Answer:

The population will be 39400 in approximately 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase in population after t years is given by the formula

P_t = P_0(1+r)^t

Here

P_0 is the initial population

r is the growth rate and t is time in years

So far we know,

P_0 = 20000

r = 4%

P_t = 39400

Putting the values in the formula

39400 = 20000(1+0.04)^t\\39400 =20000(1.04)^t\\\frac{39400}{20000} = (1.04)^t\\1.97 = (1.04)^t

Taking natural log on both sides

ln |(1.04)^t| = ln |1.97|\\t\ ln\ |1.04| = ln\ |1.97|\\t = \frac{ln\ 1.97}{ln\ 1.04}\\t = 17.287\\t \approx 17

Hence,

The population will be 39400 in approximately 17 years

All vectors are in Rn. Check the true statements below:
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A), B) and D) are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can prove it as follows:

Proy_{cv}y=\frac{(y\cdot cv)}{||cv||^2}cv=\frac{c(y\cdot v)}{c^2||v||^2}cv=\frac{(y\cdot v)}{||v||^2}v=Proy_{v}y

B) When you compute the product Ax, the i-th component is the matrix of the i-th column of A with x, denote this by Ai x. Then, we have that ||Ax||=\sqrt{(A_1 x)^2+\cdots (A_n x)^2}. Now, the colums of A are orthonormal so we have that (Ai x)^2=x_i^2. Then ||Ax||=\sqrt{(x_1)^2+\cdots (x_n)^2}=||x||.

C) Consider S=\{(0,2),(2,0)\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2. This set is orthogonal because (0,2)\cdot(2,0)=0(2)+2(0)=0, but S is not orthonormal because the norm of (0,2) is 2≠1.

D) Let A be an orthogonal matrix in \mathbb{R}^n. Then the columns of A form an orthonormal set. We have that A^{-1}=A^t. To see this, note than the component b_{ij} of the product A^t A is the dot product of the i-th row of A^t and the jth row of A. But the i-th row of A^t is equal to the i-th column of A. If i≠j, this product is equal to 0 (orthogonality) and if i=j this product is equal to 1 (the columns are unit vectors), then A^t A=I    

E) Consider S={e_1,0}. S is orthogonal but is not linearly independent, because 0∈S.

In fact, every orthogonal set in R^n without zero vectors is linearly independent. Take a orthogonal set \{u_1,u_2\cdots u_p\} and suppose that there are coefficients a_i such that a_1u_1+a_2u_2\cdots a_nu_n=0. For any i, take the dot product with u_i in both sides of the equation. All product are zero except u_i·u_i=||u_i||. Then a_i||u_i||=0 then a_i=0.

Can somebody help me simplify these problems please?
Mazyrski [523]
1: answer: 4^6 ( reduce the fraction with 4^3)

2: answer: 1 ( any nonzero expression raised to the power of 0 equals 1 )

3: answer 3^8
steps: (3^2)^4 = 3^2×4 ( to raise a power to another Power multiply the exponents)
3^2×4 = 3^8 ( multiply the 2 and the 4 exponent to get a 8 as a exponent )
