The growth rate of a population is the rate at which the population changes

<em>The rate of change is 0.0729 people per second</em>

Let:

<em>b represents birth</em>

<em>d represents death</em>

<em>m represents migrant</em>

<em />

So, the given parameters are:

\mathbf{b = \frac 18\ people/sec}

\mathbf{d = -\frac 1{12}\ people/sec}

\mathbf{m = \frac 1{32}\ people/sec}

<em>The negative sign represents death</em>

So, the population change f'(o) every second is:

\mathbf{f'(o) = b + d + m}

This gives

\mathbf{f'(o) = \frac 18 - \frac{1}{12} + \frac 1{32}}

Take LCM

\mathbf{f'(o) = \frac{12 - 8 + 3}{96}}

\mathbf{f'(o) = \frac{7}{96}}

Divide

\mathbf{f'(o) = 0.072916}

Approximate

\mathbf{f'(o) = 0.0729}

Hence, the rate of change is 0.0729 people per second

A wire b units long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into an equilateral triangle and the other is bent into a circle.
mezya [45]
1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x. 

2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3

There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A= \frac{1}{2}sin60^{o}side*side=   \frac{1}{2} \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}  (\frac{b-x}{3}) ^{2}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}
A=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}( b^{2}-2bx+ x^{2}  )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6

3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

 2 \pi r=x

so r= \frac{x}{2 \pi }

Area of circle = \pi  r^{2}= \pi  ( \frac{x}{2 \pi } )^{2} = \frac{ \pi }{ 4 \pi ^{2}  }* x^{2} = \frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}

4. Let f(x)=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}+\frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.

5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0

f'(x)=\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0

\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0

(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) x=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b

x= \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }

6. So one part is \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) } and the other part is b-\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }

What is the solution set of x2 + y2 = 26 and x − y = 6? A. {(5, -1), (-5, 1)} B. {(1, 5), (5, 1)} C. {(-1, 5), (1, -5)} D. {(5,
Rus_ich [418]
He two equations given are
x^2 + y^2 = 26
And
x - y = 6
x = y +6
Putting the value of x from the second equation to the first equation, we get
x^2 + y^2 = 26
(y + 6) ^2 + y^2 = 26
y^2 + 12y + 36 + y^2 = 26
2y^2 + 12y + 36 - 26 = 0
2y^2 + 12y + 10 = 0
y^2 + 6y + 5 = 0
y^2 + y + 5y + 5 = 0
y(y + 1) + 5 ( y + 1) = 0
(y + 1)(y + 5) = 0
Then 
y + 1 = 0
y = -1
so x - y = 6
     x + 1 = 6
x = 5
Or
y + 5 = 0
y = - 5
Again x = 1
So the solutions would be (-1, 5), (1 , -5). The correct option is option "C".
