In 2014, the population of India1 was 1.236 billion people and increasing at a rate proportional to its population. If the population is measured in billions of people and time is measured in years, the constant of proportionality is 0.0125. Define P to be the population of India, in billions of people, in the year t, where t represents the number of years since 2014.

P = 1.236 * (1.0125)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

As the Population increases at a rate proportional to itself, this is an exponencial growth, so we can write the following formula:

P = Po * (1+r)^t

where P is the population after t years, Po is the inicial population (at t=0), r is the rate of growth and t is the amount of time in years.

For our problem, we have that Po = 1.236 and r = 0.0125.

Finally, we can write the equation for P:

P = 1.236 * (1.0125)^t

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
