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.

Sal wants to know if he has enough money to buy 4 gallons of gas. If he has $15, and each gallon of gas costs $3.29, which is a
velikii [3]

Answer:

Remember that when you are making stimates, you are going to roiund to the nearest dollar. Since $3.29 is closer to 3 dollars than four dollars, Sam should use the 3 dollars figure to estimate if he can afford 4 gallons of gas.

$3+$3+$3+$3=$12 

The actual value is , so $3 per gallon is indeed a god estimate.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: $3 + $3 + $3 + $3 = 12, so Sal can afford the gas.

49 = -5n – 2n<br> I think I know the answer but just wanna be sure?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

n = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

49 = -5n - 2n

combine like terms

-5 - 2 = -7

49 = -7n

divide both sides by -7

49/-7 = -7n/-7

49/-7 = n

49/-7 = -7

-7 = n

What is the x-value of the solution to the system of equations?
Helen [10]
5x + 4y = 8
2x - 3y = 17
(multiply the bottom equation by -2.5)
5x + 4y = 8
+
-5x + 7.5y = -42.5
—————————
(5x’s cancel out)
11.5y = -34.5
—— ———
11.5 11.5
y = -3

(Plug y in the equations to find x)

5x + 4(-3) = 8
5x - 12 = 8
5x = 20
—-
5
x = 4

(confirm using the other equation)

2(4) - 3(-3) = 17
8 + 9 = 17
17 does equal 17!
