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.

Can somone help me withhhhh thisssss pleaseee

It is A. 2^12.
The question asks for the value of 8 to the x-power. Divided by 2 to the y-power. the trick to solving this is to rewrite 8^x as 2^3x. so you will have 2^3x divided by 2^y. since the bases are now the same , you can subtract the exponents to get the result of 2^3x-y. since it is given the 3x-y is 12. your final answer is 2^12

How do you right a number in its prime factorization?
Whitepunk [10]
Please use "write" here, not "right." "write" is "right" here, if you get my drift.
"right" is wrong in this context.    ;)

Example:  Most of us would see immediately that 5 is a prime factor of 50.

Write 50 as 5 * 10.

10 is not prime; it can be factored into 5 and 2.

Thus, 50 written as the product of its prime factors is 5 * 5 * 2  (answer)

Polygon ABCD has the following vertices: A(−3, 3), B(5, 5), C(5, −4), and D(−3, −4) Calculate the area of the polygon.
aniked [119]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. When you plot the given points, you obtain a trapezoid, therefore, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid, which is:

A=\frac{(B+b)h}{2}

Where B is the larger base, b is the smaller base and h is the height.

2. The dimensions are:

B=9units\\ b=7units\\ h=8units

3. Substitute values:

\\A=\frac{(9 units+7units)(8units)}{2}  A=64 units^{2}

The answer is: 64 units^{2}
