The population of a city is 45,000 and decreases by 2% each year, What will the population be after 15 years?

Correct  N₁₅ = 33,236

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

N = 45,000

decrease 2% each year

N₁₅ = ? Population after 15 years

Now  N = 45,000

After first year   N₁ = 45,000 · 0.98

After second year N₂ = N₁ · 0.98 = (45,000 · 0.98) · 0.98 = 45,000 · 0.98²

After third year  N₃ = N₂ · 0.98 = 45,000 · 0.98² · 0.98 = 45,000 · 0.98³

After 15 years N₁₅ = 45,000 · 0.98¹⁵ = 45,000 · 0.739 = 33,235.6

N₁₅ = 33,236

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
