$\bf \textit{Amount of Population Decay} \\\\ A=Pe^{-rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &40000\\ r=rate\to 3.1\%\to \frac{3.1}{100}\dotfill &0.031\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &4\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=4000e^{-0.031(4)}\implies A=40000e^{-0.124}\implies A=\cfrac{4000}{e^{0.124}} \\\\\\ A\approx 35335.194\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{A\approx 35335}$

Given :

A squirrel climbs up a tree. She starts at 0.5 feet up the tree, then climbs at a steady pace for 7.5 seconds.

She ends 4 feet up the tree.

Solution :

Now, distance covered is :

d = 4 - 0.5 = 3.5 feet.

Time taken, t = 7.5 seconds.

Distance climbed per second is :

$D =\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\D=\dfrac{3.5}{7.5}\\\\D = 0.467\ feet/s$

Therefore, distance climber per second is 0.467 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Remember:

$\boxed{sin(2x)=2.sinx.cosx}\\
\\
and\\
\\
\boxed{cos(2x)=cos^2x-sin^2x}$

$\frac{2cos2x}{sin2x}-cotx-tanx=\\
\\
\frac{2(cos^2x-sin^2x)}{2sinx.cosx}-\frac{cosx}{sinx}-\frac{sinx}{cosx}=\\
\\
\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{sinx.cosx}-\frac{cosx}{sinx}-\frac{sinx}{cosx}=\\
\\
\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x-cos^2x-sin^2x}{sinx.cosx}=\\
\\
\frac{-2sin^2x}{sinx.cosx}=\\
\\
\frac{-2sinx}{cosx}=-2.tanx$
