In the population growth formula, P is the final population, A is the initial population, e is euler's number, k is the growth constant, and t is the time in years. We have enough information to solve for k given what we have for the years 91 and 2000. Our P is going to be the population in 2000, our A is going to be the population in 1991, and t is the difference between them, which is 9. We set up to solve for k: $141,000,000=136,000,000e^{9k}$ . We divide those 2 huge numbers to get $1.036764706=e^{9k}$ . In order to get that k out from its current place as an exponent, we have to take the natural log of both sides. Since the natural log has a base of e, taking the natural log of e undo each other, leaving us with ln(1.036764706)=9k . On our calculator we find that natural log of that decimal is .0361050048, so our equation now looks like this: .0361050048=9k . Dividing by 9 we have a k value that is very tiny at .0040116672. Now we can use that in our equation to find the population estimation in 2016. Our P is our unknown, our A is the same as before at 136,000,000; and our t is the difference between 2016 and 1991, which is 25. Setting up to solve for P this time: $P=136,000,000e^{.0040116672*25}$ , which simplifies to $P=136,000,000e^{.10029168$ . First we raise e to that decimal on our calculator and then multiply it by the 136,000,000 to get an estimation of population to be 150,347,091. They want that rounded to the neasrest million, so the final answer will be 150,000,000

Which number produces a rational number when added to 0.25?

Answer from: Quest

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
