Answer: y = 32,000(1.08)^c
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the initial population
P = 32000
t = 1 year
R = 8%
Y = 34,560
To predict y the number of people living in town after x years
t = x
Y = P(1 + 8%)^t
Y = 32000( 1.08)^x
The slope (m) = -13.
We can use the slope formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let (x1, y1) = (7, 26)
(x2, y2) = (12, -39)
Plug in the values into the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-39 - 26) / (12 - 7)
m = -65/5
m = -13
4x^2+16x+14=0
I just transfered the given equation to the other side..that must be in a standard form where ax^2+bx+c=0
