Answer:

a) The exponential growth function

P(t) = 5,690,000(1.0287)^t

b) 6,742,868.7374 million

c) 12.04 years

d) 2439.0243902

Step-by-step explanation:

In​ 2012, the population of a city was 5.69 million. The exponential growth rate was 2.87​% per year. ​

The formula for exponential growth is given as:

P(t) = Po( 1 + r) ^t

Where P = Population size after time t

Po = Initial population size

r = Growth rate in percentage

t= time in years

a) Find the exponential growth function.

P(t) = Population size after time t

Po = Initial population size = 5.69 million

r = Growth rate in percentage = 2.87% = 0.0287

t= time in years

The Exponential growth function

P(t) = 5,690,000(1 + 0.0287)^t

P(t) = 5,690,000(1.0287)^t

​b) Estimate the population of the city in 2018. ​

From 2012 to 2018 = 6 years

t = 6 years

Hence,

P(t) = Po( 1 + r) ^t

P(t) = 5,690,000(1 + 0.0287)^6

P(t) = 5,690,000(1.0287)^6

P(t) = 6,742,868.7374 million

c) When will the population of the city be ​8 million?

P(t) = 8,000,000

P(t) = Po( 1 + r) ^t

P(t) = 5,690,000(1 + 0.0287)^t

8,000,000 = 5,690,000(1 + 0.0287)^t

8,000,000 = 5,690,000(1.0287)^t

Divide both sides by 5,690,000

8,000,00/5,690,000 = 5,690,000(1.0287)^t/5,690,000

= 1.4059753954 = 1.0287^t

Take logarithm of both sides

log 1.4059753954 = log 1.0287^t

Log 1.4059753954 =t Log 1.0287

t = Log 1.4059753954/Log 1.0287

t = 12.041740264

t = 12.04 years

​d) Find the doubling time.

The formula is given as 70/Growth rate

= 70/0.0287

= 2439.0243902

A restaurant customer left ​$1.30 as a tip. The tax was 7% and the tip was 10​% of the after tax cost. Which information is not
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Tip left = $1.30

Tax = 7%

Tip = 10% of after tax cost

The tax percentage is not needed in calculating the bill after tax and tip

Hence,

Let after tax cost = x

10% of x = 1.30

0.1x = 1.30

x = $13

After tax cost = $13

Hence, the Total bill after tax = $13

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1) 250 meters= 0.25 km

2) 12 meters=  0.012km

3) 1 meter= 0.001 km

The constant of proportionality is 1000 meters in 1km (1000 meters)

I think there’s a mistake on the second part because 1 meter does not equal to 1000km. but I did part 1 for you!
