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

To three decimal places, find the average value of f(x) = 2x2 + 3 on the interval [0, 2].

salantis [7]

The formula for the average value of a function is $\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx$ where b is the upper bound and a is the lower. For us, this formula will be filled in accordingly. $\frac{1}{2} \int\limits^2_0 {(2x^2+3)} \, dx$ . We will integrate that now: $\frac{1}{2}[ \frac{2x^3}{3}+3x]$ from 0 to 2. Filling in our upper and lower bounds we have $\frac{1}{2}[( \frac{2(2^3)}{3}+3(2))-0]$ which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}( \frac{16}{3}+6)$ and $\frac{1}{2}( \frac{16}{3}+ \frac{18}{3})= \frac{1}{2}( \frac{34}{3})$ which is 17/3 or 5.667

QUESTION 33

The length of the legs of the right triangle are given as,

6 centimeters and 8 centimeters.

The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagoras Theorem.

${h}^{2} = {6}^{2} + {8}^{2}$

${h}^{2} = 36+ 64$

${h}^{2} = 100$

$h = \sqrt{100}$

$h = 10cm$

Answer: C

QUESTION 34

The triangle has a hypotenuse of length, 55 inches and a leg of 33 inches.

The length of the other leg can be found using the Pythagoras Theorem,

${l}^{2} + {33}^{2} = {55}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = {55}^{2} - {33}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = 1936$

$l = \sqrt{1936}$

$l = 44cm$

Answer:B

QUESTION 35.

We want to find the distance between,

(2,-1) and (-1,3).

Recall the distance formula,

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute the values to get,

$d=\sqrt{( - 1-2)^2+(3- - 1)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{( - 3)^2+(4)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{9+16}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$d = 5$

Answer: 5 units.

QUESTION 36

We want to find the distance between,

(2,2) and (-3,-3).

We use the distance formula again,

$d=\sqrt{( - 3-2)^2+( - 3- 2)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{( - 5)^2+( - 5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{25+25}$

$d=\sqrt{50}$

$d=5\sqrt{2}$
