The values of VT and ST for the given rectangle are 13 and 23.56 respectively.

The given parameters:

RV = x + 6
US = 5x - 9
RS = 11

The value of VT and ST is calculated as follows;

from the given diagram we can conclude the following;

2RV = RT = US

$2(x + 6) = 5x - 9\\\\2x + 12 = 5x - 9\\\\12 + 9 = 5x - 2x\\\\21=3x\\\\x = 7$

RT = 2RV = 2VT = 2(7 + 6) = 26

VT = ¹/₂ x 26

VT = 13

The value of ST can be determined from Pythagoras theorem as follows;

$ST = \sqrt{RT^2 - RS^2} \\\\ST = \sqrt{26^2 - 11^2} \\\\ST = 23.56$

The population, p, of a town after t years is represented using the equation p=10000(1.04)^-t Which of the following is an equiv

Lisa [10]

Answer:

p=10000(26/25)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that the population, p, of a town after t years is represented using the equation p=10000(1.04)^-t

The equation is equivalent to p=10000(26/25)t, because;

26/25 = 1.04

Hence; p=10000(26/25)t =p=10000(1.04)^t

Answer:

f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) An exponential growth (or decay) function can be written using the form ...

f(t) = (initial value)·(ratio in period)^(t/period)

Here, we're given an initial value of 1.22, a growth ratio of 1.73/1.22 in a period of 5 years, so we can write the function as ...

f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

(b) In 2038-2012 = 26 years, the value of the function is ...

f(26) = 1.22·(173/122)^(26/5) ≈ 7.50 . . . . million
