Answer:

t=7.85 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write this rate as an ordinary differential equation.

\frac{dP}{dt}=aP

Where a is proportional constant, P the population variable, and t the time.

\frac{dP}{P}=adt

Integrating each side of the equation.

\int \frac{dP}{P}=\int adt

ln(P)=at+c

P=e^{at+c}

P=e^{c}e^{at}=Ce^{at}

To find C we need to use the initial condiction, it means evaluae P at t=0.

P_{0}=Ce^{0}=C

P=P_{0}e^{at}

Now, we use the sentence  the population has doubled in 5 years.

2P_{0}=P_{0}e^{a5}

We can find "a" in this condition.

2=e^{a5}

ln(2)=a5

a=\frac{ln(2)}{5}

a=0.14

Finally, let's find how long will it take to triple.

3P_{0}=P_{0}e^{0.14t}

3=e^{0.14t}

t=\frac{ln(3)}{0.14}

t=7.85 years

I hope it helps you!

Maria has a cell phone and she gets charged for data each month. She is
aliina [53]
If it costs $12.5 for every GB and we use 8 then 12.5*8=$100. So if our flat rate now is $70 we would loose 100-70=$30

So Maria would loose $30 a month if she pays per GB

A bag contains 3 red marbles 4 blue marbles and 7 Green marbles if two marbles are drawn out of the bag what is the probability
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

0.368

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles= 3

Number of blue marbles= 4

Number of green marbles= 7

Total number of marbles= 3+4+7= 14

Let the first ball is taken out to be red

P(R)=\frac{3}{14}

than again a second ball is drawn, number of balls left= 14-1=13

Number of red= 2

P(R)=\frac{2}{13}

Total probability=\frac{3}{14}+\frac{2}{13}

Total probability= 0.368

Hence, the correct answer is 0.368

10 times as much as blank hundred is 70 hundreds or blank thousands
netineya [11]

Answer:

10 times as much as 7 hundred is 70 hundreds or 7 thousands.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is:

10 times as much as _____ hundreds is 70 hundreds or _____ thousands.

Dividing the question into two fractions, we have:

10 times what is 70 hundreds?

What is 70 hundreds in thousands?

10 x 7 hundred = 10 x 700 = 70 hundreds

Recall that 70 hundreds = 70 00

70 hundreds = 70 00 = 7 thousands = 7 000

Therefore, the question can be written as:

10 times as much as 7 hundreds is 70 hundreds or 7 thousands.
