n many population growth problems, there is an upper limit beyond which the population cannot grow. Many scientists agree that t

he earth will not support a population of more than 16 billion. There were 2 billion people on earth at the start of 1925 and 4 billion at the beginning of 1975. If yy is the population, measured in billions, tt years after 1925, an appropriate model is the differential equation

Answer:

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K}) = 0.017P(1 - \frac{P}{16})

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic function of population growth, that is, the solution of the differential equation is as follows:

P(t) = \frac{KP_{0}e^{rt}}{K + P_{0}(e^{rt} - 1)}

We use this equation to find the value of r.

In this problem, we have that:

K = 16, P_{0} = 2, P(50) = 4

So we find the value of r.

P(t) = \frac{KP_{0}e^{rt}}{K + P_{0}(e^{rt} - 1)}

4 = \frac{16*2e^{50r}}{16 + 2*(e^{50r} - 1)}

4 = \frac{32e^{50r}}{14 + 2e^{50r}}

56 + 8e^{50r} = 32e^{50r}}

24e^{50r} = 56

e^{50r} = 2.33

Applying ln to both sides of the equality

50r = 0.8459

r = 0.017

So

The differential equation is

\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K}) = 0.017P(1 - \frac{P}{16})

To find the surface area of the pyramid, in square inches, Vikram wrote (33.2) (34.2) + 4 (one-half (34.2) (28.4)). What error d
madam [21]

Answer:

B. He used the wrong expression to represent the area of the base of the pyramid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for pyramid

Area = (33.2)(34.2) + 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.4 * 28.4

Required

Vikram's error

The surface area of a square pyramid is:

Area = Base\ Area + 4 * Area \triangle

Where

Base\ Area = Length * Length

Base\ Area = 34.2 * 34.2

4 * Area \triangle = 4 * \frac{1}{2} * Base * Height

4 * Area \triangle = 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.2 * 28.4

So:

Area = Base\ Area + 4 * Area \triangle

Area = 34.2 * 34.2 + 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.2 * 28.4

By comparing the calculated expression with

Area = (33.2)(34.2) + 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 34.4 * 28.4

Option (b) is correct
