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

Solving equations:<br><br> (a) 5x - 9 = 3x + 3<br><br> (b) x + 6 = 34 - x
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

a) 5x - 9 = 3x + 3

5x - 3x = 3 + 9

2x = 12

x = 12 / 2

x = 6

b) x + 6 = 34 - x

x + x = 34 - 6

2x = 28

x = 28 / 2

x = 14

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

m/3 + 4 = 7

Subtract 4 from each side

m/3+4-4 = 7-4

m/3 = 3

Multiply each side by 3

m/3*3 = 3*3

m =9
