If we assume that 2010 is t=0 what is the initial value and what does it mean?

does the data best fit a linear or an exponential model?

what equation best models this data?

will give brainliest!

The initial value is 309.35

It means that in the year 2010 (starting year) the population was 309,350,000 people or written another way "309.35 million". The second way is more short so probably the more preferred method.

To find the value 309.35, simply look at the table under the value t = 0.

309.35 million, the initial number of people in 2010

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is when t =0, so looking at the table, (t=0 in 2010)  , the initial value is 309.35 million

This is the starting population when use for our exponential growth or decay model.  It is the number of people at our initial time.  Since the population is increasing, w have exponential growth

25/4

step-by-step explanation:

call segment cd's length x. because dc and ab are parallel, angle acd and cab, so triangles adc and abc are similar and we can set up the equation x / ac = ac / ab, or x / 5 = 5 / 4 and x = 25/4.
