Y is the independent variables
k is the dependent variable
It opens down if the lead coefficient is negative
And it shifts to the left by two. Always use the opposite of what is in parenthesis, which in this case is 2.
Given parameters:
Current population = 530,300 people
Growth rate = 0.8% per year
Unknown
Population in 15 more years = ?
To solve this problem, we must compound the increase per year.
This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.
Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,
it is similar to 1 +
= 1.008 increase
Now the population in 15years will be;
530300 x (1.008)¹⁵ = 597626 people
So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people
First you have to find the missing y
Answer:
$35.50
Step-by-step explanation:
55.50-48= 7.5
2008-2005 = 3
7.5 divided by 3 = 2.5 per year
2005-2000 = 5 multipled by 2.5 = 12.5
48-12.5=35.5
