The number is -3 because -3 minus 16 equals -19.
C) 5x^2-3x+9 is the answer
The '40 years' is not part of the question. It's just there to prove that
'2% each year' has been the experience for the past 40 years, so it's
a good number to use for the rate of growth, past or future.
So, at any number of years 'Q' after the beginning of "this period",
the population was or will be
Pop = (220,000) (1.02)^Q power.
(This equation is familiar from all of the bank-interest problems
the student has done in past math classes.)
In 10 years after the beginning of "this period",
Pop = (220,000) (1.02)¹⁰ = <em>243,800 </em>(or any reasonably close number)
Answer:
53.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you change .135 into 135/1000 which can then simplify into 27/200.
