Answer:
x = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- x² - 8x - 16 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the leading negative )
x² + 8x + 16 = 0 ← this is a perfect square
(x + 4)² = 0 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = - 4
Answer:
At the start of 2014, the population was growing at 8.34 million people per year.
At the start of 2015, the population was growing at 8.39 million people per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how fast was the population growing at the start of 2014 and at the start of 2015 we need to take the derivative of the function with respect to t.
The derivative shows by how much the function (the population, in this case) is changing when the variable you're deriving with respect to (time) increases one unit (one year).
We know that the population, P(t), of China, in billions, can be approximated by 
To find the derivative you need to:

To find the population growing at the start of 2014 we say t = 0

To find the population growing at the start of 2015 we say t = 1

To convert billion to million you multiple by 1000

The answer is B because its a square so all sides are equal and then you factor
Answer:
multiply the population each year by 4% or 0.04
year 1 increase by 9600, population 249,600
year 2 increase by 9984, population 259,584
year 3 increase by 10,383, 269,967
year 4 increase by 10,799, 280,766
year 5 increase by 11,231, 291,997
year 6 increase by 11,680, 303, 677
Step-by-step explanation:
I rounded the totals.
Answer:
y = -8x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
m ---> Slope & b ----> y-intercept
8x + y = 12
Subtract 8x from both sides
y = -8x + 12
