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

Solve each equation by graphing the related function. If th equation has no real number solution, write no solution. X^2 + 7 = 0
Brrunno [24]
Answer:
The equation x² + 7 = 0 has no solution

Explanation:
1- using graph:
To solve the equation means graphically means to find the x-intercepts.
The attached image shows the graph of the given function.
We can note that there are no x-intercepts. This means that the given function has no real solutions

2- using algebra:
To solve the equation algebraically means to find the values of x that would make the equation equal to zero.
Solving the given equation, we would find that:
x² + 7 = 0
x² = -7
x = <span>± </span>√-7
The square root of a negative number will always give imaginary values. This means that the equation has no real solutions

Hope this helps :)
