God yes please

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

where is the question tho:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Attached in the very first comment? o.o

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

oh O.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please tell me you understand it Dx

OpenStudy (misty1212):

lol hi!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you got a clue or no?

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

what u think the answer is

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the answer is a calculator exercise, you cannot guess at it very well

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

misty do u know the answer

OpenStudy (misty1212):

we can do it though, is going to take a few steps the last step is a calculator, but there are several before that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(Sorry am here os had a lag! And I have no clue how to do this :/ I have a crappy online calculator but I also have very little idea on how it works.)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

@alivejeremy no, but i know how to do it (two ways)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

lets go slow ok?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

first, how many years from 1995 to 2001?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

??

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

@WhatEven

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

@WhatEven Are you here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes Os is still lagging ><

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 years

Zeronknight (zeronknight):

Ok. I understand. OS is laggy from time to time. If you take too long. I Suggest tagging misty or others willing to help you (If it takes way to long cause lag, and they leave)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

6 is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh okay. I am sorry. I have a test running in another window in case it's my internet to fix the problem. What do we do with the 6 now? O.O

OpenStudy (misty1212):

now the population increased from 228 to 230 or a factor of \[\frac{230}{228}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we divide 230 by 228 as our next step?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

leave it like that

OpenStudy (misty1212):

or reduce to \(\frac{115}{114}\) but don't make it a decimal

OpenStudy (misty1212):

now in 1995 it was 225 and it took 6 years to grow by a factor of \(\frac{115}{114}\) so we can use as our model \[\huge P(t)=228\times \left(\frac{115}{114}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

take it slow and see that we only used the numbers given to us just had to put them in the right place

OpenStudy (misty1212):

now finally we can finish how many years from 1995 to 2010?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no not 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh,sorry I read that too fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no problem try again

OpenStudy (misty1212):

keep trying

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[2010-1995=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh 15 ._.,

OpenStudy (misty1212):

right

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so we can use \[\huge P(15)=228\times \left(\frac{115}{114}\right)^{\frac{15}{6}}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i would use wolfram to compute this, easier than a calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 57? @misty1212

OpenStudy (misty1212):

heck no did you open the link?

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

lol

OpenStudy (misty1212):

go down to where is says "decimal approximation"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had I didn't realize I thought 57 was the end ><

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 233? I can't put in a decimal.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

57 was the denominator of one of those answers look at the deicimal

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yeah 233 is the closest whole number

OpenStudy (alivejeremy):

yup

OpenStudy (misty1212):

it says "round to the nearest million" so put in 233 kind of silly though, if i rounded the money i have in the bank to the nearest million i would have zero dollars

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! my assignment said correct :) Could you help with more if I need? ><

OpenStudy (misty1212):

sure

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i will charge you only to the nearest million dollars

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha!!! Deal :)
