For the composite function g(f(x)), the function f(x) goes first in terms of evaluation. This is the inner most function. You would read it from right to left in terms of determining the order of evaluation.
Answer:
13, 14, 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Three consecutive integers have a sum of 42 means which 3 numbers in a row add up to 42
We can call the lowest integer x,
the next integer x+1 (since our integers need to be even)
the third integer x+2
algebraic equation: 42 = x + (x+1) + (x+2).
Combine like terms on the right side,
42 = 3x + 3
Subtract 3 from each side
39 = 3x
Divide each side by 3
x=13, which is our lowest integer.
The next two integers we find with 13 + 1 =.14 and 13 + 2 = 15
13 + 14 + 15 = 42.
It will be understood that population 6,000 billion (6*10^12) in 2017.
If this is not the case, follow the logic and the final number can be adjusted easily.
Mathematical answer:
In 2017: 6,000 billion=6000*10^9 =6*10^12
rate of increase = 1.3% per year (assumed constant)
final year = 2100
Population estimate in 2100
=6*10^12*(1.013^(2100-2017))
=6*10^12*(1.013^(83)
=6*10^12*(2.921352509198383)
=17.528*10^12
=17,528 billion.
