Every five years in March the population of a certain town is recorded in 1995 the town has a population of 4500 people from 1995 to 2000 the population increased by 15% from 2000 to 2005 the population decreased by 4% what is the towns population in 2005?

the population is 2005 should be 4,968

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 4,500 by .15 and add that number to 4,500. That answer is the population in 2000. Then you take that number and multiply it by .04 and subtract that answer from the population in 2000. Hope this helped!

answer: idk

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
