Answer:

<h2>no real solution</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3x^2-4x-4=0\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\3x^2+4x+4=0\\\\\text{use the quadratic formula:}\\\\\text{for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\text{if}\ b^2-4ac0,\ \text{then an equation has two solutions:}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\text{We have}\ a=3,\ b=4,\ c=4.\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\b^2-4ac=4^2-4(3)(4)=16-48=-32$

A country's population in 1991 was 114 million. In 1997 it was 120 million. Estimate the population in 2014 using exponential gr

Rufina [12.5K]

The answer is 138 million.

Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.

We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time

Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:
$120 000 000 = 114 000 000 * e ^{n*6} \\ e ^{n*6} =120 000 000 /114000000 \\ e ^{n*6} =1.05 \\$
Logarithm both sides of the equation:
$ln(e ^{n*6})=ln(1.05) \\ n*6*ln(e) = ln(1.05) \\ 6n=ln(1.05) \\ n = \frac{ln(1.05)}{6} \\ n = \frac{0.05}{6} \\ n = 0.0083$

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17
$A = 120 000 000 * e ^{0.0083*17} \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * e^{0.1411} \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * 1.15 \\ 
A = 138 000 000
$
Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014

Each face of a small cube has a surface area of 0.25 square meters. A larger cube has edges that are six times as long as the ed

bezimeni [28]

First, you need to find the length of the smaller cubes side. To do this you would need to find the square root of 0.25. then you find the volume with the new found side length of the smaller cube by cubing the new side length and once you have your volume of smaller cube right it down.
Now you need to find the big cube volume by cubing its side length. Once you have found both of these volumes you subtract the smaller cube's volume from the bigger cube's volume to get the difference in size. Hope this helps

£45 600 is more than £43 000 and less than £150 000. According to the third • point, the tax will be 40%.
Also, according to the first • point, the first £11 000 will not be taxed. So, only £34 600 will actually be taxed.
To finally get the answer, Multiply £ 34 600 by the rate of 40%, and the result is £ 13 840.
