The number of cities in a region over time is represented by the function C(x)=2.9(1.05)^x. The approximate number of people per

city is represented but the function P(x)=(1.05)^3x+5
Which Function best describes T(x), the approximate population in the region?

HELP!!! PLS

Answer:

B. $T(x) = 2.9\cdot (1.05)^{4\cdot x + 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate population in the region is the product of the number of cities in a region and the approximate number of people per city, that is:

$T(x) = C(x)\cdot P(x)$ (1)

If we know that $C(x) = 2.9\cdot (1.05)^{x}$ and $P(x) = (1.05)^{3\cdot x + 5}$ , then the formula for the approximate population in the region is:

$T(x) = [2.9\cdot (1.05)^{x}]\cdot [(1.05)^{3\cdot x + 5}]$

$T(x) = 2.9\cdot (1.05)^{4\cdot x + 5}$

Hence, correct answer is B.

Sociologists want to test whether the number of homeless people in a particular urban area is increasing. In 2010, the average n

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The test statistic value is 15.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for this test is:

<em>H</em>₀: The average number of homeless people is not increasing, i.e. <em>μ</em> = 42.3.

<em>H</em>ₐ: The average number of homeless people is increasing, i.e. <em>μ</em> > 42.3.

Given:

$\bar x=45.3\\\sigma=6.2\\n=1000$

As the population standard deviation is provided use a single mean <em>z</em>-test for the hypothesis testing.

The test statistic is:

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{45.3-42.3}{6.2/\sqrt{1000}}=15.3$

Thus, the test statistic value is 15.3.

Which of the following shows the extraneous solution to the logarithmic equation? log Subscript 4 Baseline (x) + log Subscript 4

vekshin1

<u>Given:</u>

The given equation is $\log _{4}(x)+\log _{4}(x-3)=\log _{4}(-7 x+21)$

We need to determine the extraneous solution of the equation.

<u>Solving the equation:</u>

To determine the extraneous solution, we shall first solve the given equation.

Applying the log rule $\log _{c}(a)+\log _{c}(b)=\log _{c}(a b)$ , we get;

$\log _{4}(x(x-3))=\log _{4}(-7 x+21)$

Again applying the log rule, if $\log _{b}(f(x))=\log _{b}(g(x))$ then $f(x)=g(x)$

Thus, we have;

$x(x-3)=-7 x+21$

Simplifying the equation, we get;

$x^2-3x=-7 x+21$

$x^2+4x=21$

$x^2+4x-21=0$

Factoring the equation, we get;

$(x-3)(x+7)=0$

Thus, the solutions are $x=3, x=-7$

<u>Extraneous solutions:</u>

The extraneous solutions are the solutions that does not work in the original equation.

Now, to determine the extraneous solution, let us substitute x = 3 and x = -7 in the original equation.

Thus, we get;

$\log _{4}(3)+\log _{4}(3-3)=\log _{4}(-7 \cdot 3+21)$

$\log _{4}(3)+\log _{4}(0)=\log _{4}(0)$

Since, we know that $\log _{a}(0)$ is undefined.

Thus, we get;

Undefined = Undefined

This is false.

Thus, the solution x = 3 does not work in the original equation.

Hence, x = 3 is an extraneous solution.

Similarly, substituting x = -7, in the original equation. Thus, we get;

$\log _{4}(-7)+\log _{4}(-7-3)=\log _{4}(-7(-7)+21)$

$\log _{4}(-7)+\log _{4}(-10)=\log _{4}(49+21)$

$\log _{4}(-7)+\log _{4}(-10)=\log _{4}(70)$

Simplifying, we get;

Undefined = $\log _{4}(70)$

Undefined = 3.06

This is false.

Thus, the solution x = -7 does not work in the original solution.

Hence, x = -7 is an extraneous solution.

Therefore, the extraneous solutions are x = 3 and x = -7

Abbey wants to use her savings of $1,325 to learn yoga. The total charges to learn yoga include a fixed registration fee of $35

Brums [2.3K]

So for this, this can be written into the equation $y=50x+35$ (x = number of months, y = total cost).

To solve this problem, we need to plug in 1325 into the y-variable and solve from there.

$1325=50x+35$

Subtract 35 on each side to get $1290=50x$

Then just divide by 50 on each side, and your answer should be $25.8=x$

And because we cannot go past budget, we will have to round down to 25. In context, the maximum amount of months Abbey can do is 25 months.
