Answer:

Human population, now over 7 billion, cannot continue to grow indefinitely. There are limits to the life-sustaining resources earth can provide us. In other words, there is a carrying capacity for human life on our planet. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of a species an environment can support indefinitely.

It is projected that the world's population will continue to grow and will reach nearly 10 billion by 2050. While in other regions growth will slow significantly, in Sub-Saharan Africa, the population is projected to double by 2050, an expansion of nearly 10 times relative to 1960, from 227 million to 2.2 billion.

The function h(t) = −5t2 + 20t shown in the graph models the curvature of a satellite dish: graph of parabola starting at zero c

ipn [44]

Answer:

Part 1) Option B: 0 ≤ x ≤ 4

Part 2) Option C: (5x − 1)(2x − 3)

Part 3) Option C: The crop yield decreased by 10 pounds per acre from year 10 to year 20.

Part 4) Option B: f(x) = (2x + 1)(2x − 1)

Part 5) Option A: The company earned 85 billion dollars in 2008

Part 6) Option C: (3, 0) and (5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$h(t)=-5t^{2}+20t$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The x-intercepts are the points (0,0) and (4,0)

The vertex is the point (2,20) ---> The x-coordinate of the vertex is the midpoint of the x-intercepts

The domain is the interval ----> [0,4]

$0\leq t\leq 4$

The range is the interval ----> [0,20]

$0\leq h(t)\leq 20$

Part 2) we have

$V=10x^{2} -17x+13$

where

x is the time in minutes

V is the volume in gallons

we know that

When the trough is empty, the volume is equal to zero

For V=0

$10x^{2} -17x+3=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$10x^{2} -17x+3=0$

$a=10\\b=-17\\c=3$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-(-17)(+/-)\sqrt{-17^{2}-4(10)(3)}} {2(10)}$

$x=\frac{17(+/-)\sqrt{169}} {20}$

$x=\frac{17(+/-)13} {20}$

$x=\frac{17(+)13} {20}=\frac{3}{2}$

$x=\frac{17(-)13} {20}=\frac{1}{5}$

$10x^{2} -17x+3=10(x-\frac{3}{2})(x-\frac{1}{5})$

simplify

$10(x-\frac{3}{2})(x-\frac{1}{5})=(2x-3)(5x-1)$

Part 3) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+20x+100$

we know that

To find the average rate of change, we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value

the average rate of change is equal to

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

In this problem we have

$f(a)=f(10)=-(10)^{2}+20(10)+100=200$

$f(b)=f(20)=-(20)^{2}+20(20)+100=100$

$a=10$

$b=20$

Substitute

$\frac{100-200}{20-10}$

$-\frac{100}{10}=-10$ ----> is a decreasing function

therefore

The crop yield decreased by 10 pounds per acre from year 10 to year 20.

Part 4) we have

$f(x)=4x^{2} -1$

<em>Find out the x-intercepts</em>

Remember that the x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

For f(x)=0

$4x^{2} -1=0$

Solve for x

$4x^{2}=1$

$x^{2}=\frac{1}{4}$

take square root both sides

$x=(+/-)\frac{1}{2}$

$f(x)=4x^{2} -1=4(x-\frac{1}{2})(x+\frac{1}{2})=(2x-1)(2x+1)$

Part 5) we have

$t^{2}+14t+85$

Remember that

The y-intercept of a function is the value of the function (output value) when the value of x (input value) is equal to zero

In this problem

The expression represent a company's net sales, in billions, from 2008 to 2018

t is the number of years since the end of 2008

For t=0 -----> represent the end of 2008

$(0)^{2}+14(0)+85=85\ billion\ dollars$

therefore

The company earned 85 billion dollars in 2008.

Part 6) What are the x-intercepts of the parabola?

we have the points (2,3),(4,-1),(6,3)

This is a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex represent a minimum

In this problem the vertex is the point (4,-1)

The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

we have

(h,k)=(4,-1)

substitute

$y=a(x-4)^2-1$

take the point (2,3) and substitute in the quadratic equation to solve for a

For x=2, y=3

$3=a(2-4)^2-1$

$3=4a-1$

$4a=4$

$a=1$

The quadratic equation is

$y=(x-4)^2-1$

Find out the x-intercepts

Remember that the x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

For y=0

$(x-4)^2-1=0$

Solve for x

$(x-4)^2=1$

take square root both sides

$(x-4)=(+/-)1$

$x=4(+/-)1$

$x=4+1=5\\x=4-1=3$

therefore

The x-intercepts are the points (3,0) and (5,0)

Mr. Williams is painting only the back of his barn. A gallon of paint covers 70 square feet. How many square feet will Mr. Willi

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Option A. 264 ft² ; 4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; find the complete question in the attachment.

From the picture attached,

Area of the barn to be painted = Area of the (rectangular base + Triangular top) - Area of the window

Area of the rectangular base = 12 × 18

= 216 ft²

Area of the triangular top = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base}\times \text{Height})$

= $\frac{1}{2}(12)(28-18)$

= 60 square feet

Area of the window = 3 ft × 4 ft

= 12 ft²

Total area to be painted = 216 + 60 - 12

= 264 ft²

∵ 70 square feet of the barn is covered by the amount of paint = 1 gallon

∴ 1 square feet will be covered by the amount = $\frac{1}{70}$ gallons

∴ 264 square feet will be painted by = $\frac{264}{70}$

= 3.77 gallons

≈ 4 gallons

Therefore, Option (A). 264 ft²; 4 gallons will be the answer.
