Suppose a city with population 800,000 has been growing at a rate of 5% per year. If this rate continues, find the population of

this city in 22 years
Mathematics
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]2 years ago

Answer:

2,340,208.5 or 2,340,209

Step-by-step explanation:

You could answer this by multiplying the current population of 800,000 by 1.05 (1.05 represents the annual growth rate of population) and do that 22 times.  But that would take a while.

we got 1.05 because the formula says that y = a( 1 + r ) power t

for a we will give it 1

so y = 1 ( 1 + 0.05) power t

it will give us 1.05

to do this faster, you would first calculate (1.05)22and then multiply this by 800,000.

So, 800,000 x (1.05)22 = 2,340,208.5 or 2,340,209

Find the complex factors of the quadratic trinomial x^2 + 8x +17
Naily [24]

Answer: Factoring  x2+8x+17

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +8x  its coefficient is  8 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +17

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 17 = 17

Step-2 : Find two factors of  17  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   8 .

     -17    +    -1    =    -18

     -1    +    -17    =    -18

     1    +    17    =    18

     17    +    1    =    18

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Equation at the end of step

1

:

 x2 + 8x + 17  = 0

STEP

2

:

Parabola, Finding the Vertex:

2.1      Find the Vertex of   y = x2+8x+17

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) .   We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is  -4.0000  

Plugging into the parabola formula  -4.0000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :

 y = 1.0 * -4.00 * -4.00 + 8.0 * -4.00 + 17.0

or   y = 1.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = x2+8x+17

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={-4.00}

Vertex at  {x,y} = {-4.00, 1.00}  

Function has no real rootsvSolving   x2+8x+17 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Subtract  17  from both side of the equation :

  x2+8x = -17

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  8 , divide by two, giving  4 , and finally square it giving  16

Add  16  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  -17  +  16    or,  (-17/1)+(16/1)

 The common denominator of the two fractions is  1   Adding  (-17/1)+(16/1)  gives  -1/1

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x2+8x+16 = -1

Adding  16  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x2+8x+16  =

  (x+4) • (x+4)  =

 (x+4)2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x2+8x+16 = -1 and

  x2+8x+16 = (x+4)2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x+4)2 = -1

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #2.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

  (x+4)2   is

  (x+4)2/2 =

 (x+4)1 =

  x+4

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to  Eq. #2.2.1  we get:

  x+4 = √ -1

Subtract  4  from both sides to obtain:

  x = -4 + √ -1

In Math,  i  is called the imaginary unit. It satisfies   i2  =-1. Both   i   and   -i   are the square roots of   -1

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative

  x2 + 8x + 17 = 0

  has two solutions:

 x = -4 + √ 1 •  i

  or

 x = -4 - √ 1 •  i

The volume of a cube is V=s3 , where s is the length of one edge of the cube. What is the edge length s for each cube?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

s = \sqrt[3]{999} }

Step-by-step explanation:

V = s^3

Plug in the given volume.

999 = s^3

Take the third root of both sides to cancel out the ^3.

\sqrt[3]{999} } = s

(b) Develop a probability distribution for x y. x y f(x y) 130 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. 80 Incorrect: Your answer is
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

P(X = x, Y = y) = f(x, y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a discrete random variable, and suppose that the possible values that it can assume are given by x1, x2,  x3, . . . , arranged in some order. Suppose also that these values are assumed with probabilities given by

P(X = xk) = f(xk)                k = 1, 2, . . . (1)

It is convenient to introduce the probability function, also referred to as probability distribution, given by

P(X = x) = f(x)

If X and Y are two discrete random variables, we define the joint probability function

of X and Y by

P(X = x, Y = y) = f(x, y)

where f(x, y) ≥ 0
