If the town decreases at a rate of 8% per year, it would take 6 years.

100% - 8% = 92%

We would multiply each population per year by 0.92 as the town is decreasing in population by 8% per year

1st year: 18,000 • .92 = 16,560

2nd year: 16,560 • .92 = 15,235.2

3rd year: 15,235.2 • .92 = 14,016.384

4th year: 14,016.384 • .92 = 12,894.72

5th year: 12,894.72 • .92 = 11,863.1424

6th year: 11,863.1424 • .92 = 10,914.091

10,914 is less than 11,000 meaning it would take 6 years for the population to be fewer than 11,000 if the town is decreasing in population at a rate of 8% per year

Walter invests $100,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 12%. How long will it take for his money to

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case since we know that the interest is compounded continuously, then we can use the following formula:

$A =P e^{rt}$

Where A is the future value, P the present value , r the rate of interest in fraction and t the number of years.

For this case we know that P = 100000 and r =0.12 we want to triplicate this amount and that means $A= 300000$ and we want to find the value for t.

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Solve each system by substitution.<br> 5) 5x + 3y =-23<br> y = 4

docker41 [41]

Answer:

(- 7, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 3y = - 23 → (1)

y = 4 → (2)

Substitute y = 4 directly into (1_

5x + 3(4) = - 23, that is

5x + 12 = - 23 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

5x = - 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 7

Solution is (- 7, 4 )
