Please help me with this problem about growth and decay.

The population of the town in Iowa after 13 years is 9,130

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the town are;

The population of the town in Iowa in 2007, a = 12,355

The rate at which the people of the town leave Iowa for Minnesota, r = 2.3% per year

We are required to find the population of the town after t = 13 years

The given population decay function is presented as follows;

Where;

a = The initial population of the town = 12,355

r = The annual percentage rate at which the people of the town leave Iowa for Minnesota = 2.3% per year = 0.023

t = The number of years over which the population changes = 13 years = 13

∴ f(13) = 12,355 × (1 - 0.023)¹³ = 9130.02734094

Therefore, the population of the town in Iowa after 13 years ≈ 9,130 (we round down to the nearest whole number).

the answer is two. hope this !

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.
