Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Using an exponential function, it is found that:
- For Country A, the doubling time is of 43 years.
- For Country B, the growth rate is of 1.9% per year.
<h3>What is the exponential function for population growth?</h3>
The exponential function for population growth is given as follows:

In which:
- P(t) is the population after t years.
- P(0) is the initial population.
- k is the exponential growth rate, as a decimal.
For Country A, we have that k = 0.016. The doubling time is t for which P(t) = 2P(0), hence:






t = 43 years.
For Country B, P(36) = 2P(0), hence we have to solve for k to find the growth rate.






k = 0.019.
For Country B, the growth rate is of 1.9% per year.

There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.
It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.
Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle
base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)
Plug in the numbers
x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5
The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm
