Answer:

6000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the fish population in a local lake increases at a rate proportional to the population each moment, this can be expressed as;

P = k/t (the scenario is an inverse proportionality because as the time is reducing, the population is increasing by the same factor)

If there are 1000 fish 5 years ago and there are 2000 fish 4 years ago

Yearly percentage increase will be;

2000-1000/1000 × 100%

1000/1000×100%

= 100%

This means that the population increases by 100% on a yearly basis (by a factor of 1000)

The population 3 years ago will be population

P = 2000+1000

P = 3000

The population 2 years ago will be population

P = 3000+1000

P = 4000

The population 1 year ago will be population

P = 4000+1000

P = 5000

The population now will be population

P = 5000+1000

P = 6000 populations

one tank is filling at a rate of 3/4 per gallon per 2/3 minute .a second tank is at a 5/8 gallon per 1 half gallon per 1/2 minut
Bingel [31]
recall\ that\implies \cfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{{{ d}}}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{{{ d}}}{c}\qquad thus&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;&#10;\cfrac{\frac{3g}{4}}{\frac{2m}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3g}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}&#10;\\-------------\\&#10;\cfrac{\frac{5g}{8}}{\frac{1m}{2}}\implies \cfrac{5g}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{1m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}

so... you tells us, which filling rate is the bigger and thus faster one?

C(t) = $2t + $8

This tells us that the basic cost of the pizza is $8, with no toppings, and that each topping costs an additional $2.

To graph this, plot a dot at (0,$8).  Now move y our pencil point 1 unit to the right and then 2 units up.  Plot a dot at this new location.  Now draw a straight line connection (0, $8) and this new location (which is   (1, $10)  ).
