In 1997 = 17697

Because, each year, the number of employees is expected to decrease by 2.2%, find 2.2% of 17697 and subtract from the number.

2.2/100 x 17697 = 38933.4/100 = 389.334

^that was calculating 2.2% of 17697. Now we subtract:

17697.000
- 389.334
17307.666 =

Round to the nearest whole number = 17308

Answer: in 1998, the expected number of workers is 17308

Derivative Notation

Derivative of a constant is 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<u /> $\displaystyle y = \sqrt{x - 3}$ <u />

<u /> $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}$ <u />

<u />

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

[Function] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y = (x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Chain Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{d}{dx}[(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}] \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[x - 3]$
Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} \cdot (1 \cdot x^{1 - 1} - 0)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 1$
Multiply: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$

<u>Step 3: Solve</u>

<em>Find coordinates</em>

<em />

<em>x-coordinate</em>

Substitute in <em>y'</em> [Derivative]: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 2 on both sides: $\displaystyle 1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply √(x - 3) on both sides: $\displaystyle \sqrt{x - 3} = 1$
[Equality Property] Square both sides: $\displaystyle x - 3 = 1$
[Addition Property of Equality] Add 3 on both sides: $\displaystyle x = 4$

<em>y-coordinate</em>

Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function]: $\displaystyle y = \sqrt{4 - 3}$
[√Radical] Subtract: $\displaystyle y = \sqrt{1}$
[√Radical] Evaluate: $\displaystyle y = 1$

∴ Coordinates of Point N is (4, 1).

It takes Bruce 12 h to complete his training. It takes Oliver approximately 2 days, 2 h, and 15 min to complete

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Oliver completed his training work in 50.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 day= 24 hours

1 hour=60 minutes

we have

2 days, 2 h, and 15 min

<u><em>Convert days to hours</em></u>

2 days=2(24)=48 hours

<u><em>Convert minutes to hour</em></u>

15 min=15(1/60)=1/4=0.25 h

so

2 days, 2 h, and 15 min=(48)+(2)+(0.25)=50.25 h

therefore

Oliver completed his training work in 50.25 hours
