The correct format of the question is
At the end of 2006, the population of Riverside was 400 people. The population for this small town can be modeled by the equation below, where t represents the number of years since the end of 2006 and P represents the number of people. Based on this model, approximately what was the increase in the population of Riverside at the end of 2009 compared to the end of 2006?
(A) 291
(B) 691
(C) 1040
(D) 1440
Answer:
The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation as
where
P = No of People
t= No of Years
it is given that in the year 2006 the population is 400
this will only happen when we take t= 0
so for
Year value of t
2006- t = 0
2007- t = 1
2008- t = 2
2009 t = 3
No of people in 2009 will be
= 400*1.728
P = 691.2
Since the equation represents no of people so it can't be in decimals, Therefore the population will be 691
Increase = P(2009) - P(2006)
= 691 - 400
= 291
The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people.
Answer:
y = 4x + -9
Step-by-step explanation:
The y intercept which is -9, is the point in which the graph crosses the x-axis
In order to find the slope we need to identify two clear points on the graph.
- (0, -9)
- ( 1, -5)
Now that we have our two points we need to find the distance between them.
As you can see on the attachment the distance between the two points is 4 units up and 1 unit to the right, therefore the slope is 4/1 = 4.
Final Answer: y = 4x + -9
