Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to use the identity
because this identities right hand side matches your expression where
and
.
So we have that
is equal to
.
The answer is C) y=14(0.9)ˣ and it's an exponential function
PROOF
Give to x the respective values of x & calculate y, using y = 14(0.9)ˣ
x | y
---------|---------
0 | 14(0.9)⁰ = 14
1 | 14(0.9)¹ = 12.6
2 | 14(0.9)² = 11.34
3 | 14(0.9)³ = 10.206
4 | 14(09)⁴ = 9.1845
Answer:
7 years (This answer is to the nearest year)
Step-by-step explanation:
The way you could work this out is by trial and error. 11 % a year means that its population increases by 4400 annually. 40,000 X 1.11^1 gives you the amount it would be after one year (44000). I got the 1.11 because of the percentage (0.11) plus the amount you need to do percentage increase (1). Then all you do is keep on going up till you hit the number you need (80,000) after about 7 years the total would have hit 80,000 and would have actually went past it (83046)
I would say A I hope this helps
