<span>16 years ago = - 16
Present population -16 = </span><span>15,000 (population)
</span>
11% increase = every year =0.11

present year = <span>15,000 x 0.11^16
= 15,000 x 4.594
approx = 68,925</span>

Diego's investment in a stock grew 28% to $448. how much did he invest?

jolli1 [7]

$322.56
You change 28% to .28 then multiply that with $448=$125.44
Then you minus that from $448=$322.56

The number of cases of a new disease can be modeled by the quadratic regression equation y = –2x2 + 36x + 6, where x represents

nirvana33 [79]

Since x represents the year, year 15 will be 15 years.

Plug in "15" as your "x"

y = -2(15)^2 + 36(15) + 6

15^2 = 225 (Exponents come before multiplication)

y = -2(225) + 36(15) + 6

y = -450 + 540 + 6

y = 90 + 6

y = 96

<em>The answer is B</em>

Janet has $120. If she saves$20 per week, in how many days will she have $500?

maxonik [38]

She will have $500 in 5 days because when she takes out the 20 every week she will have had $100 so to make $500 she will have to have made 5 $100

Which equation has the solutions x=1+or-square root of 5?

stiv31 [10]

We will proceed to solve each case to determine the solution of the problem.

<u>case a)</u> $x^{2}+2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=-3$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case a) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case b)</u> $x^{2}-2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=-3$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case b) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case c)</u> $x^{2}+2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=5$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case c) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case d)</u> $x^{2}-2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=5$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case d) is the solution of the problem

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$x^{2}-2x-4=0$
