The population of Mastertown is 23,000 in 2012.
Assuming a yearly increase of 2%, we can model future population with an exponential growth formula. Using the geometric sequence form gives:

A_n = A_1 * r^(n-1)

<span>Population = initial population in 2012 × 0.02^[(year - 2012) - 1]</span>

Answer: y = 23000 (1 + 0.02)^x

Step-by-step solution:

The population in 2012 is 23,000

The annual growth rate is 2%

Using the compound growth formula:

y = a(1 + r)^n

a = initial value

n = number of years

r = growth rate

Interpreting for population (y) after x years since 2012:

a = 23000

Growth rate 2%

r = 2/100 = 0.02

So the model is:

y = 23000 (1 + 0.02)^x

Point T is the midpoint of RS, W is the midpoint of RT, and Z is the midpoint of WS. If the length of TZ is x, find the lengths
PIT_PIT [12445]

Let RS be denoted as y.

Given that T is the midpoint of RS, this results in RT = TS = \frac{y}{2}

And W acting as the midpoint of RT, leads to

thus RW = WT = \frac{\frac{y}{2} }{2} = \frac{y}{4}

Given that Z is the midpoint of WS.

Meaning WZ = ZS = \frac{WS}{2} = \frac{WT+TS}{2} = \frac{(\frac{y}{4} +\frac{y}{2} )}{2} =\frac{3y}{8}

Consequently, TZ = TS - ZS = \frac{y}{2} -\frac{3y}{8} = \frac{4y-3y}{8} = \frac{y}{8}

However, TZ is defined as x.

Thus, \frac{y}{8} = x

y = 8x = RS.

A) Length of RW = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{8x}{4} = 2x

B) Length of WZ = \frac{3y}{8} =\frac{3*8x}{8} = 3x

C) Length of RS = y = 8x

D) Length of ZS = WZ = 3x.

An image is provided for clarification.

max invests $6000 in a savings account for 3 years. the account pays compound interest at a rate of 1.5% per year for the first
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

2.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula can be expressed as:

A=P(1+I)^n\\\\P-Principal \\A-amount\\i-compound \ interest \ rate

Starting with a Principal amount of $6000 and applying an interest rate of 1.5% for the first two years:

A=P(1+i)^n\\\\A_2=6000(1+0.015)^2\\\\A_2=6181.35

We calculate compound interest A_2 for one year at rate i, resulting in $6311.16:

A=P(1+i)^n, n=1, i=i, P=6181.35, A=6311.16\\\\6311.16=6181.35(1+i)^1\\\\\frac{6311.16}{6181.35}=(1+i)\\\\i=\frac{6311.16}{6181.35}-1\\\\i=0.02100

Thus, the interest rate for the third year is 2.1%

PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

0.0000

Unusual

To explain step-by-step:

A tobacco company asserts that the nicotine content in its cigarettes behaves as a random variable with a mean of 2.2 mg and a standard deviation of.3 mg.

This means the population parameters are

\mu =2.2 \\s = 0.3

The likelihood that the sample average would equal or exceed 3.1

=P(X\geq 3.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{3.1-2.2}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{100} } } )\\=P(Z\geq 30)\\

equals 0.0000
