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})

Write an explicit equation for the arithmetic sequence<br> 3,7,11,15,19
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Arithmetic Sequence:  

d=4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence since there is a common difference between each term. In this case, adding  4 o the previous term in the sequence gives the next term. In other words, aₙ=a₁+d(n-1)

5. (9r 3 + 5r 2 + 11r) + (-2r 3 + 9r - 8r 2)
ad-work [718]

Answer:

7r³ - 3r² + 20r

Step-by-step explanation:

(9r³ + 5r² + 11r) + (-2r³ + 9r - 8r²)

You can get rid of the parentheses since there is nothing to distribute.

9r³ + 5r² + 11r - 2r³ + 9r - 8r²

Combine like factors.

7r³ - 3r² + 20r

If the following system of equations was written as a matrix equation in the form AX = C, and matrix A was expressed in the form
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: a-b+c+d =4


Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equation is

2x+8y=7\\4x-2y=9

from this we have the following matrices

A_1 =\begin{bmatrix}\\2 &8 \\ \\4&2 \\\end{bmatrix}\ ,X=\begin{bmatrix}\\x\\ \\y\\\end{bmatrix}\text{and}\ C=\begin{bmatrix}\\7\\ \\9\\\end{bmatrix}

the given matrix A =\begin{bmatrix}\\a &c \\ \\b &d \\\end{bmatrix}

On comparing Matrix  A_1 with Matrix A

\begin{bmatrix}\\a &c \\ \\b &d \\\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\\2&8 \\ \\4 &-2 \\\end{bmatrix}

we have the following values

a=2 ,b=4,c=8,d=-2

Thus a-b+c+d =2-4+8+(-2)=4

How do you find the area of a regular polygon?
weqwewe [10]
Each of the triangles are equal in base length, height, and area. Remember the formula for the area of a triangle. The area of any triangle is 1/2 times the length of the base (which, in the polygon, is the length of a side) multiplied by the height (which is the same as the apothem in regular polygon)
