A village was founded four hundred years ago by a group of 20 people. In this village, the population triples every one hundred
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat this like compound interest:  Use A = P(1 + r)^t.

Here, P is the initial population and A is 3 times that, or 3P.  Since P = 20 people, 3P = 60 people,

and this population is reached after 100 years.

We need to determine r, substitute its value into the formula A = P(1 + r)^t, and then determine the population of the village after 400 years.

60 = 20(1 + r)^100

Simplifying, 3 = (1 + r)^100.

Taking the natural log of both sides,

ln 3 = 100 ln (1 + r), or

                   ln 3

ln (1 + r) = ---------------

                    100

              = 1.0986 / 100 = 0.01986

We must solve this for r.  Raising e to the power ln (1 + r), on the left side of an equation, and raising e to the power 0. 01986 on the right side, we get:

1 + r = 3, so r must = 2.

Now find the pop of the village today.  Use the same equation:  A = P (1+r)^t.

A = 20(1 +2)^4 (hundreds),

or

A = 20(3)^4, or

A = 81

The population after 400 years is 81.

PLZ HELP!! Algebra is not my thing, 30 points!!<br><br> 5x + 2 = 3x + 4(2x - 1)
ira [324]

Answer:

5x + 2 = 3x + 4(2x - 1) \\ 5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4 \\ 3x + 8x - 5x = 2 + 4 \\ 6x = 6 \\  \boxed{x = 1}
