You could attempt doing a log mean.


If your population was growing linearly, you could simply do:

\frac{(Y_2+Y_1)}{(2)}=Present

Y2=6.25million, Y1=4million


This would work since you are right in the middle of a straight line.


However, since your population is growing exponentially, you would take a log mean, which would look like this:

\frac{(Y_2-Y_1)}{ln(Y_2/Y_1)}


This will give you the middle number with respect to an exponential curve. This would only work because the time difference is 5 years in both directions, so if the time difference was not equal in both directions, you'd have to develop an exponential equation that would fit your data.

Polynomial factoring: <br> 2x^4 + x^2- 6
pickupchik [31]

Answer: (x^2+2)(2x^2-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^4 + x^2- 6

= 2x^4+4x^2-3x^2-6

= 2x^2(x^2+2)-3(x^2+2)

= (x^2+2)(2x^2-3)

You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla
nadezda [96]

Answer:

You should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 50 quarts of Continental Mocha.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a system of equations.

The largest profit is going to earned when all the eggs and cups of cream in stock are used.

I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.

The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 350 eggs in stock, so:

2x + y = 350

Each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream, as does each quart of Continental Mocha. There are 600 cups of cream in stock.

So:

3x + 3y = 600 Simplifying by 3.

x + y = 200

We have the following system

1)2x + y = 350

2)x + y = 200

I am going to multiply 2) by (-1) and then add with 1), so i can eliminate y

1)2x + y = 350

2)-x - y = -200

2x - x + y - y = 350 - 200

x = 150

x + y = 200

y = 200 - 150 = 50

You should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 50 quarts of Continental Mocha.
