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}

This is function notation and I have no idea how to do it. I need answers.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

So you are given the function, f(x) = 3x - 4. You will plug in the value given and solve and write the answer down in the box.

f(x) = 3x - 4 ---> f(5), f(2), f(1), f(10), and f(-1) value given

f(5) = <u>3(5)</u> - 4

f(5) = <u>15 - 4</u>

f(5) = 11

f(2) = <u>3(2)</u> - 4

f(2) = <u>6 - 4</u>

f(2) = 2

f(1) = <u>3(1)</u> - 4

f(1) = <u>3 - 4</u>

f(1) = -1

f(10) = <u>3(10)</u> - 4

f(10) = <u>30 - 4</u>

f(10) = 26

f(-1) = <u>3(-1)</u> - 4

f(-1) = <u>-3 - 4</u>

f(-1) = -7
