Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to first find the model for this particular situation, knowing that this is an exponential decay problem. The main equation for exponential growth/decay (as far as population goes for our problem) is
where a is the initial population, b is the rate of decrease in the population which can also be written as (1 - r), y is the population after a certain amount of time, x, goes by. We will let year 2015 = 0 so year 2021 can = 6. This keeps our numbers lower and doesn't change the answer!
Our initial population in the year x = 0 is 62500. Our rate of decay is
(1 - .016) so our b value is .984
Filling in to find our model:
Now we can use that model and sub in a 6 for x to find the population in the year 2021:
and
y = 62500(.9077590568) so
y = 56734.9 or, rounded to the nearest person, 56735
"At least" refers to greater than or equal to (≥).
This is because "at least" means:
- it can't be less than
- it can be equal to
- it can be greater than
This is basically like saying no less than.
If you must have at least 10 oranges for some recipe, then you must have 10 oranges, but you can also have more.
"Twice the difference of a number and 8"
This means that 2 times a number minus 8.
This can be written as 2(w - 8), since w is unknown and it's the difference between w and 8.
The 2 is being multiplied by this because it's 2 times this difference.
"At least 26"
This means ≥ 26.
Now for the actual inequality.
"Twice the difference of a number and 8"
translates to 2(w - 8)
"is at least 26"
translates to ≥ 26
Now put them together.
2(w - 8) ≥ 26
So the answer is 2(w - 8) ≥ 26.
Hope this helps! :)
