Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time flown by the flying carpet be
. Then, we have that
.
We multiply both sides of the equation by
to get
.
We subtract
from both sides to get
.
We divide both sides of the equation by
.
We know that the speed of the flying carpet in still wind is the average of the rates of the speed of the flying carpet with the wind and against the wind.
The speed with wind is
mph.
The speed against wind is
mph.
The speed in still wind is
.
Therefore, the answer is
and we're done!
So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:

Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that

So,

For city B:

But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,

The answer in scientific notation is: 4.32 x 10^-2
