The correct format of the question is

At the end of 2006, the population of Riverside was 400 people. The population for this small town can be modeled by the equation below, where t represents the number of years since the end of 2006 and P represents the number of people. P = 400 ( 1.2 )^ t Based on this model, approximately what was the increase in the population of Riverside at the end of 2009 compared to the end of 2006?

(A) 291

(B) 691

(C) 1040

(D) 1440

Answer:

The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation as P = 400 ( 1.2 )^ t

where

P = No of People

t= No of Years

it is given that in the year 2006 the population is 400

this will only happen when we take t= 0

so for

Year    value of t

2006-    t = 0

2007-    t  = 1

2008-    t = 2

2009     t = 3

No of people in 2009 will be

P = 400(1.2)^3

     = 400*1.728

   P  = 691.2

Since the equation represents no of people so it can't be in decimals, Therefore the population will be 691

Increase = P(2009) - P(2006)

               = 691 - 400

                = 291

The increase in the population at the end of 2009 is 291 people.

What is greater than 40 but less than 20
Paladinen [302]
I've already been complemented twice on my previous answer, but then I discovered that I mis-read the question.  My entire original answer was wrong, and I have to delete it.

I don't believe that any number can satisfy both of those conditions.
I'll say the question has no answer.

It's impossible because the figure is greater than 10

Step-by-step explanation:

{ \boxed{ \bf{antilog \: of \: x =  \frac{x}{ log} =  {10}^{x}  }}}

Therefore:

{ \sf{anti(547.840) =  {10}^{547.840} }} \\ { \tt{ \red{math \: error \: !}}}

A school replaced 20% of it computers with new ones . what the total number of computers in the school if 55 computers were repl
sladkih [1.3K]
The total is 275 because 100% divided by 20% is 5 and if 20%= 55 then that means that 55 goes into 100% 5 times so you multiply 55 by 5 to get 275. Hope I helped! Please rate me as the brainliest!
