Answer:
x=-0.08 and y=2.92
Step-by-step explanation:
123x + 2(x+3) = -4 y = -0.08 + 3
123x + 2x + 6 = -4 = 2.92
125x + 6 = -4
125x = -10
x= -0.08
Answer:
53
Step-by-step explanation:
86 = 2x - 20
<u>+20 +20</u>
<u>106 </u>= <u>2x</u>
2 2
53 = x
Answer: x = 16, x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
|a| > 0, there are two solutions
|a| = 0, there is one solution
|a| < 0, there are no solutions
So, in this problem, we have two solutions.
In absolute value, the expression inside can be equal to itself OR its opposite.
Ex: |y| = y, |y| = -y
So, we can write two equations:
x - 12 = 4, x = 16
-x+12 = 4, x = 8
Check: |16 - 12| = |4| = 4
Check: |8 - 12| = |-4| = 4
I think the answer might me 34
Answers:
(a) the population function is exponential in the number of years (t) after 2017:

(b) Although the model is defined on a yearly basis, we can answer the question by calculating the projected population at the end of 2018 (t=1) and, under the assumption of same birth rate every month, take half of the yearly increase (end of June):
N(1) = 29890.50
June population: 
(c) N(1) = 29891 (see (b) above)
(d) Population in 2025 is the function value at t=2025-2017=8
