Answer:

They'll reach the same population in approximately 113.24 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both population grows at an exponential rate, then their population over the years can be found as:

\text{population}(t) = \text{population}(0)*(1 + \frac{r}{100})^t

For the city of Anvil:

\text{population anvil}(t) = 21000*(1.04)^t

For the city of Brinker:

\text{population brinker}(t) = 7000*(1.05)^t

We need to find the value of "t" that satisfies:

\text{population brinker}(t) = \text{population anvil}(t)\\21000*(1.04)^t = 7000*(1.05)^t\\ln[21000*(1.04)^t] = ln[7000*(1.05)^t]\\ln(21000) + t*ln(1.04) = ln(7000) + t*ln(1.05)\\9.952 + t*0.039 = 8.8536 + t*0.0487\\t*0.0487 - t*0.039 = 9.952 - 8.8536\\t*0.0097 = 1.0984\\t = \frac{1.0984}{0.0097}\\t = 113.24

They'll reach the same population in approximately 113.24 years.

(HURRY) Janet is mixing a 15% glucose solution with a 35% glucose solution. This mixture produces 35 liters of a 19% glucose sol
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

c. 28 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tha tJanet is mixing a 15% glucose solution with a 35% glucose solution. This mixture produces 35 liters of a 19% glucose solution. Now we need to find about how many liters of the 15% solution is Januet using in the mixture.

Let the number of liters of the 15% solution is Januet using in the mixture = x

Let the number of liters of the 35% solution is Januet using in the mixture = y

Then we get equations:

x+y=35...(i)

and

(15% of x) + (35% of y) = 19% of 35.

or

0.15x+0.35y=0.19(35)

15x+35y=19(35)

3x+7y=19(7)

3x+7y=133 ...(ii)

solve (i) for x

x+y=35

x=35-y...(iii)

Plug (iii) into (ii)

3x+7y=133

3(35-y)+7y=133

105-3y+7y=133

105+4y=133

4y=133-105

4y=28

y=28/4

y=7

plug y=7 into (iii)

x=35-y=35-7=28

Hence final answer is c. 28 liters

Find the slope intercept equation for the graph below pLz!!!
Komok [63]

Answer:

y=4/3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept

We can see that the y-intercept is (0,-1)

The slope is (3-(-1))/(3-0)=4/3
