Answer: The population would be 6580 after 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 5000

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

t = 7 years

Therefore

y = 5000(1 + 0.04)^7

y = 5000(1.04)^7

y = 6580

Simplify (1 − cos x)(1 + cos x). (2 points)
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

sin²x

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

(1 − cos x)(1 + cos x)=1-cos²x

Remember that

sin²x+cos²x=1 ------> i-cos²x=sin²x

therefore

(1 − cos x)(1 + cos x)=sin²x

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (3,1) and a directrix of y = 5
serg [7]
So hmmm  check the picture below

so... the vertex is "p" distance from the focus and the directrix, thus, the vertex is really half-way between both

in this case, 2 units up from the focus or 2 units down from the directrix, and thus it lands at 3,3

now, the "p" distance is 2, however, the directrix is up, the focus point is below it, the parabola opens towards the focus point, thus, the parabola is opening downwards, and the squared variable is the "x"

because the parabola opens downwards, "p" is negative, and thus, -2

now, let's plug all those fellows in then

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})\\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\begin{cases}
h=3\\
k=3\\
p=-2
\end{cases}\implies (x-3)^2=4(-2)(y-3)\implies (x-3)^2=-8(y-3)
\\\\\\
-\cfrac{(x-3)^2}{8}=y-3\implies \boxed{-\cfrac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3=y}

Natalie is in the business of manufacturing phones. She pays a cost of $50 per
Trava [24]

Answer:

  C = 50p +900

Step-by-step explanation:

Table: (phones, cost) = (0, 900), (1, 950), (2, 1000).

Equation: C = 900 +50p

__

The fixed cost (900) is the "y-intercept" of the equation in slope-intercept form. The cost per phone (50) is the "rate of change" or slope.
