Answer


B) 2041


Explanation:

The rate of growth per year is 1.2% which means after first year the population will be


                   7+ 7×(1.2/100)


After second year


                   7×1.012 +7×1.012 (1.2/100)


                  =7×1.012  (1+1.2/100)


                   =7×1.012  (1.012)


                   =7×1.012  ×1.012  


Similarly, after third year it will be as:


                    =7×1.012  ×1.012 ×1.012    

So our after x year the growth will be


                       7 (1.012)^x  

We need to find, when the value will be 10 billion so our equation will be as:


                       10=7×(1.012)^x

                We can solve it easily here.  

                       10/7= (1.012)^x

                Take log on both sides


                   ㏒  10/7 = ㏒(1.012^x)


                   ㏒  10/7 = ㏒(1.012^x)


                   ㏒  10/7  ÷㏒(1.012) = x

                    x =29.90 ≈ 30


Conclusion:


So it will take 30 years to take the world population to reach 10 billion if the rate of growth is 1.2%. Thus 2011 + 30 = 2041 is the correct answer.

I can’t figure this problem out
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Alright so the way to do this is to use properties of integrals to make our life easier.

So we have:

\int\limits^4_1 {(3f(x)+2)} \, dx

So lets break this up into two different integrals that represent the same area.

\int\limits^4_0 {f(x)} \, dx - \int\limits^1_0 {f(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^4_1 {f(x)} \, dx

Lets think about what is going on up there. The integral from four to zero gives us the area under the curve of f(x) from four to zero. If we subtract this from the integral from one to zero (the area under f from one to zero) we are left with the area under f from four to one! Hence:

\int\limits^4_1 {f(x)} \, dx

But since we have these values we can say that:

-3 - 2 = -5

Which means that \int\limits^4_1 {f(x)} \, dx = -5

So now we can evaluate \int\limits^4_1 {(3f(x)+2)} \, dx

Lets first break up our integrand into two integrals

\int\limits^4_1 {(3f(x)+2)} \, dx = 3\int\limits^4_1{f(x)} \, dx + 2\int\limits^4_1 {} \, dx

Now we can evaluate this:

We know that \int\limits^4_1 {f(x)} \, dx = -5

So:

3(-5)+2[x] where x is evaluated at 4 to 1 so

-15 + 2(3)

So we are left with -15 + 6 = -9

Bakit nagalit ang mga Tsino sa simula ng pamumuno ng mga Manchu?
matrenka [14]
Ang emperyo ng Tsina ay sinakop ng halos 120,000 Manchus. ... Noong 1644, sinamantala ng Manchus ang paghihimagsik at kaguluhan sa emperyo ng Tsina at lumipat sa timog. Bumubuo ng isang alyansa sa isang loyalistang heneral ng Ming, pumasok sila sa Beijing noong Hunyo at halos agad na kumuha ng kapangyarihan para sa kanilang sarili.

Ang Manchu Conquest ng Tsina ay na-spark noong Abril 1618 nang magpalabas ng proklamasyon ang pinuno ng tribong Jurchen na si Nurhaci mula sa rehiyon ng Manchurian na naglilista ng pitong mga hinaing laban sa naghaharing dinastiyang Ming.
