Answer:
a) [tex]P(t) = 11500 + 425t[/tex]
b) The slope is of 425 people, which is by how much the population increases each year.
c) The vertical intercept is of 11500 people, and it represents the population of Little Townville in the year 2000.
d) 17,875 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function that measures population after t years has the following format:
[tex]P(t) = P(0) + at[/tex]
In which P(0) is the vertical intercept, which represents the initial population, and a is the slope, which represents the yearly population.
a. Write a function for the population, P, in terms of the number of years since 2000.
The first step is finding the slope.
Finding the slope:
The slope is the change in the output divided by the change in the input, during a period of time.
The population of Little Townville in 2005 was 13,625 people. In 2009 the population grew to 15,325 people.
This means that in 2009 - 2005 = 4 years, the population increased by 15325 - 13625 = 1700.
So the slope is
[tex]a = \frac{1700}{4} = 425[/tex]
So
[tex]P(t) = P(0) + 425t[/tex]
Finding the initial population:
We want to find P(0), which is the population in 2000. The population of Little Townville in 2005 was 13,625 people, which means that [tex]P(5) = 13625[/tex]. So
[tex]P(t) = P(0) + 425t[/tex]
[tex]13625 = P(0) + 425*5[/tex]
[tex]P(0) = 13625 - 425*5[/tex]
[tex]P(0) = 11500[/tex]
So
[tex]P(t) = 11500 + 425t[/tex]
b. What is the slope of the function and what does it represent in the context of the problem. Include units.
The slope is of 425 people, which is by how much the population increases each year.
c. What is the vertical intercept of the function and what does it represent? Include units
The vertical intercept is of 11500 people, and it represents the population of Little Townville in the year 2000.
d. What do you believe the population was in 2015?
2015 is 2015 - 2000 = 15 years after 2000, so this is P(15).
[tex]P(15) = 11500 + 425*15 = 17875[/tex]

Question 11
A rectangle with a perimeter of 12 inches is enlarged by a scale factor of 3. What is the perimeter of the enlarged
rectangle?
Answer:
The perimeter of the enlarged rectangle is 36 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of an enlarged figure:
To find the perimeter of an enlarged figure, we multiply the perimeter of the original figure by the scale factor.
In this question:
Perimeter of the original rectangle: 12 inches
Scale factor: 3
Perimeter of the enlarged rectange:
12*3 = 36 inches
1. The nominal rate on Sandra's loan is 7.125%. If the interest is compounded monthly, what rate of
interest is Sandra actually paying? (use the formula)
Answer:
She is actually paying a rate of 7.36% of interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
The real interest rate, as a decimal, is given by:
[tex]I = (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{n}[/tex]
In which r is the interest rate and n is the number of compoundings during an year.
The nominal rate on Sandra's loan is 7.125%, compounded monthly:
This means that [tex]r = 0.07125, n = 12[/tex]
So
[tex]I = (1 + \frac{0.07125}{12})^{12} = 1.0736[/tex]
As a percentage: 1.0736*100 = 107.36% - 100% = 7.36%
She is actually paying a rate of 7.36% of interest.

x-5(x-1) = x- (2x-3)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5(x-1) = x- (2x-3)
x + x *(-5) + (-1) * (-5) = x + 2x*(-1) + (-3)*(-1) {use distributive property}
x - 5x + 5 = x - 2x +3 {Combine like terms}
-4x + 5 = - x +3 {Add 'x' to both sides}
-4x + 5 + x = -x + x + 3
-3x + 5 = 3 {subtract 5 from both sides}
-3x = 3 - 5
-3x = -2 {Divide both sides by (-3)}
x = -2/-3
x = 2/3

Quadrilateral WXYZ is dilated by a scale factor of į to form quadrilateral W'X'Y'Z'. What is the measure of side ZW? Z 28 Y" 42 42 W 28
Answer:
See Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The given side lengths are not clear enough:
So, I will give a general explanation.
From the question, we understand WXYZ is dilated to produce W'X'Y'Z
This implies that the sides of WYZY is multiplied by the scale factor (k) to give W'X'Y'Z'
i.e.
[tex]ZW *k =Z'W'[/tex]
Divide both sides by k to get side length ZW
[tex]ZW = \frac{Z'W'}{k}[/tex]
Assume that:
[tex]k = 4[/tex] and
[tex]Z'W' = 28[/tex]
[tex]ZW = \frac{Z'W'}{k}[/tex]
[tex]ZW = \frac{28}{4}[/tex]
[tex]ZW = 7[/tex]
Apply these steps and you will get your answer
when a two digit number is multiplied by its unit digits, the product is 336. When the digits are reversed and the new number is multiplied by its new unit digits, the product is 325.If the sum of the digits is 11, find the original two digit number
9514 1404 393
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
In the base-10 number system, the only two digits that have themselves as the least significant digit of their square are 5 and 6.* If multiplying a 2-digit number by the ones digit gives a ones-digit of 6, then the ones digit must be 6.
Similarly, if the ones digit of the product is 5, the ones digit of the number must be 5.
So, the ones digit of the original number is 6, and the ones digit of the reversed 2-digit number is 5. The original number is 56.

Check
56 × 6 = 336
65 × 5 = 325
5 + 6 = 11
_____
* Additional comment
These digits are called "automorphs." Automorphs ending in 5 or 6 can be extended to any number of digits. For example, the 3-digit automorph ending in 6 is 376. 376² = 141376. Similarly, the 3-digit automorph ending in 5 is 625. 625² = 390625
