-5 ≤ 1 - 2x < 9
Let's first break this down into two different inequalities.
1 - 2x ≥ -5
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-2x ≥ -6
Divide both sides by -2
x ≤ 3
Now, let's do the second inequality.
1 - 2x < 9
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-2x < 8
Divide both sides by -2
x > 4
let's combine each inequality to get our reduced compound inequality.
-4 < x ≤ 3
To plot this, put a hollow point at -4. A hollow point looks something like the letter o.
And put the second point at 3. This time, fill in the point so it looks whole.
Now, connect your points.
It should look something like this:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

where
y is the population
x is the time in years since year 2015
a is the initial value
r is the rate of change
we have

substitute


In the year 2040 the value of x is equal to

substitute

6 is a factor and 36 is neither and 48 is a multiple
