The table shows the population of California for 2000 and2010, with estimates given by the US. Census Bureau for2001 through 2009.
Year | 2000 2001 | 2002 | 2003 2004 | |
Population in million* | 33.8734.21 | 34.55 | 34.90 35.25 | |
Year | 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 |
2010 | ||
Population in millions | 35.60 36.00 36.36 36.72 37 09 | 37.25 |
a. Divide the population for each year by the populationin the preceding year. Round to two decimal places andshow that California has a population increase that isapproximately geometric. 1.01 for all $$$
b. Write the general term of the geometric sequence
modeling California's population, in millions, n yearsafter 1999.
c. Use your model from part (b) to project California'spopulation, in millions, for the year 2020. Round to twodecimal places. –41.33 million

- 7. [10 marks] Let G = (V,E) be a 3-connected graph with at least 6 vertices. Let C be a cycle in G of length 5. We show how to find a longer cycle in G. (a) Let x be a vertex of G that is not on C. Show that there are three C-paths Po, P1, P2 that are disjoint except at the shared initial vertex and only intersect C at their final vertices. (b) Show that at least two of P0, P1, P2 have final vertices that are adjacent along C. (c) Combine two of Po, P1, P2 with C to produce a cycle in G that is longer than C.arrow_forward1.
