The initial population is
P₀ = 94 million in 1993

The growth formula is
$P(t) = P_{0}e^{kt}$
where P(t) is the population (in millions) after t years, measured from 1993.
k = constant.

Because P(5) = 99 million (in 1999),
$94e^{5k} = 99 \\e^{5k}=1.0532 \\ 5k = ln(1.0532) \\ k = 0.010367$

In the year 2005, t = 12 years, and
$P(12)=94e^{0.010367*12} = 106.45$

Answer: 106 million (nearest million)

Define a function f on a set of real numbers as follows: f(x) = 3x − 1 x , for each real number x ≠ 0 Prove that f is one-to-one

dalvyx [7]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x}$

For each real number $x\neq 0$

To prove that f is one -to-one.

Proof:Let $x_1$ and $x_2$ be any nonzero real numbers such that

$f(x_1)=f(x_2)$

By using the definition of f to rewrite the left hand side of this equation

$f(x_1)=\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}$

Then, by using the definition of f to rewrite the right hand side of this equation of $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$

$f(x_2)=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}$

Equating the expression then we get

$\frac{3x_1-1}{x_1}=\frac{3x_2-1}{x_2}$

$3x_1x_2-x_2=3x_2x_1-x_1$

$3x_1x_2-3x_1x_2+x_1=x_2$

$x_1=x_2$

Therefore, f is one-to-one.

A doctor is measuring the average height of male students at a large college. The doctor measures the heights, in inches, of a s

denpristay [2]

Answer:

For this case the 95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=40-1=39$

For this case the 95% confidence interval is given (63.5 , 74.4) and we want to conclude about the result. For this case we can say that the true mean of heights for male students would be between 63.5 and 74.4. And the best answer would be:

b. The doctor can be 95% confident that the mean height of male students at the college is between 63.5 inches and 74.4 inches.

You need at least $485 to go on a trip to New York City. You already have $100 saved for the trip. You decide to save an additio

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Remark
The entire trip costs 485 dollars. She has a hundred, and you are looking for the number of weeks needed to save for the trip.

Step one
Set up the basic equation.
35w + 100 ≥ 485

Step two
solve
35w + 100 ≥ 485 Subtract 100 from both sides.
35W ≥ 485 - 100
35W ≥ 385 Divide by 35
W ≥ 385 / 35
W ≥ 11 weeks.

Since we don't have choices, we can't eliminate those that are wrong.

If I had to guess I would say it was something that looked like
35W + 100 ≥ 485

Explain why both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer and the advantage of one method over the other.

Lynna [10]

Complete question :

Jenna’s method: Mia’s method: 5(30 + 4) 5(30 + 4) (5)(30) + (5)(4) 5(34) = 170 150 + 20 = 170 Explain why both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer and the advantage of one method over the other.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna's method :

5(30 + 4) = 5(34) = 170

Mia’s method :

5(30 + 4) :

5(30) + 5(4)

150 + 20

= 170

With both methods, we will arrive at the same answer as justified in the workings above. However, Jenna's method gives a very simple approach and less complicated arithmetic by using the distributive property to overrode some multiplication process which Mia went through in her own calculation. Therefore, Jenna's method is less complicated and requires two simple steps at obtaining the final result.
