This is an exponential function and can be expressed as:

f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio or "rate", t=time common ratio is applied or "time".

In this case: i=35000, r=(100-3.5)/100=0.965, so the exponential decay function is:

f=35000(0.965)^t

You can graph this with any graphing calculator or even if you type in most browser bars "y=35000(0.965^x)"

But mathematically:

15000>35000(0.965)^t  divide both sides by 35000

3/7>0.965^t  take the natural log of both sides

ln(3/7)>t ln(0.965)  dividing both sides by ln(0.965), and remembering to reverse inequality sign because of division/multiplication by a negative value

t>ln(3/7)/ln(0.965)

t>23.78

So the population will drop below 15000 during the 23rd year.

What is the value of 6X to the 3rd power when X is 5
Nat2105 [25]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

27000

Discussion:

( 6x) ^ 3 =

(6*6*6) * (x*x*x) =

216       * x^3

When x =5  this equals

216 * 5^3 =

216 * 125 =

27000



Thank you,

The area of a circular table is 22511 in2.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1. Radius = 84.65 in

2. Circumference = 531.65 in

3. Diameter = 169.3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

1] In order to find the area of a circle, we use the formula

Area of a circle = πr²

Where r is the radius. So substitute the value of the area of the circle in the formula, to find the radius r.

22511 = π r²

r² = 22511 ÷ π

r = \sqrt{22511 / \pi }

<u>r = 84.65 in</u>

2] Now that we found the radius, we can easily find the circumference using the formula:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Substitute the value of r in the formula.

Circumference = 2 × π × 84.65

<u>Circumference = 531.87 in</u>

3] The diameter is twice the radius, so:

diameter = r × 2

diameter = 84.65 × 2

<u>diameter = 169.3 in</u>
