Scilla [17]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Hosea's doctor has recommended that his daily diet should include 5 vegetables, 5 fruits, and 4 whole grains.

At the grocery store, Hosea has a choice of 19 vegetables, 7 fruits, and 9 whole grains.

Since he does not like to eat 2 servings of the same thing in 1 day the choices of vegetables, fruits and grains should be without repitition.

so combination can be used

No of ways can he get his daily requirements if he doesn't like to eat 2 servings of the same thing in 1 day

= $5C1*5C1*4C1\\= 100$

In 2000 the population of a country reached 1 billion, and in 2025 it is projected to be 1.2 billion. (a) Find values for C an

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of C is 1.

(b) In 2010, the population would be 1.07555 billions.

(c) In 2047, the population would be 1.4 billions.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Here, the given function that shows the population(in billions) of the country in year x,

$P(x)=Ca^{x-2000}$

So, the population in 2000,

$P(2000)=Ca^{2000-2000}$

$=Ca^{0}$

$=C$

According to the question,

$P(2000)=1$

$\implies C=1$

(b) Similarly,

The population in 2025,

$P(2025)=Ca^{2025-2000}$

$=Ca^{25}$

$=a^{25}$ (∵ C = 1)

Again according to the question,

$P(2025)=1.2$

$a^{25}=1.2$

Taking ln both sides,

$\ln a^{25}=\ln 1.2$

$25\ln a = \ln 1.2$

$\ln a = \frac{\ln 1.2}{25}\approx 0.00729$

$a=e^{0.00729}=1.00731$

Thus, the function that shows the population in year x,

$P(x)=(1.00731)^{x-2000}$ ...... (1)

The population in 2010,

$P(2010)=(1.00731)^{2010-2000}=(1.00731)^{10}=1.07555$

Hence, the population in 2010 would be 1.07555 billions.

(c) If population P(x) = 1.4 billion,

Then, from equation (1),

$1.4=(1.00731)^{x-2000}$

$\ln 1.4=(x-2000)\ln 1.00731$

$0.33647 = (x-2000)0.00728$

$0.33647 = 0.00728x-14.56682$

$0.33647 + 14.56682 = 0.00728x$

$14.90329 = 0.00728x$

$\implies x=\frac{14.90329}{0.00728}\approx 2047$

Therefore, the country's population might reach 1.4 billion in 2047.

Mark all true statements. Group of answer choices

laiz [17]

Answer:

True

False

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The first statement is the basis for Euclid's algorithm to compute the gcd of two nonnegative integers a,b. You can prove this as follows.

Let G=gcd(a,b). Since r=a-bq and G divides a and G divides b, then G divides r. Now, G divides a and G divides r, hence G divides gcd(b,r).

On the other hand, since a=bq+r, and gcd(b,r) divides b and r, then gcd(b,r) divides a. Therefore gcd(b,r) divides a and b, which implies that gcd(b,r) divides G.

x divides y and y divides x implies that |x|=|y|. The GCD's are nonnegative, therefore G=gcd(b,r).

b) It is false. In general, to test for primality of N, you have to check that all primes smaller than N do not divide N. In this case, we have to check for 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,...

101 is prime, but this may be false in general. For example, consider N=13*11=143. N is not prime, and n is not divisible by 2,3,5, or 7.
