If a, b and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle then

if a ≤ b ≤ c, then a + b > c.

1. a ≤ 3 ≤ 8 then a + 3 > 8 → a > 8 - 3 → a > 5 FALSE, because a ≤ 3.

2. 3 ≤ a ≤ 8 then 3 + a > 8 → a > 5 therefore 5 < a ≤ 8

3. 3 ≤ 8 ≤ a then 3 + 8 > a → 11 > a → a < 11 therefore 8 ≤ a < 11.

<h3>Answer: 5 < a < 11 → S = (5, 11)</h3>

Answer:

A) $P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}$

B) 89.157 million tons.

C) In year 2017.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that world poultry production was 77.2 million tons in the year 2004 and increasing at a continuous rate of 1.6% per year.

A). We know that a continuous growth function is in form $y=a\cdot e^{kx}$ , where,

a = Initial value,

k = Growth rate in decimal form.

$1.6\%=\frac{1.6}{100}=0.016$

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

$P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}$

Therefore, our required function would be $P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}$ , where, P represents world poultry production, in million tons, as a function of the number of years, t, since 2004.

B) To find the world poultry production in the year 2013, we will substitute $t=2013-2004=9$ in above formula as:
