Answer:

The average annual growth rate of a certain country's population for 1950, 1988, and 2010 are 2.398, 0.9985 and 0.2236 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$Y=-0.0000084x^3+0.00211x^2-0.205x+8.423$

Where Y is the annual growth rate of a certain country's population and x is the number of years after 1900.

Difference between 1950 and 1900 is 50.

Put x=50 in the given equation.

$Y=-0.0000084(50)^3+0.00211(50)^2-0.205(50)+8.423$

$Y=2.398$

Therefore the estimated average annual growth rate of the country's population for 1950 is 2.398.

Difference between 1988 and 1900 is 88.

Put x=88 in the given equation.

$Y=-0.0000084(88)^3+0.00211(88)^2-0.205(88)+8.423$

$Y=0.9984752\approx 0.9985$

Therefore the estimated average annual growth rate of the country's population for 1988 is 0.9985.

Difference between 2010 and 1900 is 110.

Put x=110 in the given equation.

$Y=-0.0000084(110)^3+0.00211(110)^2-0.205(110)+8.423$

$Y=0.2236$

Therefore the estimated average annual growth rate of the country's population for 2010 is 0.2236.

Which of the following circumstances would likely make completing the square th

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The leading coefficient is 1 and the linear term coefficient is an even number

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading coefficient must be one for the application of completing square method. If the completing square is not one than we must apply other methods like Ac method, quadratic formula to solve the equation. To solve the equation with completing square the numerical value must be on other side of the equation. In this method we multiply linear term’s coefficient with one-half and square it therefore, completing square is suitable method for the equation having leading coefficient is 1 and linear coefficient is even.

Find the volume of the wedge with vertices at points (0,0,0), (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1) by integrating the area of cross-section

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

V = 1/6 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the concept of integrals for volume calculation:

$V = \int\limits^b_a {S(x)} \, dx$ (1)

V = volume of the solid bounded by x = a and x = b

S(x) = cross section area of the solid, perpendicular to the x axis

From the figure we have that S is the area of a triangle that has base Z and height Y

Area of the triangle = $S(x)=\frac{y(x)*z(x)}{2}$ (2)

Calculation of y(x) and z(x)

We apply the equation of the point-slope line (plane xy):

Slope = $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ (3)

Equation of the line = $y - y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$ (4)

Replacing the points (1,0) and (0,1) in (3):

$m=\frac{1-0}{0-1} =-1$

Replacing the point (1,0) and m = -1 in (4):

$y-0=(-1)(x-1)$

y(x) = -x + 1 (Line A-B) (5)

We apply the equation of the point-slope line (plane xz):

Slope = $m = \frac{z_{2} - z_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ (6)

Equation of the line = $z - z_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$ (7)

Replacing the points (1,0) and (0,1) in (6):

$m=\frac{1-0}{0-1} =-1$

Replacing the point (1,0) and m = -1 in (7):

$z-0=(-1)(x-1)$

z(x) = -x + 1 (Line A-C) (8)

Replacing (5) and (8) in (2)

$S(x) = \frac{(-x + 1) * (-x + 1)}{2} =\frac{(-x + 1)^{2} }{2}$ (9)

Replacing (9) in (1) and knowing that a = 0 and b = 1:

$V = \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{(-x + 1)^{2} }{2}} \, dx = \int\limits^1_0 {\frac{x^{2}-2x+1 }{2}} \, dx$

$V =\frac{1}{2} (\frac{x^{3} }{3} -2\frac{x^{2} }{2} +x)$ evaluated from x=0 to x=1

$V= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{3} -1 +1) = \frac{1}{6}$
