Question:

Suppose that the populations of the United States and China both increase by 12 million people in one year. What would be the relative change for each country? Answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (1 decimal place). Make sure that you fill in each answer area before checking "How Did I Do?".

If you assume that the U.S. population is about 300 million, an increase of 12 million would result in a relative change of Number %.

If you assume that China has about 1 billion people, an increase of 12 million would result in a relative change of Number %.

Answer:

The relative change of the United States and China is 4% and 1.2%, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent population with p. So, we have:

United States

\triangle p = 12\ million

p_1 =300\ million

China

\triangle p = 12\ million

p_1 =1\ billion

Required

Determine the relative change for each country

Relative change, C is calculated as:

C = \frac{\triangle p}{p} * 100\%

For United States

C = \frac{12\ million}{300\ million} * 100\%

C = \frac{12}{300} * 100\%

C = \frac{12 * 100}{300}\%

C = \frac{1200}{300}\%

C = 4\%

For China

C = \frac{12\ million}{1\ billion} * 100\%

C = \frac{12}{1000} * 100\%

C = \frac{12* 100}{1000} \%

C = \frac{1200}{1000} \%

C = 1.2\%

The relative change of the United States and China is 4% and 1.2%, respectively.

Answer:

  see the attachments below

Step-by-step explanation:

When the calculations are repetitive using the same formula, it is convenient to put the formula into a spreadsheet and let it do the calculations.

That is what was done for the spreadsheet below. The formula used is the one given in the problem statement.

__

For doubling time, the formula used is the one shown in the formula bar in the attachment. (For problem 11, the quarterly value was used instead of the monthly value.) It makes use of the growth factor for the period used for the rest of the problem.

The doubling time is in years.

__

The doubling time can also be found using a graphing calculator. In the second attachment, we have written a function that shows the multiplier for a given interest rate r and compounding n. The x-intercept in each case is the solution for t that makes the multiplier be 2. The steeper curve is associated with the higher interest rate.

If f(x) is shifted 4 units to the left and 6 units up, what is the equAation of the resulting graphs
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

f= (x-4, y+6) or f= (x-4),(y+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

* when you move to the left you are subtracting from x because eventually you'll get to the negatives, if you were going to the right you would add

* going up from y, you would be adding since the further up you go the higher positive number you'll get, if you were going down it would be subtracting from y

10. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the
Ghella [55]

Answer:

y = -3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

b is the intercept

Get the slope

Given the equation of a line 9x + 3y = 6

Rewrite

3y = -9x + 6

y = -9x/3 + 6/3

y = -3x + 2

Hence the slope of the line is -3

Get the y-intercept

Substitute m = -3 and (5,3) into y  = mx+b

3 = -3(5) + b

3 = -15 + b

3 + 15 = b

18 = b

b = 18

Get the required equation

y = mx+b

y = -3x + 18

This gives the required equation
