Answer: The population in 2025 will be 7669

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When we have an initial quantity A, and we have an increase of the X%, the new quantity is written as:

new quantity = A + A*(X%/100%) = A*(1 + X%/100%)

In this case, our initial quantity is 3500, the town's population in 2005.

And X% = 4%.

We know that each year, the population increases by 4%.

Then if P(1) is the population one year after 2005, this is:

P(1) = 3500*(1 + 4%/100%) = 3500*(1.04)

After another year, the population increases again:

P(2) = (3500*(1.04))*(1 + 4%/100%)) = 3500*(1.04)*(1.04) = 3500*(1.04)^2

Well, we already can see the pattern here, the population N years after 2005 will be:

P(N) = 3500*(1.04)^N

b) Now we want to know the population in 2025.

N represents the number of years after 2005, then we will have:

N = 2025 - 2005 = 20

2025 is 20 years after 2005.

Then the population in 2025 will be:

P(20) = 3500*(1.04)^20 = 7,668.9

And we can not have a 0.9 of a person, so we should round it up to the next whole number, then the population in 2025 will be 7669

Which of the following infinite series has a finite sum? Explain your reasoning.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

d. 20+10+5+2.5+...

Step-by-step explanation:

No geometric series with a common ratio of magnitude greater than 1 will have a finite sum. Nor will any arithmetic series.

Those descriptions exclude answer choices a, b, c. Choice d is a geometric series with a common ratio of 1/2, so will have a finite sum. (It is 40.)

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations?
iren2701 [21]

(- 2, - 3) is a solution to the given system of equations.

Answer: Option D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equation are not presented in proper format. So, let assume the given system of are as below,

         2 x - y = -1

         2 x -4 y = 8

Now, subtract the second equation from the first, we get

          (2 x - y) -(2 x - 4 y) = -1 -8

          3 y = -9  

           y = -3 (obtained this when divide by 3)

Substituting y = - 3 into the first equation, we get

          2 x - (-3) = - 1

          2 x = - 1 + 3

          x = - 2 (obtained when divide by 2)

Now, the answer is (x, y) = (- 2, - 3)

Answer:

perimeter=25.12 ft

Area=50.24 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius=4 feet

π=3.14

Perimeter=2 x π x Radius

Perimeter=2 x 3.14 x 4

Perimeter=25.12 feet

Area=π x radius x radius

Area=3.14 x 4 x 4

Area=50.24 ft^2
