A small rural town has experienced a population decrease at a rate of 25 people every 5 years since 1970. If the population of t

he town in 1970 was 250, which of the following equations represents the town’s population as a function of time? (Assume 1970 is represented by x = 0, 1971 is represented by x = 1, and so on).
A. y = –5x + 250
B. y = –25x + 250
C. –5x + y = 250
D. –x – 25y = 250

<span>Here y is the population and x is the year since 1970.
 
The "population decreases at the rate of 25 people every 5 years"

slope of a line = difference in y / difference in x (or rise / run) = -25 / 5

slope m = -5

when x = 0 (that is the year 1970), the population is 250.
x = 0 represents the y-intercept

Answer is C. -5x+y=250</span>

\displaystyle\int\frac{x^2+x-3}{(x^3+x^2-4x-4)^2}\,\mathrm dx

Notice that x^3+x^2-4x-4=x^2(x+1)-4(x+1)=(x-2)(x+2)(x+1). Decompose the integrand into partial fractions:

\dfrac{x^2+x-3}{(x-2)^2(x+2)^2(x+1)^2}
=\dfrac1{3(x+1)}-\dfrac{11}{32(x+2)}-\dfrac1{3(x+1)^2}-\dfrac1{16(x+2)^2}+\dfrac1{96(x-2)}+\dfrac1{48(x-2)^2}

Integrating term-by-term, you get

\displaystyle\int\frac{x^2+x-3}{(x^3+x^2-4x-4)^2}\,\mathrm dx
=-\dfrac1{48(x-2)}+\dfrac1{3(x+1)}+\dfrac1{16(x+2)}+\dfrac1{96}\ln|x-2|+\dfrac13\ln|x+1|-\dfrac{11}{32}\ln|x+2|+C

Bess [88]

Answer:

$236,005.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Accesed value × property rate =annual property tax

$275,000×85.82%

275000× 85.82/100

275000×0.8582

= $ 236005.00

The annual property tax is $ 236005.00

A construction company has an expenditure rate of E'(x)=e^(0.17 x) dollars per day on a particular paving job and an income rate
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a) optimum number of days for the job to last = 24 days

b) Total income for the optimum number of days = $2434.83

c) Total expenditures for the optimum number of days = $341.77

d) Maximum profit for the job = $2093.06

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  Expenditure rate ,E'(x) = e^{0.17x}

Income rate I'(x) = 116.2-e^{0.17x}

The job lasts for many days where the income is more than expenditure and job ends when both are equal.

The optimum number of days is the value of x where I'(x) = E'(x)

116.2-e^{0.17x} =e^{0.17x}\\116.2=2e^{0.17x}\\58.1=e^{0.17x}\\ {0.17x} = ln(58.1)

x = ln(58.1)/0.17\\x = 23.9

The optimum number of days for the job to last is 24 days

b) I'(x) = 116.2-e^{0.17x}

Integrating both sides in the equation above:

I(x) = 116.2x-(e^{0.17x}/0.17)

Substituting  x = ln(58.1)/0.17 into the equation above , The income for the optimum number of days becomes:

I(x) = 116.2\times (ln(58.1)/0.17)-(e^{0.17(ln(58.1)/0.17)}/0.17)I(x) = (116.2\times (ln(58.1)/0.17))-(58.1)/0.17)I(x)=2776.60 -341.76I(x) =2434.83

c)

E'(x) = e^{0.17x}

Integrating the equation above:

E(x) = (1/0.17)e^{0.17x}

Substituting x = ln(58.1)/0.17 into the above equation, expenditure for the optimum number of days is;

E(x) =1/(0.17)e^{0.17(ln(58.1)/0.17)} \\E(x) =58.1/0.17\\E(x)=341.77

d) Maximum profit is 2434.83- 341.77=2093.06
