Answer:

The population in 2015 will be 165 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth formula is given by:

f(t) = a(1 + r)^{\Delta t}

Where:

a: is the initial population

r: is the rate of increase

Δt: is the time        

With the initial information we can find the rate:

151 = 145(1 + r)^{1998-1990}      

Using logarithm:                                    

ln(151) = ln(145) + 8[ln(1 + r)]  

ln(1 + r) = \frac{ln(151) - ln(145)}{8}                        

ln(1 + r) = 5.0683 \cdot 10^{-3}          

Using exponential:          

e^{ln(1 + r)} = e^{5.0683 \cdot 10^{-3}}

r = 5.081 \cdot 10^{-3}        

Now, we can find the estimated population in 2015:

f(t) = 151(1 + 5.081 \cdot 10^{-3})^{2015-1998}              

f(t) = 165              

Therefore, the population in 2015 will be 165 million.

I hope it helps you!

Express 3.01 as a mixed number
Len [333]
The three would be the whole number while 01 would be the fraction. And since the 1 is 2 places from the decimal it would mean that it is going to be out of 100. Therefore the answer is 3 1/100

A bucket that weighs 4lband a rope of negligible weight are used todraw water from a well that is 80ftdeep. The bucket is filled
liq [111]

Answer:

Workdone = 3200 lb.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the bucket is filled with 40 lb of water but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.2lb/s

Thus,

Weight of water at any given time (t) would be;

w(t) = 40 - 0.2t - - - - (1)

We are told the bucket is pulled up at a rate of 2ft/s.

Thus, height at time (t); y = 0 + 2t = 2t

Since y = 2t,

Then,t = y/2

Put y/2 for t in eq 1

Thus; w(y) = 40 - 0.2(y/2)

w(y) = 40 - 0.1y

Now, at y = 80 ft, we have;

w(80) = 40 - 0.1(80)

w(80) = 40 - 8 = 32 lb

Since 32 lbs are left, it means there is always water in the bucket.

Thus, work done is;

W = 80,0[∫(Total weight).dy]

W = 80,0[∫[(weight of rope) + (weight of bucket) + (weight of water)]dy]

W = 80,0[∫[0 + 4 + 40 - 0.1y]dy]

Integrating, we have;

W = [44y - y²/20] at boundary of 80 and 0

So,

W = [44(80) - 80²/20] - [0 - 0²/20]

W = 3200 lb.ft

Please help!!! I have a chance to get $50 if I get all of these questions right!!
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

number 1 is c      number 2 is b,c,e  number 3 is b

Step-by-step explanation:

1: if you see something to the power you will always think of repeated multiplication off the bat. so you just multiply the coefficient by the amount of the exponent.

2: 1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1=1 no

2*2*2*2=16 yes

4*4=16 yes

8*8=64 no

16=16 yes

3: 3/4*3/4*3/4=27/64

hope this helps! have a nice day!
