Answer:

Sam is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

40/2=20-10=10

Since he is half the age of his aunt we can divide his aunts age(40) by 2(to get half her age). Then we have 20, but it says he is 10 years younger than half her age. So we subtact half Sam's aunts age(20) by 10, and end up with 10.

Hope this helps!!

In 2014, a town's population was 795 people. By 2020, the population had grown to 1262 people. a. Create an exponential equation

Zina [86]

Answer: $P=795(1.84)^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial population was $795$ people

By 2020, it becomes $1262$ people

Suppose the population follows the trend $P=P_oa^{n}$

where, $n$ is the number of years after 2014

For year 2020 it is 6. Insert the values

$\Rightarrow 1262=795a^{6}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.587=a^{6}\\\\\text{Taking log both sides}\\\\\Rightarrow \log (1.587)=6\log (a)\\\Rightarrow \log (a)=0.2645\\\\\Rightarrow a=10^{0.2645}\\\Rightarrow a=1.84$

Thus, the exponential population trend is $P=795(1.84)^n$
