{2} * 13439.16$

$B_{10} = 6719.58$

$A_{20} = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%)$

$18061.11 = B_{20} * (1 + 20\%)$

$18061.11 = B_{20} * (1 + 0.20)$

$18061.11 = B_{20} * (1.20)$

Solve for B20

$B_{20} = \frac{18061.11}{1.20}$

$B_{20} = 15050.93$

$B_{10} = 6719.58$ and $B_{20} = 15050.93$ can be used to determine the function of city B

$B_t = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^t$

For: $B_{10} = 6719.58$

We have:

$B_{10} = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10}$

$B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10} = 6719.58$

For: $B_{20} = 15050.93$

We have:

$B_{20} = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20}$

$B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20} = 15050.93$

Divide $B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20} = 15050.93$ by $B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10} = 6719.58$

$\frac{B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{20}}{B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10}} = \frac{15050.93}{6719.58}$

$\frac{(1 + r_B)^{20}}{(1 + r_B)^{10}} = 2.2399$

Apply law of indices

$(1 + r_B)^{20-10} = 2.2399$

$(1 + r_B)^{10} = 2.2399$ --- (1)

Take 10th root of both sides

$1 + r_B = \sqrt[10]{2.2399}$

$1 + r_B = 1.08$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$r_B = 0.08$

To calculate $B_0$ , we have:

$B_0 * (1 + r_B)^{10} = 6719.58$

Recall that: $(1 + r_B)^{10} = 2.2399$

So:

$B_0 * 2.2399 = 6719.58$

$B_0 = \frac{6719.58}{2.2399}$

$B_0 = 3000$

Hence:

$B_t = B_0 * (1 + r_B)^t$

$B_t = 3000 * (1 + 0.08)^t$

$B_t = 3000 * (1.08)^t$

The question requires that we solve for t when:

$A_t = B_t$

Where:

$A_t = A_0 * (1 + r_A)^t$

$A_t = 10000 * (1 + 3\%)^t$

$A_t = 10000 * (1 + 0.03)^t$

$A_t = 10000 * (1.03)^t$

and

$B_t = 3000 * (1.08)^t$

$A_t = B_t$ becomes

$10000 * (1.03)^t = 3000 * (1.08)^t$

Divide both sides by 10000

$(1.03)^t = 0.3 * (1.08)^t$

Divide both sides by $(1.08)^t$

$(\frac{1.03}{1.08})^t = 0.3$

$(0.9537)^t = 0.3$

Take natural logarithm of both sides

$\ln(0.9537)^t = \ln(0.3)$

Rewrite as:

$t\cdot\ln(0.9537) = \ln(0.3)$

Solve for t

$t = \frac{\ln(0.3)}{ln(0.9537)}$

$t = 25.397$

Approximate

$t = 25$

A cylindrical can of soup has a diameter of 7 cm and a height of 10 cm. How much soup is in the can, in terms of π?

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

B) 122.5π cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^{2} h$

r= radius , but we are given diameter or 7cm, radius = diameter/2 =7/2 = 3.5cm

h= height, given as 10cm

$\pi = constant$

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

$=\pi *3.5^{2} *10\\ \\ =\pi *12.25 *10\\ \\ =122.5\pi$

Therefore, the volume of soup in the can is 122.5 $\pi cm^{3}$

5 sweets cost 30p altogether, how much do 7 sweets cost?

Nezavi [6.7K]

The best way to find out what 7 sweets cost, firstly, you should find out what one sweet would cost. You have 5 sweets, with a total cost of 30p. You should divide 30 by 5, giving you 6p per sweet. To get the cost of 7 sweets, you have to multiply 6p by 7, giving you 42p. Therefore, the cost of 7 sweets is 42p. Hope this helps :)
