{Answer:

3893 residents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for population growth:

The equation for the size of a population, considering that it doubles every n years, is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(3)^{(\frac{t}{n})}

In which A(0) is the initial population.

The current population of a small town is 2463 people. It is believed that town's population is tripling every 12 years.

This means that A(0) = 2463, n = 12. So

A(t) = A(0)(3)^{(\frac{t}{n})}

A(t) = 2463(3)^{(\frac{t}{12})}

Approximate the population of the town 5 years from now.

This is A(5). So

A(t) = 2463(3)^{(\frac{t}{12})}

A(5) = 2463(3)^{(\frac{5}{12})} = 3892.8

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 3893 residents.

The ordered pair (x,5) is a solution to the function f(x) = x^2 + 1
torisob [31]

Answer:

x = ± 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 1 and (x, 5 ) is a solution then f(x) = 5

Equating the two gives

x² + 1 = 5 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x² = 4 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{4} = ± 2

Thus (- 2, 5) and (2, 5) are solutions
