Answer:

r=0.0718. The closest value from your given choices is C)r=0.69

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we are using the standard exponential growth equation:

f(t)=A(1+r)^t

where

f(t) is the final population after t years

A is the initial population

r is the growth rate in decimal form

t is the time in years

We know from our problem that the initial population is 5000, the final population is 10000, and the time is 10 years, so A=5000, f(t)=10000, and t=10.

Let's replace the values and solve for r:

f(t)=A(1+r)^t

10000=5000(1+r)^{10}

Divide both sides by 5000

\frac{10000}{5000} =(1+r)^{10}

2=(1+r)^{10}

Take root of 10 to both sides

\sqrt[10]{2} =\sqrt[10]{(1+r)^{10}}

\sqrt[10]{2} =1+r

Subtract 1 from both sides

\sqrt[10]{2}-1=r

r=\sqrt[10]{2}-1

r=1.0718-1

r=0.0718

We can conclude that the growth rate of our exponential equation is r=0.0718. The closest value from your given choices is C)r=0.69

Marvin has a vintage comic book worth $351. According to a dealer, the value of this particular comic book will increase by 12.1
White raven [17]
Y = 12.1% x 13 + 351
y= 0.012 x 13 + 351
y= 1.573 + 351
y= 352.573 or $352.6

How do you factor 5x^2b^2 + 14xb^2 -3b^2
Monica [59]

Answer:

5b^2(x-0.2)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing that I noticed was that all of the terms had a common factor of b^2. You can therefore factor that out first:

5x^2b^2 + 14xb^2 -3b^2= \\\\b^2(5x^2+14x-3)

Now, you have a quadratic equation inside the parentheses. Factoring, you find that the roots are -0.2 and 3, meaning that you can further factor this expression to be:

5b^2(x-0.2)(x+3)

Hope this helps!
