Answer:

a = -2 or a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want f(a) = a^2 + 7a + 12 = 2. We can subtract 2 from both sides of this equation to get a^2+7a+10=0. We can factor this to get that (a+2)(a+5)=0. When the product of two numbers is equal to zero, one of the numbers must be equal to zero. This means that either a + 2 = 0, in which case a = -2, or a + 5 = 0, in which case a = -5.

You already have figured the main idea. In this case, the population is growing 1.9% a year. This word can be translated into: multiplied by 101.9% (100+1.9%). That means the P0 is 6 bill, the base is 101.9%(or 1.019) and the time is 50 years. The calculation would be:
<span>P(t)=P₀a^t
</span>P(t)=6 billion * 101.9%^50= 6 billion * <span>2.56276= 15.38 billion</span><span>
