There are five significant figures in 12.001
Answer:
k = -9.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the triangle is right-angled at Q, by Pythagoras:
PR^2 = PQ^2 + RQ^2
So, substituting the given data and using the distance formula between 2 points:
(7 - 1)^2 + (k - 4)^2 = (-4-4)^2 + (-3-1)^2 + (7 - (-3))^2 + (k - (-4))^2
36 + (k - 4)^2 = 64 + 16 + 100 + ( k + 4)^2
(k - 4)^2 - (k + 4)^2 = 180 - 36
k^2 - 8k + 16 - (k^2 + 8k + 16) = 144
-16k = 144
k = -9.
Ok I will let you know tomorrow afternoon when I get to the school
The answer is 138 million.
Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.
We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time
Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:

Logarithm both sides of the equation:

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17

Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014
Well first you would subtract 9 from both sides to isolate your variable
so it would look like
1/4y =-81/2
now you divide 1/4 from both sides
so you're left with
y = -34
