1/2x-16 is an equation that can be used to represent this. The 1/2x represents the one half of a number and the -16 represents the decreased by 16.
Answer:
31877 people with live in the town in 2016 if the population increases at a rate of 6% every 2 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula used will be
A(t) = P(1+r)^t
A(t) = Future value
P = population
r = rate
t = time
P= 20,000
r =6% or 0.06
t = 16
Since population is increased every 2 years, so t = 16/2 = 8
Putting value:
A(16) = 20,000(1+0.06)^8
A(16)= 20,000(1.06)^8
A(16) = 31876.9 ≈ 31877
So, 31877 people with live in the town in 2016 if the population increases at a rate of 6% every 2 years
I think A and B are the correct answers
The equation of the given Absolute Value Function is; y = |-2x + 4|
<h3>How to interpret Linear Graphs?</h3>
We can see that the given graph is a Linear graph but since it is V-shaped, we can say that it is a graph of an absolute value function.
Now, from the graph we see that;
At x = 0, y = 4
At x = 1, y = 2
At x = 2, y = 0
At x = 3, y = -2
At x = 4, y = 0
At x = 5, y = 2
We can see that the y-intercept is at y = 4.
Slope between two consecutive points is;
(2 - 4)/(1 - 0) = -2
Equation is; y = -2x + 4
Now, this is an absolute value function and as such we will write it as;
y = |-2x + 4|
