a) The linear function that models the population in t years after 2004 is: P(t) = -200t + 29600.
b) Using the function, the estimate for the population in 2020 is of 26,400.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The initial population in 2004, of 29600, is the y-intercept. In 12 years, the population decayed 2400, hence the slope is:
m = -2400/12 = -200.
Hence the equation is:
P(t) = -200t + 29600.
2020 is 16 years after 2004, hence the estimate is:
P(16) = -200(16) + 29600 = 26,400.

#SPJ1
2km=2 kilometer
kilo=1000 so 2 km=2000m
25m
2500cm
cm=centimeter=1/100 of a meter
so
2500cm=25m
mm=milimeter=1/1000 meter
so
3000mm=3m
so the longets is obviously 2000m or 2km
Answer:
the answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1st= 47/7 or 6.71
2nd= 48/7 or 6.857
Step-by-step explanation:
1st number =X and 2nd number = Y
According to question, X+7=2Y
20+Y=4X
X=2Y-7 (from 1st condition)
putting in it second
20+Y=4(2Y-7)
20+Y=8Y-28
20+28=8Y-Y
48=7Y
Y=48/7
so X=2(48/7)-7
=96-49/7
47/7
