The area of forest after 5 years is 2846.93 square kilometer

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A certain forest covers an area of 4500 square kilometer

Suppose that each year this area decreases by 8.75%

To find: Area after 5 years

<em><u>The decrease function is given as:</u></em>

$y = A(1-r)^t$

Where,

y is the value after t years

A = initial amount

r = decreasing rate in decimal

t is the number of years

Here in this sum,

A = 4500

t = 5 years

$r = 8.75 \% = \frac{8.75}{100} = 0.0875$

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, </u></em>

$\begin{aligned}&y=4500(1-0.0875)^{5}\\\\&y=4500(0.9125)^{5}\\\\&y=4500 \times 0.632651\\\\&y=2846.93\end{aligned}$

Thus the area of forest after 5 years is 2846.93 square kilometer

10% of 65 pls help and explain the steps to get total answer

sergij07 [2.7K]

10% of 65
Of means multiply
=0.1 x 65
=6.5

Or you can use another way which is (part/whole) *(percent/100)

Whole=65
Percent=10
And part(part of 65)=unknown

(X/65)* (10/100)
Cross multiply
x= 6.5

So 10% of 65 is 6.5

f(x) = 3 cos(x) 0 ≤ x ≤ 3π/4 evaluate the Riemann sum with n = 6, taking the sample points to be left endpoints. (Round your ans

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$\int_{0}^{\frac{3 \pi}{4}}3 \cos{\left(x \right)}\ dx\approx 3.099558$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the Riemann sum for $\int_{0}^{\frac{3 \pi}{4}}3 \cos{\left(x \right)}\ dx$ with n = 6, using left endpoints.

The Left Riemann Sum uses the left endpoints of a sub-interval:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\approx\Delta{x}\left(f(x_0)+f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+...+f(x_{n-2})+f(x_{n-1})\right)$

where $\Delta{x}=\frac{b-a}{n}$ .

Step 1: Find $\Delta{x}$

We have that $a=0, b=\frac{3\pi }{4}, n=6$

Therefore, $\Delta{x}=\frac{\frac{3 \pi}{4}-0}{6}=\frac{\pi}{8}$

Step 2: Divide the interval $\left[0,\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right]$ into n = 6 sub-intervals of length $\Delta{x}=\frac{\pi}{8}$

$a=\left[0, \frac{\pi}{8}\right], \left[\frac{\pi}{8}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right], \left[\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{8}\right], \left[\frac{3 \pi}{8}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right], \left[\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{8}\right], \left[\frac{5 \pi}{8}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right]=b$

Step 3: Evaluate the function at the left endpoints

$f\left(x_{0}\right)=f(a)=f\left(0\right)=3=3$

$f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)=3 \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}}=2.77163859753386$

$f\left(x_{2}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{2}=2.12132034355964$

$f\left(x_{3}\right)=f\left(\frac{3 \pi}{8}\right)=3 \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}}=1.14805029709527$

$f\left(x_{4}\right)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=0=0$

$f\left(x_{5}\right)=f\left(\frac{5 \pi}{8}\right)=- 3 \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}}=-1.14805029709527$

Step 4: Apply the Left Riemann Sum formula

$\frac{\pi}{8}(3+2.77163859753386+2.12132034355964+1.14805029709527+0-1.14805029709527)=3.09955772805315$

$\int_{0}^{\frac{3 \pi}{4}}3 \cos{\left(x \right)}\ dx\approx 3.099558$

Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: D) No. The graph fails the vertical line test.

Explanation:

We are able to draw a single vertical line that passes through more than one point on the red curve. For example, we could draw a vertical line through x = 5 and have it cross the red curve at (5,4) and (5,-4).

So this is one example where the graph fails the vertical line test. It passes this test when such a thing doesn't happen. In other words, a function is only possible if any x input leads to exactly one and only one y output.

In this case, x = 5 leads to multiple outputs y = 4 and y = -4 at the same time. There are other x values which this occurs as well (any x values such that x > 1). So this is why we don't have a function.
