Answer:

The population in 11 years will be of 53,199.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for a population that doubles every n years.

The population of an specie, after t years, considering that is doubles after n years, is given by an equation in the following format:

P(t) = P(0)(2)^{\frac{t}{n}}

In which P(0) is the initial population.

The population doubles every 15 years, and the current population is 32,000

This means that n = 15, P(0) = 32000. So

P(t) = P(0)(2)^{\frac{t}{n}}

P(t) = 32000(2)^{\frac{t}{15}}

What will be the population in 11 years?

This is P(11). So

P(t) = 32000(2)^{\frac{t}{15}}

P(11) = 32000(2)^{\frac{11}{15}}

P(11) = 53199

The population in 11 years will be of 53,199.

The graph of F(x), shown below, has the same shape as the graph of G(x) = x2, but it is shifted up 3 units. What is its equation
Aliun [14]
For this case, the parent function is given by:
 G (x) = x ^ 2

 Applying the following transformation we have:
 Vertical displacement
 Assume k> 0,
 To graph y = f (x) + k, move the graph k units up.
 We have then:
 F (x) = G (x) + 3

F (x) = x ^ 2 + 3
 Answer:
 
the equation of F (x) is given by:
 F (x) = x ^ 2 + 3

f(x) = −16x2 + 24x + 16 Part A: What are the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x)? Show your work. (2 points) Part B: Is the vertex
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = −16x^2 + 24x + 16

Set equal to zero to find the x intercepts

0  = −16x^2 + 24x + 16

Factor out -8

0 = -8(2x^2 -3x-2)

Factor

0 = -8(2x +1) (x-2)

Using the zero product property

2x+1 =0    x-2 =0

x = -1/2      x=2

The x intercepts are -1/2   ,2

Since the coefficient of x^2 is negative the graph will open down and the vertex will be a maximum

The x value of the maximum is 1/2 way between the zeros

(-1/2+2) /2 = 1.5/2 =.75

To find the y value substitute into the function

f(.75) = -8(2x +1) (x-2)

        =-8(2*.75+1) (.75-2)

        = -8(2.5)(-1.25)

         =25

The vertex is at (.75, 25)

We have the zeros, and  the vertex.  We know the graph is symmetrical about the vertex

The frequency distribution below represents the rents of 250 randomly selected federally subsidized apartments in Washington D.C
Naily [24]

Answer:

92%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of apartments rented for less than $600 is given by the sum of all of the apartments in the 300 to 400, 400 to 500 and 500 to 600 intervals divided by the total number of apartments sampled (250).

P(X

92% of the apartments rented for less than $600.

A parallelogram has sides 24m and 5m. The height corresponding to a 24m base is 4m. What is the height corresponding to a 5m bas
inessss [21]
To solve this problem, you simply have to do base 1 * height 1 = base 2 * height 2. Plugging our numbers in gives us 24 * 4 = 5 * height 2. Solving it out, we get 19.2 as our missing height.
