Answer:

4432

Step-by-step explanation:

Population growth is generally expressed as a percentage of the current population. That means the growth is exponential, and the equation describing it will be ...

population = (initial value) × (growth factor)^t . . . . . where t is in years

where the growth factor is ...

growth factor = 1 +(growth rate)

__

For the given initial value of 3000 and the growth rate of 5%, the equation is ...

population = 3000(1.05^t)

When t=8, the value is ...

population = 3000(1.05^8) ≈ 3000(1.477455) ≈4432.4

The population will be about 4432 in 8 years.

Answer:

(x - 9)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 6x - 27

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 27) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 6)

The factors are - 9 and + 3, since

- 9 × 3 = - 27 and - 9 + 3 = - 6, thus

x² - 6x - 27 = (x - 9)(x + 3)

Let Q(x, y) be the predicate "If x < y then x2 < y2," with domain for both x and y being R, the set of all real numbers.

Levart [38]

Answer:

a) Q(-2,1) is false

b) Q(-5,2) is false

c)Q(3,8) is true

d)Q(9,10) is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is $Q(x,y)$ is predicate that $x$ then $x^{2}$ . where $x,y$ are rational numbers.

a)

when $x=-2, y=1$

Here $-2$ that is $x$ satisfied. Then

$(-2)^{2}$

$4$ this is wrong. since $4>1$

That is $x^{2}$ $>y^{2}$ Thus $Q(x,y)$ $=Q(-2,1)$ is false.

b)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(-5,2)$ .

That is $x=-5, y=2$

Here $-5$ that is $x$ this condition is satisfied.

Then

$(-5)^{2}$

$25$ this is not true. since $25>4$ .

This is similar to the truth value of part (a).

Since in both $x$ satisfied and $x^{2} >y^{2}$ for both the points.

c)

if $Q(x,y)=Q(3,8)$ that is $x=3$ and $y=8$

Here $3$ this satisfies the condition $x$ .

Then $3^{2}$

$9$ This also satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Hence $Q(3,8)$ exists and it is true.

d)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(9,10)$

Here $9$ satisfies the condition $x$

Then $9^{2}$

$81$ satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Thus, $Q(9,10)$ point exists and it is true. This satisfies the same values as in part (c)

A football coach gives half his players a protein bar to eat before each game; the other players do not receive the protein bar.

timofeeve [1]

To make the sure the results did not happen by chance, the coach can ensure that the protein bars are the only difference between the two groups. For example, he can make sure that both groups are drinking the same amounts of water and getting in the same amount of practice; that way, he will be able to determine that one group is performing better due to the protein bars only. Also, the coach can repeat this experiment multiple times to make sure that the results weren't a random, one-time thing.

19 is 50% of what number

RSB [31]

If 19 is half (50%) of something, find that number you would just have to multiply 19 by 2.

This means that 19 is 50% of 38.
