The world's population was 5.51 billion on January 1, 1993 and 5.88 billion on January 1, 1998. Assume that at any time the popu

lation grows at a rate proportional to the population at that time. In what year should the world's population reach 7 billion? (Give a calendar year. For example: 2001)

Answer:

In 2011 the world's population will be 7 billions

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets choose January 1, 1993 as 0 time, so January 1, 1998 is time 5, because is 5 year after.

As the population grows at a ate proportional to the population at that time, we can determinate the linear relationship between the time and the world's population.

We have two point:

January 1, 1993 (x1=0) ⇒ world's population was 5.51 billion (y1= 5.51)

January 1, 1998 (x2=5) ⇒ world's population was 5.88 billion (y2= 5.88)

The linear relationship between this two variables can be represent by the equation:

y=a*x+b (linear function)

a ⇒ slope

b ⇒ intercept with y-axes

a=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{5.88-5.51}{5-0}=\frac{0.37}{5}=0.074

b=y-a*x

Using (x1,y1)

b=5.51-0.074*0=5.51

y=0.074*x+5.51

Now we can estimate how many years from 1991 the population will be 7 billion

y3=7

x3= ?

(y3-5.51)/0.074= x3

(7-5.51)/0.074=x3

20.135=x3

The result is not an exact value, but this decimal value will represent a few extra days after January 1, 2011 (20 years after January 1, 1991), but as the question as for a calendar year and not and exact day we will just work with the 20 years

We can say that in 2011 the world's population will be 7 billions

Malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps. He has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps. Let x represent th
Effectus [21]

Answer:

y = 89 x = 123

Step-by-step explanation:

since they're both in standard form, its easier to do the process of elimination

x - y = 34

-x -y -212

------------------

-2y = -178

y = 89

now plug in y to any one of those two equations

x - y = 34

x - 89 = 34

x = 123

<em>to check:</em>

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

<em>1</em><em>2</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>8</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

<em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

katrin [286]
<span>1. The current ratio (assets/liabilities) of company X is 3.1. Given that the current assets are $186000, find the current liabilities:

Assets = A
Liabilities = L

A / L = 3.1 => L = A / 3.1

A =  186000 => L = 18600 / 3.1 = 6000

Answer: $ 6000

2. The board of directors determines that the current ratio must never be below 2.6. What is the maximum amount that the company can borrow?


A/L ≥ 2.6

=> L ≤ A / 2.6

=> L ≤ 186000 / 2.6

L ≤ 71538.46

Answer: $71538.46
