Answer:

2538

2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The population equayio since year 2000 can be modeled mathematically as :

P = 2538(1.025)^t

This is an exponential growth function which is represented by the general formula :

y = a(b)^t

Where, a is the initial population ;

b = growth factor ; b = (1 + r) where r = growth rate

Comparing the equations, the population in year 2000 represents the initial population, a = 2538

The percentage Rate of increase in population is :

(1 + r) = 1.025

r = 1.025 - 1

r = 0.025 ; 0.025 * 100% = 2.5%

Use synthetic division to solve (x3 + 1) ÷ (x – 1). What is the quotient?
mamaluj [8]
Steps:

Use the divisor and find x :
x - 1 = 0  **add 1
x= 1
Now we will use the 1 in dividing:

take the coefficients from in front of all terms
   ** make sure you include 0's for x^2 and x since you have to have all terms

set it up with a 1 in a box:

1|  1   0   0  1   **bring the first number down
____________
     1                    **multiply the boxed number by the first number and add it                                 to the second number

1|  1   0   0  1   
____+1_____       **repeat with the rest of the terms
     1   1   

1|  1   0    0    1
  ___+1_+1_+1   
     1   1    1    2                              
**when you're done, use the new numbers to write an equation starting with a term with a degree one less than the previous equation.
**since there is a remainder, rewrite it divided by the original divisor

final answer:
x^2 + x + 1 + (2/ x -1)

Suppose 12% of the students chose to study French their freshman year, and that meant that there were 21 such students. How many
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

154 students

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the total number of students .

This can be gotten by

12% of A = 21

Where A represents the total number of students.

12% represents the % of A that chose to study French and 21 is the number of students that studied French .

Therefore,

12% /100% x A = 21

0.12 x A = 21

Divide both sides by 0.12

0.12/0.12 x A = 21/0.12

A = 175

The total number of students is 175.

If 21 chose to study French their freshman year ,number of students that chose not to will be total number of students minus number of those who chose to study French.

That’s

175 - 21

= 154

154 students chose not to study French their freshman year
