The initial population of a town is 2600, and it grows with a doubling time of 10 years. Determine how long it will take for the

choli [55]

Answer:

It will take the 20 years for the population to quadruple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential population growth:

An exponential model for population growth has the following model:

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

It grows with a doubling time of 10 years.

This means that $P(10) = 2P(0)$ . We use this to find r. So

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^10$

$(1+r)^10 = 2$

$\sqrt[10]{(1+r)^10} = \sqrt[10]{2}$

$1+r = 2^{\frac{1}{10}}$

$1 + r = 1.0718$

So

$P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t$

$P(t) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

Determine how long it will take for the population to quadruple.

This is t for which P(t) = 4P(0). So

$P(t) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

$4P(0) = P(0)(1.0718)^t$

$(1.0718)^t = 4$

$\log{(1.0718)^t} = \log{4}$

$t\log{1.0718} = \log{4}$

$t = \frac{\log{4}}{\log{1.0718}}$

$t = 20$

It will take the 20 years for the population to quadruple.

What is 2(x + 4)=2(-8- x) - 2x

Maru [420]

Answer:

You want to solve for x, the first thing you need to do is distribute

The 2 through the x+4 then the other 2 through the -8-x

2(x+4)= 2x+8

2(-8-x)= -16-2x

2x+8=-16-2x-2x (combine like terms on the right side)

2x+8=-16-4x (now subtract 8 from each side)

2x=-24-4x (8-8=0, -16-8=-24) (now add 4x to each side)

6x=-24 (-4x+4x=0, 2x+4x=6x), (divide each side by 6)

x=-4 (6/6=1, -24/6=-4)

x=-4

Hope this helps ;)

An observer stands 25 feet from the base of a flagpole and watches a flag being lowered at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Determine the rat

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.1 rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance from or to the flagpole is not given, I will assume. And my assumption is 50 ft

Now, the elevation angle A = 45 degrees, converting to radians, we have π/4 radians

Remember that the tan of an angle is OPP/HYP, and so

tan A = h/25, on differentiating, we have

d tan A/dA = sec^2 A = (1/25) dh/dA

Next, we have

25 sec^2 A * dA/dt= dh/dt = 5

Making dA/dt the subject of formula, we have

dA/dt = (1/5) cos^2 A

but cos^2 A from trigonometry = 1/2, this means that

dA/dt = .1 radians/second

If you want to convert to degrees, your have

.1 Rad/s( 180 deg/rad) = 18 degrees/second
