Answer:
The population will be 240,116
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth can be represented by the expression:
where:
is the population at time (t)
is the initial value of the population
"r" is the annual rate of growth (written in decimal form)
and "t" is the time in years.
Therefore in this situation, P(16) is what we want to find [the population after 16 years]
the initial population is 110,000
the rate of growth is 0.05 [decimal form of 5%]
and t is 16 years.
Replacing all these in the given functional form gives:
Answer:
18) a. h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144
b. The maximum height = 400 feet
c. Attached graph
19) The rocket will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds
20) The rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets study the rule of motion for an object with constant acceleration
# The distance S = ut ± 1/2 at², where u is the initial velocity, t is the time
and a is the acceleration of gravity
# The vertical distances h in x second is h(x) - h(0), where h(0)
is the initial height of the object above the ground
∵ h(x) = vx + 1/2 ax², where h is the vrtical distance, v is the initial
velocity, a is the acceleration of gravity (32 feet/second²) and x
is the time
18)a.
∵ The value of a = -32 ft/sec² ⇒ negative because the direction
of the motion
is upward
∴ h(x) - h(0) = vx - (1/2)(32)(x²) ⇒ (1/2)(32) = 16
∴ h(x) = vx - 16x² + h(0)
∴ h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ proved
* Find the height of the object after x seconds from the ground
∵ h(0) = 144 and v = 128 ft/sec
∴ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144
b.
* At the maximum height h'(x) = 0
∵ h'(x) = -32x + 128
∴ -32x + 128 = 0 ⇒ subtract 128 from both sides
∴ -32x = -128 ⇒ ÷ -32
∴ x = 4 seconds
- The time for the maximum height = 4 seconds
- Substitute this value of x in the equation of h(x)
∴ The maximum height = -16(4)² + 128(4) + 144 = 400 feet
c. Attached graph
19)
- The object will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds
20)
- When the rocket hits the ground h(x) = 0
∵ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144
∴ 0 = -16x² + 128x + 144 ⇒ divide the two sides by -16
∴ x² - 8x - 9 = 0 ⇒ use the factorization to find the value of x
∵ x² - 8x - 9 = 0
∴ (x - 9)( x + 1) = 0
∴ x - 9 = 0 OR x + 1 = 0
∴ x = 9 OR x = -1
- We will rejected -1 because there is no -ve value for the time
* The time for the object to hit the ground is 9 seconds
