F(x) is continuous for all x.
Pick a point and show that f(x) is either negative or positive. Pick another point and show that f(x) is negative, if positive, or positive, if negative.
At x = 30, f(30) - 1000 = 900 + 10sin(30) - 1000 ≤ 0
Now, show at another point f(x) - 1000 is positive, and hence, there would be root between 30 and such point.
Let's pick 40.
At x = 40, f(40) - 1000 = 1600 + 10sin(40) - 1000 ≥ 0
Since f(x) - 1000 is continuous, there lies a root between 30 and 40, and hence, 30 ≤ c ≤ 40
Answer:
78 mg
Step-by-step explanation:
370 mg - 110 mg = 260 mg (amount decayed in the 8 total years)
260 mg ÷ 8 years = 32.5 mg decayed per year
32.5 × 9 years (years between 2008 and 2017) = 292.5 mg
370 mg - 292.5 mg = 77.5 mg, rounded to 78 mg
The answer is 300 or 3*10^2
