Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the model for this particular situation, knowing that this is an exponential decay problem. The main equation for exponential growth/decay (as far as population goes for our problem) is

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial population, b is the rate of decrease in the population which can also be written as (1 - r), y is the population after a certain amount of time, x, goes by. We will let year 2015 = 0 so year 2021 can = 6. This keeps our numbers lower and doesn't change the answer!

Our initial population in the year x = 0 is 62500. Our rate of decay is

(1 - .016) so our b value is .984

Filling in to find our model:

y=62500(.984)^x

Now we can use that model and sub in a 6 for x to find the population in the year 2021:

y=62500(.984)^6 and

y = 62500(.9077590568) so

y = 56734.9 or, rounded to the nearest person, 56735

Suppose j varies jointly with g and v, and j=1 when g=4 and v=5. what is j when g=10 and v=9?
Tems11 [23]
J\alpha gv
j=agv where a is a constant of proportionality.
j=1 when g=4 and v=5
1=a*4*5
1=20a
a=1/20
a= 0.05
j=0.05gv
When g=10 and v=9,
j=0.05*10*9
j=0.5*9
j=4.5
