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

What is the area of an equalateral triangle of side length x?
OLEGan [10]
First you need to make a line that is perpendicular to one side. The diagram is shown below. then the length of the line that is perpendicular to the triangle is
\frac{ \sqrt{3}x }{2}
then the area of the equilateral triangle equals to
\frac{1}{2} height  \times base
so the area would be
\frac{ \sqrt{3} {x}^{2}  }{4}

Answer:

<em>Daniel does have enough money to make this car payment</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Addition and Subtraction</u>

Daniel has an initial balance of $460.63 on this checking account.

He must pay $85.23 for groceries.

The new balance is $460.63 - $85.23 = $375.40

He then pays $81.34 for his cell phone bill. The balance is now $375.40 - $81.34 = $294.06.

He receives a shopping refund of $52.13 that adds up to this balance that now is: $294.06 + $52.13 = $346.19.

Daniel has to make his $264 car payment. The balance is $346.19, thus:

Daniel does have enough money to make this car payment
