13. The population of a city is currently 45,000 and is declining at a rate of 2% each year. Estimate the population after a period of 5 years. Use the formula ƒ(t) = aert.

Given:

Initial population = 45,000

Decreasing rate = 2%

Time = 5 year

To find:

The population after a period of 5 years.

Solution:

Formula used:

where, a is initial population, r is rate and t is time.

Decreasing rate represented by -0.02.

Substitute a=45000, r=-0.02 and t=5 in the above formula.

Approximate the value to the previous integer.

Therefore, the population after 5 years is 40717.

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16
