That is false because you have to subtract the exponents not divide
-x+y=3
y=x+3
2x + x + 3 =6
3x + 3 = 6
3x = 3
x = 1
-1 + y = 3
y = 4
2(1) + y = 6
2 + y = 6
y = 4
Solution: (1, 4)
Answer:
1. a) population of the town in 2024 = 8697
2.) the earthquake with a magnitude of 8 is a <u>100 times stronger</u> than an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) the population of a town was,
in 2016.
a) Exponential growth model is given by
where t is the time in years after 2016.
Year 2016 is when t = 0.
k = growth rate constant = 1.6% = 0.016
i) therefore the population of the town in 2024
=
( to the nearest whole number)
2.) log (I
M
S) = magnitude of earthquake where I is the Intensity of the earthquake and S is the intensity of a standard earthquake
therefore I
M
S = 
therefore 
Linear because y= 1 - x makes a straight line
