The healthcare field will face with new challenges with the growing percentage of old population in the United States, like needing more employees.

The older population is the population that uses the healthcare system the most, because it is a natural trend that as people get older they develop much more health conditions because the body is becoming weaker, and the immune system is slowly falling apart. The fact that the fertility rate is not very big in the United States, and also that the life expectancy is going in an upward manner, means that the percentage of the older population will systematically grow, and because of that, more and more medical stuff will be needed to satisfy the demand for the medical services.

In which situation has the precautionary principle been most strictly applied? (3 points)

Cloud [144]

Answer: The last option.

Explanation: The precautionary principle would be considered to be most strictly applied where the precautionary measure is most disproportionate to the given risk. In all but the last option, there are either measures taken in response to concrete problems, or the precautionary measures are actually relaxed. In the last option, though, there are merely “fears” that antibiotics and growth hormones could cause harm (no experimental evidence), but the school board still takes the strict precautionary measure of mandating that schools only serve organic milk.

The regions bounded by the graphs of y=x2 and y=sin2x are shaded in the figure above. What is the sum of the areas of the shaded

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The sum of the area of the shaded regions = 0.248685

Explanation:

The sum of the area of the shaded region is given as follows;

The point of intersection of the graphs are;

y = x/2

y = sin²x

∴ At the intersection, x/2 = sin²x

sinx = √(x/2)

Using Microsoft Excel, or Wolfram Alpha, we have that the possible solutions to the above equation are;

x = 0, x ≈ 0.55 or x ≈ 1.85

The area under the line y = x/2, between the points x = 0 and x ≈ 0.55, A₁, is given as follows

1/2 × (0.55)×0.55/2 ≈ 0.075625

The area under the line y = sin²x, between the points x = 0 and x ≈ 0.55, A₂, is given using as follows;

$\int\limits {sin^n(x)} \, dx = -\dfrac{1}{n} sin^{n-1}(x) \cdot cos(x) + \dfrac{n-1}{n} \int\limits {sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx$

Therefore;

$A_2 = \int\limits^{0.55}_0 {sin^2x} \, dx = \dfrac{1}{2} \left [x -sin(x) \cdot cos(x) \right]_0 ^{0.55}$

∴ A₂ =1/2 × ((0.55 - sin(0.55)×cos(0.55)) - (0 - sin(0)×cos(0)) ≈ 0.0522

The shaded area, $A_{1 shaded}$ = A₁ - A₂ = 0.075625 - 0.0522 ≈ 0.023425

Similarly, we have, between points 0.55 and 1.85

A₃ = 1/2 × (1.85 - 0.55) × 1/2 × (1.85 - 0.55) + (1.85 - 0.55) × 0.55/2 = 0.78

For y = sin²x, we have;

$A_4 = \int\limits^{1.85}_{0.55} {sin^2x} \, dx = \dfrac{1}{2} \left [x -sin(x) \cdot cos(x) \right]_{0.55} ^{1.85} \approx 1.00526$

The shaded area, $A_{2 shaded}$ = A₄ - A₃ = 1.00526 - 0.78 ≈ 0.22526

The sum of the area of the shaded regions, ∑A = $A_{1 shaded}$ + $A_{2 shaded}$

∴ A = 0.023425 + 0.22526 = 0.248685

The sum of the area of the shaded regions, ∑A = 0.248685
