The population, in millions, of a city t years after 1990 is given by the equation p(t) = 2.9 + 0.08t. in this function, a) 0.08 million is the population of the city in 1990 and 2.9 million is the increase per year in the population. b) 2.9 million is the population of the city in 1991 and 2.98 million is the population in 1992. c) 2.9 million is the population of the city in 1990 and 0.08 million is the increase per year in the population. d) 2.9 million is the population of the city in 1990 and 0.08 million is the decrease per year in the population.

The answer is the option C

million is the population of the city in 1990 and million is the increase per year in the population

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t------> the time in year

P(t)----->  the population in millions

we have

This is a linear equation

where

The term is the y-intercept of the linear equation

The term represent , is the population of the city in 1990

The term is the slope of the linear equation

The term represent the increase per year in the population

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
