Answer:

Expected population in 2015: 19,152.58 or 19,000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the decreasing rate of 2.5% per year, and a population of 28,000 in the year 2000:

We can solve for the rate of decrease by using the formula:

$A = a(1 - r )^{t}$

where:

A = population by year 2015

a = initial population (in year 2000) = 28,000

r = rate of change (decrease by 2.5% annually or 0.025)

t = time (in number of years) = 15

Plug in these given values into the formula:

$A = a(1 - r )^{t}$

$A = 28,000(1 - 0.025 )^{15}$

$A = 28,000(0.975)^{15}$

A = 28,000(0.684)

A = 19,152.58 or about 19,000 people in 2015

A soccer ball was kicked in the air and follows the path h(x)=−2x2+1x+6, where x is the time in seconds and h is the height of t

madam [21]

The ball will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The path of the ball = h(x)=−2x2+1x+6

Here,

x is the time while h is the height of ball.

When the ball will hit the ground, the height will become zero. Therefore,

h(x)=−2x2+1x+6

0 =−2x2+1x+6

2x2 -1x - 6 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, hence by applying quadratic equation formula:

$x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

here,

a = 2

b = -1

c = -6

Putting these values in formula, we get

$x = \frac{-(-1) +- \sqrt{-1^{2} - 4.2.-6 } }{2.2}$

$x = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{1 + 48 } }{4}$

$x = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{49 } }{4}$

$x = \frac{1 +- 7 }{4}$

x = 2, -3/2

As the time cannot be negative. Therefore, the ball will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

In the local frisbee league, teams have 7 members and each of the 4 teams takes turns hosting tournaments. At each tournament, e

mars1129 [50]

There are 4 teams in total and each team has 7 members. One of the team will be the host team.

Tournament committee will be made from 3 members from the host team and 2 members from each of the three remaining teams. Selecting the members for tournament committee is a combinations problem. We have to select 3 members out 7 for host team and 2 members out of 7 from each of the remaining 3 teams.

So total number of possible 9 member tournament committees will be equal to:

$7C3 \times 7C2 \times 7C2 \times 7C2\\ \\ = 324135$

This is the case when a host team is fixed. Since any team can be the host team, there are 4 possible ways to select a host team. So the total number of possible 9 member tournament committee will be:

$9 \times 324135\\ \\ =2917215$
