Answer:
7.43
Step-by-step explanation:
8x²-8x+2-5+x = 8x² - 7x - 3
Thus, g = 7 and h = 3
<h3>Answer: 1981</h3>
===================================
Work Shown:
Recall that P is in thousands, so P = 95 means 95,000.
Plug in P(x) = 95. Solve for x. Use logarithms to get this done.
P(x)=230(0.881)^x
95=230(0.881)^x
95/230 = (0.881)^x
0.41304347826087 = (0.881)^x
(0.881)^x = 0.41304347826087
Log( (0.881)^x )= Log( 0.41304347826087 )
x*Log( 0.881 )= Log( 0.41304347826087 )
x= Log( 0.41304347826087 )/Log( 0.881 )
x= 6.97883817154785
x= 7
Approximately 7 years after 1974 is when the population will be around 95,000.
7 years after 1974 = 1974+7 = 1981
