Answer:

The population at the beginning of 2016 is 55,326.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Population 2010 (PV)= 42,000

Growth rate (g)= 4.7% = 0.047

Number of years (n)= 6 years

<u>To calculate the population at the beginning of 2016, we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= PV*(1+g)^n

FV= 42,000*(1.047^6)

FV= 55,326

The population at the beginning of 2016 is 55,326.

A boat takes 4 hours to go 20 miles upstream.It can go 32 miles downstream in same time.Find the rate of the current and the rat
Mandarinka [93]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, if the boat has a speed of say "b", and the current has a speed of say "c", when the boat is going upstream, is not really going "b" fast, is going " b - c " fast, because the current is eroding speed from it, going upwards.

And when the boat is going downstream, is not going "b" fast either, because the current is now adding to speed to it, so is really going " b + c " fast.

The time it took one way, is the same time it took back, 4 hours each way.

thus

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{t}\\&#10;&------&------&------\\&#10;Upstream&20&b-c&4\\&#10;Downstream&32&b+c&4&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;20=4(b-c)\implies \frac{20}{4}=b-c\implies 5+c=\boxed{b}\\&#10;32=4(b+c)\implies \frac{32}{4}=b+c\implies 8=b+c\\&#10;--------------------\\&#10;8=\left(\boxed{5+c}  \right)+c&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;8=5+2c\implies 3=2c\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=c\implies 1\frac{1}{2}=c

what's the speed of the boat?  well, 5 + c = b.
