For this case, what you need to know is that to model this problem, you must use equations of the potential type:
 y = A * (b) ^ t
 Where:
 A: initial population.
 b: growth rate.
 t: time.
 Substituting values we have:
 y = 15200 * (1.02) ^ t
 After 10 years we have:
 y = 15200 * (1.02) ^ 10
 y = 18529
 Answer:
 An equation to model of the population growth is:
 y = 15,200 ∙ 1.02 ^ x
 the population after 10 years is:
 about 18,529

In Speed Study Number 1, we looked at two cars traveling the same distance at different speeds on city streets. Car "A" traveled
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

b-about 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For an object in uniform circular motion (=moving at constant velocity), the time taken to cover a certain distance is given by:

t=\frac{d}{v}

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed of the object

In this problem we have:

d = 10 miles is the distance covered by both cars

Car A travels at a speed of

v_A=35 mi/h

So the time it takes is

t=\frac{10}{35}=0.286 h \cdot 60 \frac{min}{h}= 17.2 min

Car B travels at a speed of

v_B=45 mi/h

So the time it takes is

t'=\frac{d}{v_B}=\frac{10}{45}=0.222 h \cdot 60 \frac{min}{h}=13.3 min

So the difference in time is

\Delta t = t-t'=17.2 min - 13.3 min \sim 4 min

So, the closest answer is

b-about 5 minutes

If f(7)=22, then f^-1(f(7))=?<br> Please help!!
alexira [117]

Answer:

  7

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the point of an inverse function is to show you the value that gives a particular function value. That is, ...

  f^{-1}(22)=7\\\\f^{-1}(f(x))=x\\\\f^{-1}(f(7))=7

Jason’s savings account has a balance of $2179. After 5 years , what will the amount of interest be at 6% compounded quarterly?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$755.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the compound amount first and then subtract the principal from it, to find the amount of interest.

The compound amount formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where

P is the initial principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years.  Here, P = $2179; t = 5 yrs; r = 0.06; and n = 4 (quarterly compounding).

We get:

A = $2179(1 + 0.06/4)^(4*5), or $2179(1.015)^20, or $2179(1.347) = $2937.80.

The compound amount is $2934.80.  Subtracting the $2179 principal results in the interest earned:  $755.80.

ABCDEFGHIJ is a regular decagon. It rotates clockwise about its center to form the polygon A′B′C′D′E′F′G′H′I′J′. Match each angl
Lostsunrise [7]
A decagon has 10 sides.

It it is regular you can build 10 isosceles triangles from the center of the decagon to the 10 sides.

Each triangle has a common vertex where the angle of each triangle is 360° / 10 = 36°.

So each time that you rotate the decagon a multiple of 36° around the center you get an image that coincides with the original decagon.

If the letters are given clockwise:

- when you rotate 36° counter clockwise, the point A' (the image of A) will coincide with the point J.

- when you rotate 72° (2 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on I.

- when you rotate 108° (3 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on H.

- when you rotate 144° (4 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on G.

- when you rotate 180° (5 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on I.

- when you rotate 216° (6 times 36°) counter clockwise, the point A' will land on E.

- whn you rotate 252° (7 times 36°) counterclockwise, the point A' will coincide with D.

Add other 36° each time and A' will coincide successively with C, B and the same A.
