How did the exploration of the world in the 1500s contribute to the field of geography

Evaluate the extent to which railroads affected the process of empire-building in Afro-Eurasia between 1860 and 1918.

liq [111]

Answer with Explanation:

"Railroads" played a vital role regarding empire-building in Afro-Eurasia. They became essential especially during the "Age of New Imperialism" (1870s). It aided the locomotion that was needed for great empires. Europe became more powerful because the railroads, together with money, allowed them to control other countries, especially the agrarian ones.

It allowed them to gain control of other nation's natural resources as well. One example of this are the "trunk lines" which connect the commercial centers with the seaports in Africa. This allowed the gold fields and diamond fields to be directly connected to the port. This were then destined to the factories and markets in Europe. The railways (locomotives) also extended to other areas including Asia such as China, Thailand, India, etc.

1. Write the recursive formula and the explicit formula for the sequence {3,6,12,24,48,...}. Show all work.

Evgesh-ka [11]

1. The given sequence is a geometric sequence.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by

$a_{n} = a_{1} r^{n-1}$

where $a_{n}$ is the nth term of the sequence,

$a_{1}$ is the first term of the sequence and

r is the common ratio.

In the given sequence,

a₁ = 3 and r = 2

∴ aₙ = 3(2ⁿ⁻¹)

2. All geometric sequences are discrete form of exponential functions.

A geometric sequence is given by

aₙ = a₀ rⁿ , where n is a discrete value, in other words, a counting integer.

If the discrete value, n is replaced by a continuous variable, x , the resulting function is exponential in nature.

3. Here, the given function is f(x) = 3(1.06 x) + 2.

We see that, f(x) increases with increase in x.

Let us assume x to be the amount of gold in grams and f(x) to be the price of gold.

The cost of gold is directly proportional to the amount of gold bought and there is a flat tax collected, which is 2 bucks.

4. Constant rate of change : When a quantity changes uniformly over the another quantity, it is said to constant change over the other. For example, when a car covers a distance of 50 km every hour, the car is said to have a constant speed, which is rate of change of distance.

Average rate of change : It is the average rate at which one quantity is changing with respect to another. Suppose let us take the car to be covering a distance of 50 km in the first hour and 60 km in the second hour. Here, the rate of change in first hour is 50 kmph, where as in the second is 60 kmph. The average rate of change is 55 kmph.

5. Average rate of change is the slope of the function.

Here the function is g(x)=6x-6

If y = mx+c, the slope is m.

Here, the function is also of the same form, where m =6 and c = -6.

So, the slope of the equation is 6.

Average rate of change is 6 in the interval, 0≤x≤3

Answer:

Responsibilities.

Explanation:

An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed to work in an organization and as such is saddled with the responsibility of effectively and efficiently completing the day-to-day tasks that are assigned to him or her, for a specific period of time.

Hence, the long-term, day-to-day tasks that are assigned at work are called job responsibilities.

Additionally, job specialization can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the ability of employees working in an organization to develop specific skills, knowledge, great expertise or professionalism and experience to perform their duties, tasks or job functions effectively and efficiently.

In order to gain the requisite skills, expertise and knowledge for job specialization, it is very important for the employees to have undergone an extensive training and a good number of years in work experience.

The main advantage of job specialization to a business firm or company, is to increase efficiency and productivity because the employees are able to specialize in the use of specific tools (equipments) to accomplish their tasks, as well as limit the level of error or mistakes in the production process.
