An epidemic has hit clinton city. its population is declining 22% every hour. in just 4 hours, there are only 35,542 people left in the city. what was the initial population in the city before the epidemic broke out? 85,689 14,742 85,688 14,743

Step-by-step explanation:

Clinton city was hit by an epidemic and hence population was declining 22% every hour

Let t be the no of hours after epidemic and A, the initial population at the start of epidemic

Then

Also given that P(4) = 35542

We have to calculate A from this

Substitute t =4 and P (4) = 35542

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
