The population of Collin County, which follows the exponential growth model, increased from 491,675 in 2000 to 782,341 in 2010.

Find the exponential growth rate, k.

Answer:

p=ak^t

p1=491272*k^0

p2=782341*k^10

782341/491272 = k^10

k=1.047629

growth rate is 4.7629%

2012: predicted population is 491272*1.047629^12=858,642 people

1245863=491272*1.047629^t

1.047629^k=2.5363599

ln both sides is k ln 1.0476=ln 2.5363

t=20.000 years.

Rule of 72 would say 72/4.76 or 15.12 years for doubling

14.90 years

2017 predicted is 491272*1.0476^17 or 1083552, or more than actual, so the rate of growth is slowing down.

Llana [10]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (2-0)/(4 - -4)

= (2-0)/( 4+4)

= ( 2/8)

= 1/4

12What mistake did the student make when solvingtheir two-step equation?(a)b) If correctly solved what should the value of be?

mixas84 [53]

Given the equation:

$\frac{x}{6}+3=-18$

(a) You can identify that the student applied the Subtraction Property of Equality by subtraction 3 from both sides of the equation:

$\frac{x}{6}+3-(3)=-18-(3)$

However, the student made a mistake when adding the numbers on the right side.

Since you have two numbers with the same sign on the right side of the equation, you must add them, not subtract them and use the same sign in the result. Then, the steps to add them are:

- Add their Absolute values (their values without the negative sign).

- Write the sum with the negative sign.

Then:

$\frac{x}{6}=-21$

(b) The correct procedure is:

1. Apply the Subtraction Property of Equality by subtracting 3 from both sides (as you did in the previous part):

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{6}+3-(3)=-18-(3) \\ \\ \frac{x}{6}=-21 \end{gathered}$

2. Apply the Multiplication Property of Equality by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6:

$\begin{gathered} (6)(\frac{x}{6})=(-21)(6) \\ \\ x=-126 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answers are:

(a) The student made a mistake by adding the numbers -18 and -3:

$-18-3=-15\text{ (False)}$

(b) The value of "x" should be:

$x=-126$

An open box with a square base is constructed so that it has a volume of 64in^3. The base needs to be made out of a material tha

Ivahew [28]

The volume of a box is the amount of space in the box

The dimensions that minimize the cost of the box is 4 in by 4 in by 4 in

<h3>How to determine the dimensions that minimize the cost</h3>

The dimensions of the box are:

Width = x

Depth = y

So, the volume (V) is:

$V = x^2y$

The volume is given as 64 cubic inches.

So, we have:

$x^2y = 64$

Make y the subject

$y = \frac{64}{x^2}$

The surface area of the box is calculated as:

$A =x^2 + 4xy$

The cost is:

$C = 2x^2 + 4xy$ --- the base is twice as expensive as the sides

Substitute $y = \frac{64}{x^2}$

$C = 2x^2 + 4x * \frac{64}{x^2}$

$C =2x^2 + \frac{256}{x}$

Differentiate

$C' =4x - \frac{256}{x^2}$

Set to 0

$4x - \frac{256}{x^2} = 0$

Multiply through by x^2

$4x^3 - 256= 0$

Divide through by 4

$x^3 - 64= 0$

Add 64 to both sides

$x^3 = 64$

Take the cube roots of both sides

$x = 4$

Recall that:

$y = \frac{64}{x^2}$

So, we have:

$y = \frac{64}{4^2}$

$y = 4$

Hence, the dimensions that minimize the cost of the box is 4 in by 4 in by 4 in
