From 1960 to 2010, a certain money stock measure was growing at the rate of approximately 43e(1/2)x billion dollars per decade,

natulia [17]

Answer:

1222 billion dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total increase from 1960 to 2010, we need to find the growth of each decade and sum them all:

In the period 1960-1970, we have x = 1, and the growth is:

$y(1) = 43e(1/2) = 70.895$

In the period 1970-1980, we have x = 2, and the growth is:

$y(2) = 43e(2/2) = 116.8861$

The growth in the following 3 periods are:

$y(3) = 43e(3/2) =192.7126$

$y(4) = 43e(4/2) = 317.7294$

$y(5) = 43e(5/2) =523.8472$

So the total growth in the period 1960 - 2010 is:

$Total = y(1) + y(2) + y(3) + y(4) + y(5)$

$Total = 70.895 + 116.8861+192.726+317.7294+523.8472$

$Total = 1222.08\ billion\ dollars$

Rounding to the nearest billion dollars, we have a total of 1222 billion dollars.

The base of the right prism is a rhombus with the side 7 cm. The altitude of the prism is h=13 cm. Find the lateral area of the

Art [367]

Answer:The lateral area is $364\ cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of the right prism is equal to

$LA=Ph$

where

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the prism

Find the perimeter of the base P

$P=4(7)=28\ cm$ ----> the rhombus has four equal sides

$h=13\ cm$

substitute

$LA=28(13)=364\ cm^{2}$

A fisherman uses a spring scale to weigh a tilapia fish. He records the fish weight as a kilograms and notices that the spring s

belka [17]

Answer:

k = $\frac{980a}{b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Fisherman noticed a stretch in the spring = 'b' centimetres

Weight of the fish = a kilograms

If force applied on a spring scale makes a stretch in the spring then Hook's law for the force applied is,

F = kΔx

Where k = spring constant

Δx = stretch in the spring

F = weight applied

F = mg

Here 'm' = mass of the fish

g = gravitational constant

F = a(9.8)

= 9.8a

Δx = b centimetres = 0.01b meters

Therefore, 9.8a = k(0.01b)

k = $\frac{9.8a}{0.01b}$

k = $\frac{980a}{b}$

Therefore, spring constant of the spring will be determined by the expression, k = $\frac{980a}{b}$

Prove that if r is any rational number, then 3r2 − 2r + 4 is rational. The following properties may be used in your proof. Prope

ziro4ka [17]

Given:

Expression is

$3r^2-2r+4$

To prove:

If r is any rational number, then $3r^2-2r+4$ is rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Property 1: Every integer is a rational number. It is Theorem 4.3.1.

Property 2: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Theorem 4.3.2.

Property 3: The product of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Exercise 15 in Section 4.3.

Let r be any rational number.

We have,

$3r^2-2r+4$

It can be written as

$3(r\times r)-2r+4$

Now,

3, -2 and 4 are rational numbers by property 1.

$r^2=r\times r$ is rational by Property 3.

$3r^2\text{ and }-2r$ are rational by Property 3.

$3r^2+(-2r)+4$ is rational by property 2.

So, $3r^2-2r+4$ is rational.

Hence proved.
