• Since January 1980, the population, P, of the city of Brownville has increased closely modeling the function, PC) = 720500(1.022) where y is the number of years since January 1980.
(b) By what percent is the population increasing?
a) Explain what the numbers 720,500 and
1.022 represent in this model.

B) The population is increasing by 102.2% each year.

A) 720,500 represents the initial amount of people in January 1980 and 1.022 represents the increase factor that multiplies to the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.022 times 100 equals 102.2% (a number in the decimals place times 100 give you the percent).

g(x) = 3*(8(3^(x−2))+2)

g(x) = 24 (3^(x-2) )+6

the factor is 2

step-by-step explanation:

let f(x)=8(3^(x−2)+2)

to stretch a graph by 3, it would be 3f(x)

g(x) =3f(x)

g(x) = 3*(8(3^(x−2))+2)

g(x) = 24 (3^(x-2) )+6

x     −2     0     2     4     6

f(x) 1/64 1/16   1/4     1     4

1/64 * z * z = 1/16

i multiplies by z twice because it its 2 steps from -2 to 0

1/64 z^2 = 1/16

multiply by 64 to clear the fraction on the left side

1/4 * 64 z^2 =1/16 *64

z^2 = 4

take the square root of each side

sqrt(z^2) = ±sqrt(4)

z = ±2  

we are multiplying by 2 each time.
