Step 1: Convert each binary number to decimal.

(1000101111100)2(1000101111100)_2:
=212+29+27+26+25+24+23+22= 2^{12}+2^{9}+2^7+2^6+2^5+2^4+2^3+2^2
=4096+512+128+64+32+16+8+4=4860= 4096+512+128+64+32+16+8+4 = 4860

=4096+2048+256+64+8+4=6476= 4096+2048+256+64+8+4 = 6476

(11101100100)2(11101100100)_2:
=210+29+28+26+25+22= 2^{10}+2^9+2^8+2^6+2^5+2^2
=1024+512+256+64+32+4=1892= 1024+512+256+64+32+4 = 1892

Step 2: Apply BODMAS — multiplication before addition.
6476×1892=12,242,1926476 \times 1892 = 12,242,192

Step 3: Add.
4860+12,242,192=12,247,0524860 + 12{,}242{,}192 = \boxed{12{,}247{,}052}
4Simplify the following and write in binary notation: (1111000110000)2×5642371(1111000110000)_2 \times 5642371Show solution
Step 1: Convert (1111000110000)2(1111000110000)_2 to decimal.
=212+211+210+29+27+26+24= 2^{12}+2^{11}+2^{10}+2^9+2^7+2^6+2^4

Step 2: Multiply.
7888×5642371=44,506,221,2487888 \times 5642371 = 44{,}506{,}221{,}248

Step 3: Convert 44,506,221,24844{,}506{,}221{,}248 to binary.

Note that 7888=(1111000110000)27888 = (1111000110000)_2 already has the factor 242^4 (four trailing zeros), so:
7888=(111100011)2×247888 = (111100011)_2 \times 2^4

This equals 7888×5642371=44,506,221,2487888 \times 5642371 = 44{,}506{,}221{,}248.

Convert 44,506,221,24844{,}506{,}221{,}248 to binary by repeated division by 2 (or note it equals 7888×56423717888 \times 5642371):

Since 7888=24×4937888 = 2^4 \times 493 and 493=(111101101)2493 = (111101101)_2, and 5642371=(10101100001100000011)25642371 = (10101100001100000011)_2:

The product in binary is obtained by multiplying the two binary numbers and shifting:

Let a=3685, b=7785a = \dfrac{36}{85},\ b = -\dfrac{77}{85}, so z=a+biz = a+bi.

Population Growth — Exercises

1Let the population of the world in tt years after 2010 be given by the formula P=4.7(1.02)tP = 4.7(1.02)^t billions. (i) Calculate the total population of the world in the year 2029 to the nearest million. (ii) Find the year in which the population will be double of the population of 2020.Show solution
Given: P=4.7(1.02)tP = 4.7(1.02)^t billions, where tt is years after 2010.

---

(i) Population in 2029:

Year 2029 corresponds to t=20292010=19t = 2029 - 2010 = 19.

P=4.7×(1.02)19P = 4.7 \times (1.02)^{19}

Compute (1.02)19(1.02)^{19}:
log(1.02)19=19log(1.02)=19×0.00860=0.16340\log(1.02)^{19} = 19\log(1.02) = 19 \times 0.00860 = 0.16340
(1.02)19=100.163401.4568(1.02)^{19} = 10^{0.16340} \approx 1.4568

P=4.7×1.45686.847 billionsP = 4.7 \times 1.4568 \approx 6.847 \text{ billions}

P6,847 million (to the nearest million)\boxed{P \approx 6{,}847 \text{ million (to the nearest million)}}

---

(ii) Year when population doubles the 2020 population:

Step 1: Find population in 2020 (t=10t = 10):
P2020=4.7×(1.02)10P_{2020} = 4.7 \times (1.02)^{10}
(1.02)10=1010×0.00860=100.08601.2190(1.02)^{10} = 10^{10 \times 0.00860} = 10^{0.0860} \approx 1.2190
P20204.7×1.21905.729 billionsP_{2020} \approx 4.7 \times 1.2190 \approx 5.729 \text{ billions}

Step 2: Find tt such that P=2×P2020=2×5.729=11.458P = 2 \times P_{2020} = 2 \times 5.729 = 11.458 billions:
4.7(1.02)t=11.4584.7(1.02)^t = 11.458
(1.02)t=11.4584.7=2.4379(1.02)^t = \frac{11.458}{4.7} = 2.4379

Taking log10\log_{10} on both sides:
tlog(1.02)=log(2.4379)t\log(1.02) = \log(2.4379)
t×0.00860=0.38697t \times 0.00860 = 0.38697
t=0.386970.0086045.0t = \frac{0.38697}{0.00860} \approx 45.0

Step 3: Year =2010+45=2055= 2010 + 45 = \boxed{2055}

The population will be double the 2020 population in the year 2055.
