Here are the steps.

In order to get the answer, first we need to get the x and y value of the center of the circle by using the equation of a circle (x^2 + y^2 = r^2)

<span>The center is (-9, -4)</span>

Once you get the center point, find the equation of the line (in a form of a radius) from the center point to point (2, -1). Get the slope.

The slope from center to point (2, -1) is 11/3

Finally, get the negative reciprocal of the slope from the previous step and form the equation using slope-intercept form ( y=mx + b). Then, that's the equation of the tangent line.

The slope of the tangent line is -3/11
The equation is y = -3/11x - 5/11

The exponential model A = 661.7 e^0.011t describes the population, A, of a country in millions, t years after 2003. Use the mode
faust18 [17]

Answer:

661.7 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exponential model :

A = 661.7 e^0.011t

The general form of an Exponential model is expresses as :

A = A0 * e^rt

Where A = final value ; A0 = Initial value ; r = growth rate and t = time elapsed

From the question t = time after 2003

Therefore, A0 = initial population, which is the population in 2003

Therefore, A0 = 661.7

Or we could put t = 0 in the equation and solve for A

A = 661.7 e^0.011(0)

A = 661.7 * 1

A = 661.7

Hence, population in 2003 is 661.7 million
