Answer:

(a) The value of C is 1.

(b) In 2010, the population would be 1.07555 billions.

(c) In 2047, the population would be 1.4 billions.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Here, the given function that shows the population(in billions) of the country in year x,

P(x)=Ca^{x-2000}

So, the population in 2000,

P(2000)=Ca^{2000-2000}

=Ca^{0}

=C

According to the question,

P(2000)=1

\implies C=1

(b) Similarly,

The population in 2025,

P(2025)=Ca^{2025-2000}

=Ca^{25}

=a^{25}                    (∵ C = 1)

Again according to the question,

P(2025)=1.2

a^{25}=1.2

Taking ln both sides,

\ln a^{25}=\ln 1.2

25\ln a = \ln 1.2

\ln a = \frac{\ln 1.2}{25}\approx 0.00729

a=e^{0.00729}=1.00731

Thus, the function that shows the population in year x,

P(x)=(1.00731)^{x-2000}     ...... (1)

The population in 2010,

P(2010)=(1.00731)^{2010-2000}=(1.00731)^{10}=1.07555          

Hence, the population in 2010 would be 1.07555 billions.

(c) If population P(x) = 1.4 billion,

Then, from equation (1),

1.4=(1.00731)^{x-2000}

\ln 1.4=(x-2000)\ln 1.00731

0.33647 = (x-2000)0.00728

0.33647 = 0.00728x-14.56682

0.33647 + 14.56682 = 0.00728x

14.90329 = 0.00728x

\implies x=\frac{14.90329}{0.00728}\approx 2047

Therefore, the country's population might reach 1.4 billion in 2047.

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will need for this hole?
adoni [48]

Answer:

4 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the dimensions of the hole in the carpet are 2ft by  2ft. All we have to do is find the area of that shape. Since the two side lengths are the same, and the shape appears to have 4 right angles in each of its corners, we can deduce that the shape is a square. We know that the area of a square can be found by multiplying the length and width measurements of the shape:

2ft * 2ft

= 4 ft²

Convert 359in^2 to square feet. round to 1 decimal place.
klemol [59]

Based on dimensional analysis and unit conversion theory we conclude that an area of 359 square inches is equivalent to an area of 2.5 square feet.

<h3>How to apply dimensional analysis in unit conversion</h3>

In this question we need to convert a magnitude in a given unit to an <em>equivalent</em> magnitude with another unit. According to dimensional analysis, <em>unit</em> conversions are represented by the following expression:

y = A · x     (1)

Where:

  • x - Original magnitude, in square inches.
  • y - Resulting magnitude, in square feet.
  • A - Conversion factor, in square feet per square inch.

Dimensionally speaking, area is equal to the product of length and length:

[Area] = [Length] × [Length]

And a feet is equivalent to 12 inches. Now we proceed to convert the magnitude to square feet:

x = 359 in² × (1 ft/12 in) × (1 ft/12 in)

x = 359 in² × (1 ft²/144 in²)

x = 2.5 ft²

Based on dimensional analysis and unit conversion theory we conclude that an area of 359 square inches is equivalent to an area of 2.5 square feet.
