A city has a population of 210,000 people. Suppose that each year the population grows by 3.25% . What will the population be after 10 years?
Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest whole number.

the population be after 10 years is 289145

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^t

Where

y represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 210000

r = 3.25% = 3.25/100 = 0.0325

t = 10 years

Therefore,

y = 210000(1 + 0.0325)^10

y = 210000(1.0325)^10

y = 289145

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

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
