Answer:

70/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a population of 200 people

Growth rate = 2%

How long it will take for the population to double

Double the population = 2× 200 = 400

The formula for Exponential growth =

y = a(1 + r)^t

y = Value at time t = 400

a = Initial value = 200

r = 2% = 0.02

t = ?

Hence:

400 = 200 ( 1 + 0.02)^t

Divide both sides by 200

400/200 = 200 ( 1 + 0.02)^t/200

2 = (1.02)^t

Take logarithm of both sides

log 2 = log(1.02)^t

log 2 = t log 1.02

t = log 2/log 1.02

t = 35.003417942

Approximately t = 35

We have so many formula to calculate doubling time

t = 70/Growth rate

From the above question

Growth rate = 70/2%

= 35

Therefore, the equation that we use to calculate how long it will take for the population to double to 400 people is 70/2

Answer:

Year 2004

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of a country in year 1995 = 286

Model that expresses the growth rate of the population is,

P(t) = 286(1.009)^{t-1995}

Here, t = year

a). For P = 311 million people

   311 = 286(1.009)^{t-1995}

   \text{log}(\frac{311}{286})=\text{log}(1.009)^{t-1995}

   log(311) - log(286) = (t - 1995)log(1.009)

   2.4928 - 2.4564 = (t - 1995)(0.00389)

   \frac{0.03639}{0.00389}=t-1995

   t = 1995 + 9.4

   t = 2004

In year 2004 population of the country will be 311.

Describe the faces, edges, verticals of each three dimensional figure. Then identify it.
EastWind [94]

When you have to describe a 3D shape you have to keep the following definitions in mind:

<em>1. The face of a 3D shape is a flat surface.</em>

The shape on the picture has 3 rectangular faces and 2 triangular faces, a total of 5 faces.

<em />

<em>2. The edge is where two faces meet.</em>

For the shape on the picture, there are 3 edges, where the rectangular faces meet each other, and then three edges where the rectangular faces meet each of the triangular faces, this shape has a total of 9 edges.

<em>3. The vertex is a corner, where the edges meet.</em>

There are three vertices on each end of the shape, so it has a total of 6 vertices.

A shape that has 5 faces, 9 edges, and 6 vertices is a triangular prism.
