-1/3(px-2) = 9
ok! so first we want to isolate x.
multiply both sides by -3/1 (this is the reciprocal of -1/3)
(px-2) = -27
px = -27 + 2
px = -25
x = -25/p
hope this helped!
Answer:
The slope is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
Disclaimer: Just for this response, I'm going to write it the same way you write a fraction out on paper just so it's easier to see.
First, you plot the two coordinates on the graph:
(0,0) and (2,1)
The formula for slope is 
Now we plug in numbers accordingly:

Simplify:

Let me know if you have any questions
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) dP/dt = kP (1 − P/L)
L is the carrying capacity (20 billion = 20,000 million).
Since P₀ is small compared to L, we can approximate the initial rate as:
(dP/dt)₀ ≈ kP₀
Using the maximum birth rate and death rate, the initial growth rate is 40 mil/year − 20 mil/year = 20 mil/year.
20 = k (6,100)
k = 1/305
dP/dt = 1/305 P (1 − (P/20,000))
(b) P(t) = 20,000 / (1 + Ce^(-t/305))
6,100 = 20,000 / (1 + C)
C = 2.279
P(t) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-t/305))
P(10) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-10/305))
P(10) = 6240 million
P(10) = 6.24 billion
This is less than the actual population of 6.9 billion.
(c) P(100) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-100/305))
P(100) = 7570 million = 7.57 billion
P(600) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-600/305))
P(600) = 15170 million = 15.17 billion
Sure, I have this strategy to make a sheet with questions of that chapter and do that before I study the chapter so I can see if I know a little or a lot of that chapter
