The population of a city is 51,000 and is decreasing at a rate of 1.75% per year. Use an exponential function to find the expected population in 5 years. Round to the nearest whole number.

46,691

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial population, P = 51000

Decreasing rate = 1.75% = 0.0175

Time, t = 5 years

Using the relation :

A (t) = Po * ( 1 - r)^t

A(t) population after t years

Po = Initial population figure

r = rate of decrease

A(t) = 51000 * (1 - 0.0175)^5

A(t) = 51000 * (0.9825)^5

A(t) = 51000 * 0.91550937355400390625

A(t) = 46690.9780

Hence, population after 5 years will be : 46,691

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

(x, y)→(x − 8, y − 7)
