The current population of a town is 10,000 and its growth in years can be represented by P(t) = 10,000(0.2)^t, where t is the ti

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

1) 20%

2) Choice a.

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(t)=10000(0.2)^t$

1) $P(0)$ is the population initially.

$P(1)$ is the population after a year.

$\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}$ represents the population increase factor.

So let's evaluate that fraction:

$\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}$

$\frac{10000(0.2)^1}{10000(0.2)^0}$

$\frac{0.2^1}{0.2^0}=\frac{0.2}{1}=0.2$

0.2=20%

2) Let's figure out the population growth in terms of months instead of years.

$P(t)=10000(0.2)^{t}$

We want t to represent months.

A full year is 12 months, in a full year we have that $P(1)=10000(0.2)^1=10000(0.2)=2000$

So we want a new P such that $P(12)=2000$ since 12 months equals a year.

Let's look at the functions given to see which gives us this:

a) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12}=2000 \text{approximately}$

b) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12(12)}=0 \text{ approximately}$

c) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{\frac{1}{12}}=9889 \text{approximately}$

d) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12+12}=400 \text{approximately}$

So a is the function we want.

Also another way to look at this:

$P(t)=10000(.2)^t$ where $t$ is in years.

$P(t)=10000(.2^\frac{1}{12})^t$ where $t$ is in months.

And $.2^\frac{1}{12}=0.874485 \text{approximately}$

$Rewrite the expression 6j^2 - 4j + 12$ in the form $c(j + p)^2 + q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$$

The ratio of $\frac{q}{p}$ = - 34

How to solve such questions?

Such Questions can be easily solved just by some Algebraic manipulations and simplifications. We just try to make our expression in the form which question asks us. This is the best method to solve such questions as it will definitely lead us to correct answers. One such method is completing the square method.

Completing the square is a method that is used for converting a quadratic expression of the form $ax^{2} + bx + c$ to the vertex form

$a(x - h)^{2} + k$ . The most common application of completing the square is in solving a quadratic equation. This can be done by rearranging the expression obtained after completing the square: $a(x + m)^{2} + n$ , such that the left side is a perfect square trinomial
