270m, Since .5 is a third of the women’s height the 90m of the Eiffel Tower you multiply by 3 to get the original height

Convert 5.100 × 10-3 to ordinary notation.<br> a.0.0005100<br> b.0.005100<br> c.510.0<br> d.5100

kondor19780726 [428]

5.100 x 10⁻³ = 5.100 x 0.001
= 0.005100 (shift the decimal point for 5 by 3 units left)

Alternatively, because 10⁻³ = 1/1000, therefore
5.100 x 10⁻³ = 5.1/1000

0.0051
---------------
1000 | 5.100
5000
-------------
1000
1000

This yields the same result.

Answer: b. 0.005100

Answer:

B: billie's solution is incorrect since she didnt

subtract 36 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

on the second step, she added 36 on the right.

This is incorrect because when changing one

side on an equation you must change the side

in the same way.

The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population present at time t. The initial population of 500 increas

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The population in 40 years will be 1220.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population present at time t.

This means that:

$P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}$

In which P(t) is the population after t years, P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

The initial population of 500 increases by 25% in 10 years.

This means that $P(0) = 500, P(10) = 1.25*500 = 625$

We apply this to the equation and find t.

$P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}$

$625 = 500e^{10r}$

$e^{10r} = \frac{625}{500}$

$e^{10r} = 1.25$

Applying ln to both sides

$\ln{e^{10r}} = \ln{1.25}$

$10r = \ln{1.25}$

$r = \frac{\ln{1.25}}{10}$

$r = 0.0223$

So

$P(t) = 500e^{0.0223t}$

What will be the population in 40 years

This is P(40).

$P(t) = 500e^{0.0223t}$

$P(40) = 500e^{0.0223*40} = 1220$

The population in 40 years will be 1220.
