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

According to statistics, a person will devote 34 years to sleeping and watching TV. The number of years sleeping will exceed the
Nata [24]

Let the number of years of watching TV be

x

.

The number of years sleeping exceeds the number of years watching TV by

18

. This means that the number of years sleeping is higher than the number of years watching TV by

18

and can be represented by

(x+18).

The total time is 34

years. So we can form the following equation and solve for the required values:

x+(x+18)=34

x+x+18=34

2x=34-18

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

Thus, the number of years watching is 8

and the number of years sleeping is

8+18=26

.

Write an equation to represent function A
maw [93]

Answer:

y = 312x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to y = mx + b, m stands for slope and b stands for y-intercept. Let us find the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept, the x should be zero in (x, y).

(x, y)

(0, 2) ---> y-intercept (b)

Now that we have found the y-intercept, we will now find the slope by using its formula.

Slope formula:-

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Pick two random (x, y). I will pick the first and last pairs.

(0, 2) and (4, 1250)

Now plug these two pairs in the formula.

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 1250 - 2 / 4 - 0

m = 1248 / 4

m = 312

This means that the slope (m) is 312. Now put that in y = mx + b form.

y = mx + b

y = 312x + 2

Both of the forms are the same. Hope this helps, thank you :) !!
