Answer: it will triple in 69.1 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 6000

A = 3 × 6000 = 18000

r = 1.6% = 1.6/100 = 0.016

Therefore

18000 = 6000(1 + 0.016)^t

18000/6000 = (1.016)^t

3 = (1.016)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 3 = log1.016^t = tlog1.016

0.477 = 0.0069t

t = 0.477/0.0069

t = 69.1 years

If you like graphing this is for you :D​
Pavel [41]

Answer:

You are trying to find the x-value when the y-value is 2. On the graph, the x-value is -3 when the y-value is 2. So, the x-value when f(x)=2 is -3.

Which equation BEST matches the model? A) 7/9 x 6/8 = 36 B) 7/9 x 3/4 = 21/36 C) 4 x 9 = 36 D) None of the above
patriot [66]
Whats the model because 7/9 × 3/4= 7/12 which also equals to 21/36
as 7/12 is the simplified version of 21/36 but then for c 4×9 =36 so I'm a bit confused my self but here's a bit of a start

If quadrilateral RESP is is reflected across the line y = 2x +7 and again across the line y = -12x + 5, what will be the resulti
Musya8 [376]

The first reflection reverses the orientation and alters the direction of the vectors representing the sides of the quadrilateral. The second reflection does the same thing. The end result is that the orientation is unchanged by two reflections, and the direction of the sides of the quadrilateral is changed.

The appropriate choice is ...

... B. The resulting image will be a rotation of the pre-image.

_____

The center of rotation will be the point where the lines cross. (That is the invariant point.)

In the attachment, the green quadrilateral RESP is reflected across the line y=2x+7 (blue) to form the blue quadrilateral R'E'S'P'. That is then reflected across the line y = -12x +5 (orange) to give the orange quadrilateral R"E"S"P", which is a rotation of the pre-image.

The amount of rotation is double the angle between the lines, about 62.7°.
