Answer:

P(t) = P(0)e^{0.0693t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t.

This means that the population growth is modeled by the following differential equation:

\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = rP(t)

Which has the following solution:

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

In which P(t) is the population after t years, P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The population has doubled in 10 years

This means that P(10) = 2P(0). We use this to find r.

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

2P(0) = P(0)e^{10r}

e^{10r} = 2

\ln{e^{10r}} = \ln{2}

10r = \ln{2}

r = \frac{\ln{2}}{10}

r = 0.0693

So the equation that will estimate the population of the community in t years is:

P(t) = P(0)e^{0.0693t}

In a survey 9/25 students ride the bus and 19/50 walk to school. What fraction of students ride the bus or walk?
san4es73 [151]
Well since 19/50 can't be simplified you have to double 9/25 which is 18/50 so then add 18 + 19 = 37 So 18/50 + 19/50 = 37/50 so 37/50 of the students ride the bus or walk to school.
