Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 3400

r = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

t = 17 years

Therefore

y = 3400(1 + 0.05)^17

y = 3400(1.05)^17

y = 3400 × 2.2920183178

y = 7800 to the nearest thousand

Answer:

In 17 years time, the initial population of 3400, and growing at a rate of 5% will be ≈ 7792

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have that the formula for population presented as follows;

A = P(1+r)^t

Where:

A = Population after growth

P = Original population = 3400

r = 5% = 0.05

t = Time = 17 years

Population growing at a rate of 5% is thus given by the plugging in the above values into the population growth formula thus;

A = 3400 \times (1+0.05)^{17} = 7792.86

Since we are presenting data relating to number of people, we round alwys down as the statistics should represent the number of whole people on ground.

Therefore, in 17 years time, the initial population of 3400, and growing at a rate of 5% will be ≈ 7792.

The price has changed from 125$ to 75$. By how much percent did it change
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

-40 %

Step-by-step explanation:

((y2 - y1) / y1)*100 = your percentage change

(where y1=start value and y2=end value)

((75 - 125) / 125) * 100 = -40 %

The percentage change from 125 to 75 is -40 %

A toy rocket was shot into the air. The graph below represents the height over the time of the rocket. Which of the following ar
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A  rocket was fired into the air.

The rocket reached a maximum height of 59 feet at point (3.5,59) as shown in the figure.

And it took the rocket 3.5 seconds to reach its maximum height.

and the rocket landed after 6.9 seconds, So option 'D' is false which states  The rocket landed after 34 seconds.

The equation that represents the rocket’s height over time has two solutions is completely false as it has only one solutions.

Hence, Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.
