The population of a country increases continuously at a rate of 8%. If the current population is 800,000, what will the population be in 5.5 years? Round your answer to TWO decimal places.

The answer is 844,000

Step-by-step explanation:

to make it easier you can break the 800,000 into 8 100,000 pieces, 8% of 100,000 is 8,000, 8,000 times 8 is 44,000 and now just add 800,000 and 44,000.

a 360 degree rotation

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
