Answer:
19 million
Step-by-step explanation:
So generally whenever we express a exponential function, it's in the form:
where a=initial value aka when x=0
in this case, b can be expressed as: , where r is the growth rate, which in this case is 2.13%, and expressing that as a decimal (divide by 100), r=0.0213, thus b=1.0213
This gives us the following equation:
To kind of give you a intuitive reason as to why this makes sense, think of that 1.0213 wrapping around the previous value.
So when x=0, it's actually just 16, since any number (besides 0) to the power of 0, equals 1.
When x=1, we get: , which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 0
When x=2, we get: , which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 1
when x=3, we get: , which can be expressed as a 2.13% increase from year 2.
In other words, each year we're getting another 1.0213 to multiply by (very definition of an exponent).
So to calculate the population in 1997, we put in x=7, since it's 7 years after 1990
We get the following equation:
Using a calculator this simplifies to approximately:
Rounding this to the nearest integer would yield 19, and since the values are expressed in millions, the answer would be 19 million
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
(Subtract 2L from both sides of the equation)
(Symmetric Property of Equality)
(Divide both sides of the equation by 2)
("Split" the fractions)
(Simplify)
Hope this helps!
Lets use the formula to solve this, where,
- R is the rate
- W is the number of workers/things
- T is time
- J is number of jobs/things
<em><u>"If it takes 10 seconds for 10 printers to print out 10 pages of paper"</u></em> - here -
W is 10 printers, T is 10 seconds, and J is 10 pages. We can write:
<u><em>"how many seconds will it take 50 printers to print out 50 pages of paper"</em></u><em> - here we use (previously found) to figure out T.</em>
<em></em>
So it will take 10 seconds for 50 printers to print 50 pages.
ANSWER: 10 seconds
