Does anyone know how to solve these? i need help!

What is the solution to this system of equations?

BaLLatris [955]

The answer is B
X = 3 and 1/2= Y
3 + 2(1/2) = 4
3 + 1 = 4
Half of 2 = 1, making B the answer

The length of the red line segment is 8 and the length of the blue line segment is 4. How long is the major axis of the eclipse?

liraira [26]

The major axis of the eclipse is 12 units long

The given parameters can be represented as:

$Red = 8$

$Blue = 4$

See attachment for illustration

To solve this question, we make use of the following theorem

The distance between a point and the foci sums up to the major axis

This translates to:

$Major\ axis = Red + Blue$

$Major\ axis = 8 + 4$

$Major\ axis = 12$

The population, P(t), of China, in billions, can be approximated by1 P(t)=1.394(1.006)t, where t is the number of years since th

Answer:

At the start of 2014, the population was growing at 8.34 million people per year.

At the start of 2015, the population was growing at 8.39 million people per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how fast was the population growing at the start of 2014 and at the start of 2015 we need to take the derivative of the function with respect to t.

The derivative shows by how much the function (the population, in this case) is changing when the variable you're deriving with respect to (time) increases one unit (one year).

We know that the population, P(t), of China, in billions, can be approximated by $P(t)=1.394(1.006)^t$

To find the derivative you need to:

$\frac{d}{dt}\left(1.394\cdot \:1.006^t\right)=\\\\\mathrm{Take\:the\:constant\:out}:\quad \left(a\cdot f\right)'=a\cdot f\:'\\\\1.394\frac{d}{dt}\left(1.006^t\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:derivative\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(a^x\right)=a^x\ln \left(a\right)\\\\1.394\cdot \:1.006^t\ln \left(1.006\right)\\\\\frac{d}{dt}\left(1.394\cdot \:1.006^t\right)=(1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^t$

To find the population growing at the start of 2014 we say t = 0

$P(t)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^t\\P(0)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^0\\P(0)' = 0.00833901 \:Billion/year$

To find the population growing at the start of 2015 we say t = 1

$P(t)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^t\\P(1)' = (1.394\cdot \ln \left(1.006\right))\cdot 1.006^1\\P(1)' = 0.00838904 \:Billion/year$
