In 2010, a city's population was 1,405,233 and it was decreasing at a rate of 1.1%. At this rate when will the city's population fall below 1,200,000?
c. 2036
Answer:
slope should be 1.50x and your y-intercept should be 7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
From the problem, the vertex = (0, 0) and the focus = (0, 3)
From the attached graphic, the equation can be expressed as:
(x -h)^2 = 4p (y -k)
where (h, k) are the (x, y) values of the vertex (0, 0)
The "p" value is the difference between the "y" value of the focus and the "y" value of the vertex.
p = 3 -0
p = 3
So, we form the equation
(x -0)^2 = 4 * 3 (y -0)
x^2 = 12y
To put this in proper quadratic equation form, we divide both sides by 12
y = x^2 / 12

Repeating decimals are considered rational numbers because they can be represented as a ratio of two integers. If a number is terminating or repeating, it must be rational if a decimal is both non terminating and non repeating, the number is irrational.
So yes.
