A model predicts that the population of a certain town was 10,000 in 2001. The model also predicts that each year for the next 5 years, the population p increased by 8% of the previous
year's population. Which equation best represents this model, where X is the number of years after
2001, for X < 5?

The equation that best represents this model is

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation for population growth:

The exponential equation for population growth, after x years, is given by:

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

A model predicts that the population of a certain town was 10,000 in 2001.

This means that

8% yearly increase.

This means that . So

The equation that best represents this model is

14

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
