Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Part A ;

Part B ;

So, let's first focus on the first year:
the population then would be: 23000* (100+2)%
100% is the old population the 2% is the incease, so in total it's 102%, or 1.02 - the same number written differently.
So it will be 23000*1.02
After two years it will be 23000*1.02*1.02, and so on
so after x years it will be:
y=23000*
What the symbol column should look like
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
QY = 5x
YZ = 18
QZ = 53
Thus:
QY + YZ = QZ (segment addition postulate)
5x + 18 = 53
5x = 53 - 18 (subtraction property of equality)
5x = 35
Divide both sides by 5
x = 7
We have ( 8 + 4 )/ 2 = 12/2 = 6;
(-2 - 6 ) / 2 = -8 / 2 = -4;
The midpoint is (6,-4);
