Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
square root(-108) - square root(-3) =8.66025404 i
Answer:
y = 2 - 
Step-by-step explanation:
results in a parabola (U-shape). Adding a negative in front of it flips the parabola to look like an upside-down U.
The 2 makes it shift up two decimal spots to (0,2).
Answer:25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2.84
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that 252 = 7*36
and so:
log base 7 of 252 = log base 7 of 36 + log base 7 of 7, or
log base 7 of 36 + 1
So the most you can simplify log base 7 of 252 is to write 1 + log base 7 of 36.
Or, if you want to use the change of base formula, you could do the following:
log 36
log base 7 of 36 = -------------- = 1.84
log 7
and so log base 7 of 252 would come out to
1 + log base 7 of 36 = 1 + 1.84 = 2.84
Check: does 7^2.84 = 252? YES. So we know that:
1 + log base 7 of 36 = 2.84
