Answer: 484
===============================================
Work Shown:
First let's compute f(2). We replace every x with 2 and then use PEMDAS to simplify
f(x) = -x^4 + 5x - 4x^2
f(2) = -(2)^4 + 5(2) - 4(2)^2
f(2) = -16 + 5(2) - 4(4)
f(2) = -16 + 10 - 16
f(2) = -6 - 16
f(2) = -22
Then we square this result to find the value of ![[ f(2) ]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%20f%282%29%20%5D%5E2)
![f(2) = -22\\\\\left[ f(2) \right]^2 = [ -22 ]^2\\\\\left[ f(2) \right]^2 = 484](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%282%29%20%3D%20-22%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%20f%282%29%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%3D%20%5B%20-22%20%5D%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%20f%282%29%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%3D%20484)
The country population would be 827 million in about 20 years.
This can be found by replacing "t" with 20 and solving. The solution would be about 8273.28 million. Thus meaning in about 20 years, the population would be 827 million.
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
you have similar triangles here
so 2 is to 4 as 4 is to x
2/4 = 4/x
x = 8
