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 sum of two numbers is 18. The quotient of the two numbers is 17. What are the two numbers?
posledela
Let the two numbers be x and y
x + y = 18 . . . . . . . . (1)
x/y = 17 . . . . . . . . (2)
from (2): x = 17y
substituting for x in (1), gives
17y + y = 18
18y = 18
y = 18/18 = 1
x = 17y = 17(1) = 17

Therefore the two numbers are: 1 and 17

The difference between 4,632 and 20,000 is what number?
ycow [4]
We find the difference of the two numbers by subtracting the two numbers given above. It is calculated as follows:

Difference = 20000 - 4632 = 15368

Therefore, the difference between <span>4,632 and 20,000 is 15368.

At the end of 8 years, Anna paid $400 interest for a loan. If the simple annual interest rate was 4%, how much did Anna borrow?
antiseptic1488 [7]

$1250

Use the formula i = prt

In this case, we don't know P or Principal amount

i = 400

r = .04 *found by diving 4/100*

n = 8

Set formula to solve for P like: P= i/r(n)

P=400/.04(8)

P= 400/.32

P = 1250
