Answer:
Option D. 17%
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

This is a exponential function of the form

where
a is the initial value
b is the base
In this problem
a=250,000 people
b=1.17
Remember that
b=1+r
so
1+r=1.17
r=1.17-1=0.17
Convert to percentage
0.17*100=17%
Answer:
x = -4, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute for y
2x - 5(x + 2) = 2
distribute -5
2x -5x - 10 = 2
solve
-3x - 10 = 2
add 10 on both sides
-3x = 12
divide by -3
x = -4
now substitute for x in the equation y = x + 2
y = -4 + 2
y = -2
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 0 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation

1)

Expand
2) x² + x + x² - x - 2x + 2 = -1(x - 2)(x + 1)
Simplify
3) 2x² -2x + 2 = -1(x² + x - 2x - 2)
4) 2x² - 2x + 2 = -x² + x + 2
Equal to zero
5) 2x² - 2x + 2 + x² - x - 2 = 0
6) 3x² - 3x = 0
Factor
7) 3x(x - 1) = 0
8) 3x₁ = 0 x₂ - 1 = 0
9) x₁ = 0/3 x₂ = 1
10) x₁ = 0 x₂ = 1
