Answer: 12,503 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential decrease so to find the population in 8 years you have to use a future value formula:

= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 15,000 ( 1 + (-2.25%)) ⁸

= 15,000 * (1 - 2.25%)⁸

= 12,503.32

= 12,503 people

The displacement (in meters) of a particle moving in a straight line is given by the equation of motion
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

  • -2/a³ m/s
  • -2 m/s
  • -1/4 m/s
  • -2/27 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity is the derivative of position:

  v = ds/dt = (d/dt)(t^-2) = -2t^-3

For t=a, the velocity is

  -2a^-3 = -2/a³ . . . . meters per second

For t=1, the velocity is ...

  -2·1³ = -2 . . . . meters per second

For t=2, the velocity is ...

  -2·2^-3 = -2/8 = -1/4 . . . . meters per second

For t=3, the velocity is ...

  -2·3^-3 = -2/27 . . . . meters per second

15.3+x=1.3-x so how do I solve it
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try getting rid of the numbers to isolate the x.

Add x on both sides to get rid of the x on the right side and to get 2x on the left side. This leaves us with 15.3 + 2x = 1.3

Subtract 15.3 on both sides to get rid of the 15.3 on the left side.

This would leave us with 2x = -14

Divide 2 on both sides to isolate the x.

The answer is x = -7

The volume of a rectangular prism is represented by the function x3 + 11x2 + 20x – 32. The width of the box is x – 1 while the h
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

we know that

the volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

V=L*W*H

where

L is the length of the box

W is the width of the box

H is is the height of the box

in this problem we have

V=x^{3\ }+11x^2+20x-32

W=x-1

H=x+8

L=?

<u>Find the length of the box</u>

Using a graph tool-------> we will determine the roots of the equation of volume

see the attached figure

the roots are

x=-8\\x=-4\\ x=1

so

x^{3\ }+11x^2+20x-32=(x+8)*(x+4)*(x-1)

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of the box is equal to (x+4)
