Let t=number of years since 1991.
Then
P(t)=147 e^(kt) ... in millions
P(0)=147 e^(0)=147
P(7)=147 e^(7k)=153
e^(7k)=(153/147)
take ln both sides
ln(e^(7k))=ln(153/147)
7k=0.0400 => k=0.005715

Year 2017=>t=2017-1991=26
P(26)=147e^(26*.005715)=170.55
Answer: in 2017, the projected population is 170.55 millions.

A rectangle sand box has a length of 5 and 1/3 feet and a width of 3 and 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle = ⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangular sand box = $5\frac{1}{3}\ feet$

Width of the box = $3\frac{3}{4}\ feet$

Perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l+w)$

where $l$ represents length of rectangle and $w$ represents width of the rectangle.

Substituting values given for length and width.

Perimeter of sand box = $2(5\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{3}{4})\ feet$

Simplifying by adding fractions:

⇒ $2(5+3+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})\ feet$ (Adding whole numbers and fractions separately)

⇒ $2(8+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

Whole number 8 can be written as $\frac{8}{1}$

⇒ $2(\frac{8}{1}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒ $2(\frac{8\times 12}{1\times 12}+\frac{1\times 4}{3\times 4}+\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{96}{12}+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{9}{12})$ feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒ $2(\frac{96+4+9}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{109}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2\times \frac{109}{12}$ feet

⇒ $\frac{218}{12}$ feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ $18\frac{2}{12}$ feet

Simplifying fractions to simplest form.

⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet

Perimeter =⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet (Answer)

Find all the zeros of <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3D%20%20%7B6x%7D%5E%7B4%7D%20%20%20-%20%20%7B7x%7D%5E%7B

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

{-1, 1/2, 2/3, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

I find a graphing calculator to be a most useful tool for problems like this. (See attached.)

_____

First of all, observe that the constant is -2, so 0 is not a zero.

It is often useful to look at the sum of coefficients. Here, that is 0, indicating 1 is a zero.

You can divide that out, or simply continue by looking at the sum of coefficients with odd-degree terms negated. Then you have 6 +7 -4 -7 -2 = 0, indicating -1 is also a zero.

__

At this point, it can be useful to divide out the factors you know. The synthetic division tableaus attached show that work. First is division by (x+1), then by (x -1).

The result of doing that is the quadratic ...

6x^2 -7x +2 = 0

This can be factored ...

(6x^2 -3x) -(4x -2) = 0 . . . . . . rewrite -7x and group term pairs

3x(2x -1) -2(2x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . factor each pair

(3x -2)(2x -1) = 0 . . . . . . the factorization of the remaining quadratic

The zeros of this are the values of x that make the factors zero: 2/3 and 1/2.

The zeros of the given function f(x) are x ∈ {-1, 1/2, 2/3, 1}.

The measure of angle θ is 7pi/4 . The measure of its reference angle is *Blank* °, and tan θ is *blank*

sukhopar [10]

Since the measure of angle $\Theta$ is $\frac{7\Pi }{4}$

The measure of its reference angle = $\frac{7\times 180^{\circ}}{4}$

= $=315^{\circ}$

Now we have to compute the value of $\tan \Theta$

$\tan \Theta = \tan \frac{7\Pi }{4}$

$= \tan (2\Pi -\frac{\Pi }{4})$

The value of ( $(2\Pi -\frac{\Pi }{4})$ ) lies in the fourth quadrant. In fourth quadrant, the value of tan is always negative.

So, $\tan (2\Pi -\frac{\Pi }{4})$

$= -\tan (\frac{\Pi }{4})$

= -1.
