Answer:

  • 49.9 years or 50 years later.
  • At year : 2042

Explanation:

use compound interest formula:  \sf \boxed{ \sf P ( \sf 1 + \dfrac{r}{100} )^n}

\rightarrow \s \sf 10( 1 + \dfrac{1.4}{100} )^n = 20

\rightarrow \sf ( 1.014) ^n = 2

\rightarrow \sf n( ln( 1.014) ) = ln(2)

\rightarrow\sf n = \dfrac{ln(2)}{ln( 1.014)}

\rightarrow\sf n = 49.8563 \ years

Answer:

General form of an exponential equation:  y=ab^x

where:

  • a is initial value
  • b is the base (or growth factor in decimal form)
  • x is the independent variable
  • y is the dependent variable
  • If b > 1 then it is an increasing function
  • If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function
  • Also b ≠ 0

Given information:

  • initial population = 10 million
  • growth rate = 1.4% each year

⇒ growth factor = 100% + 1.4% = 101.4% = 1.014

Inputting these values into the equation:

\implies y=10(1.014)^x

where y is the population (in millions) and x is the number of years since 1992

Now all we need to do is set y = 20 and solve for x:

\implies 10(1.014)^x=20

\implies 1.014^x=2

\implies \ln 1.014^x=\ln 2

\implies x\ln 1.014=\ln 2

\implies x=\dfrac{\ln 2}{\ln 1.014}

\implies x=49.85628343...

1992 + x = 2041.8562....

Therefore, the population will reach 20 million during 2041, so the population will reach 20 million by 2042.

Write an equation of the line with the given characteristics (show all work)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

1. y = - 4 x + 5

2.  x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  (-1,9) (1,1)

y = mx + b

m = (y-y') / (x-x') = (1-9) / (1-(-1)) = -8 / 2 = - 4

b = y - mx = 9 - (-4) x (-1) = 5

equation: y = - 4 x + 5

check: (1,1)   y=1 = (-4) x 1 + 5 = 1

2. Vertical line through (-8,6) is a line perpendicular to x axis

    x = -8

Three consecutive even numbers add up to a number between 100 and 120 what might the number be?
Rzqust [24]
<span>The number can be 102, 108, or 114.  They can all be formed that way.

32 + 34 + 36 = 102
34 + 36 + 38 = 108
36 + 38 + 40 = 114

</span>The n<span>ext one is 120 . . . . . 38 + 40 + 42</span>

Point P is at the origin. Then Point P is moved 4 units to the right and 5 units up.
taurus [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The origin (x,y) is (0,0)

If its moved four units right you must add 4 to the x coordinate giving you (4,0)

Then it is moved up by 5, so you must add 5 to the y coordinate giving you

(4,5)
