The town of Springfield, USA has a population of 9900 people. The population is growing at a rate of 2.3% each year. Which expression gives the town's population 5 years from now?

The expression that represents the town's population after 5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Current population of Springfield, USA = 9,900

Rate of growth per year = 2.3%

To find the expression that represents the town's population after 5 years.

Solution:

The exponential growth expression is given as:

where :

represents the final population after years

represents the initial population

represents the rate of growth in percent

Plugging in  the known values.

Simplifying.

Thus, the above expression represents the population after 5 years.

answer: the anser is 3

step-by-step explanation:

c- 2o is equal to 9

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
