Answer:
At the start of 2014, the population was growing at 8.34 million people per year.
At the start of 2015, the population was growing at 8.39 million people per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how fast was the population growing at the start of 2014 and at the start of 2015 we need to take the derivative of the function with respect to t.
The derivative shows by how much the function (the population, in this case) is changing when the variable you're deriving with respect to (time) increases one unit (one year).
We know that the population, P(t), of China, in billions, can be approximated by 
To find the derivative you need to:

To find the population growing at the start of 2014 we say t = 0

To find the population growing at the start of 2015 we say t = 1

To convert billion to million you multiple by 1000

Answer:
{24, 18, 12, 6, 0} is the range of the above function
Step-by-step explanation:
solution:
let, x= -4
f(-2) = 12-3*(-2)
= 12+12
=24
let,x= -2
f(-2) = 12-3*(-2)
=12+6
18
let,x =0
f(0)= 12-3*0
=12-0
=12
let,x=2
f(2) = 12-3*2
=12-6
=6
let,x=4
f(4) = 12-3*4
=12-12
=0
Troy has a basis of $39 per share
total value of shares is $3900
Step-by-step explanation:
On July 1, the date of the gift, the stock was selling for $39 per share.
Troy's basis in the stock = current value of shares
No need to consider the base rate which is in 15 years ago
The current rate of 100 shares = $39 × 100 = $3900
Troy has a basis of $39 per share
total value of shares is $3900
First step: Create a common denominator with 1/3
1/3 x 5/5 = 5/15
Second step: Subtract
14/15
-5/15
_____
a: 9/15
