The population, P(t), of China, in billions, can be approximated by1 P(t)=1.394(1.006)t, where t is the number of years since th

e start of 2014. According to this model, how fast was the population growing at the start of 2014 and at the start of 2015? Give your answers in millions of people per year rounded to 2 decimal places. At the start of 2014, the population was growing at million people per year. At the start of 2015, the population was growing at million people per year.

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 P(t)=1.394(1.006)^t

To find the derivative you need to:

\frac{d}{dt}\left(1.394\cdot \:1.006^t\right)=\\\\\mathrm{Take\:the\:constant\:out}:\quad \left(a\cdot f\right)'=a\cdot f\:'\\\\1.394\frac{d}{dt}\left(1.006^t\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:derivative\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(a^x\right)=a^x\ln \left(a\right)\\\\1.394\cdot \:1.006^t\ln \left(1.006\right)\\\\\frac{d}{dt}\left(1.394\cdot \:1.006^t\right)=(1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^t

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

P(t)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^t\\P(0)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^0\\P(0)' = 0.00833901 \:Billion/year

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

P(t)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^t\\P(1)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^1\\P(1)' = 0.00838904 \:Billion/year

To convert billion to million you multiple by 1000

P(0)' = 0.00833901 \:Billion/year \cdot 1000 = 8.34 \:Million/year \\P(1)' = 0.00838904 \:Billion/year \cdot 1000 = 8.39 \:Million/year

How does a digit in the ten thousand place compare to a digit in the thousands place
Butoxors [25]
A digit in the ten thousand place has a value of 10,000 times the value of the mere digit. While a digit in the thousands place has a value 1,000 times the value of the digit. So to compare you can do 10,000 / 1,000 = 10, which means that<span> a digit in the ten thousand place values ten times what the same digit values is it is the thousand place. </span>

Organize the following polynomial expressions from least to greatest based on their degree: x 2xyz 3x y z 2x3y y2x − 3x 4 9x3yz
bazaltina [42]

Using polynomial concepts, it is found that the sorting of the polynomial expressions from least to greatest based on their degree is given by: I, III, II, IV.

<h3>What is the degree of a polynomial?</h3>

The degree of a polynomial is given by it's largest exponent.

In this problem, the <em>polynomials </em>are given by:

  • I: x + 2xyz.
  • II: 9x³y².
  • III: 18x² + 5ab - 6y
  • IV: 4x^4 + 3x^2 - x - 4

Hence, the respective degrees are: 1, 3, 2, 4, and the ordering from least to greatest is: I, III, II, IV.

Sam traveled 1/4 of a mile. Jenna traveled 1/3 of a mile further than Sam. How far did Jenna travel
Vlad [161]

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

How gar Jenna travelled = 1/3 + 1/4

\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4}

\frac{4 + 3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}
