On August 21, 2009, the World Health Organization announced its prediction that the number of new cases of H1N1 (swine flu) viru

s would double every 4 days for several months. As of July 27, 2009, the number of new cases was 15,784. Determine the instantaneous growth rate for the virus (rounded to the nearest ten-thousandths).

Answer:

  growth rate = 0.1733 per day, or 17.33% per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the doubling time is 4 days, the growth factor over a period of t days is ...

  2^(t/4)

Then the growth factor for 1 day is

  2^(1/4) ≈ 1.189207

The instantaneous growth rate is the natural log of this:

  ln(1.189207) ≈ 0.1733 . . . per day

The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length is 2 cm more than x and the width is 5 cm less than twice x. Solve for x. Round to
Black_prince [1.1K]
 Length = x + 2  (because it is 2 cm more than x)
Width = 2x - 5   (5 cm lest than 2x)Area = 54 cm2  this is the formula to find the area Length × Width = Area (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 542x2 - x - 10 = 54   (this is you area)

  Subtract 54 on both sides of equation to make the right side zero. 2x2 - x - 64 = 0  then use the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a where:a = 2b = -1c = -64 Plug in these values into the formula. x = (1 ± √(1 - 4(-128))) / 4 x = (1 ± √(513)) / 4 x = (1 ± 22.65) / 4 x = (1 + 22.65) / 4          and          x = (1 - 22.65) / 4 x = 5.91                          and          x = -5.41  Check the validity of the x values by adding them to the length and width.  If the length or width should be a negative value, then that value of x is not acceptable. Now x = 5.91 Length = 5.91 + 2  (positive value.)Width = 2(5.91) - 5  ( positive value.) x = 5.91    If we look at this -- x = -5.41, Both length and width will be negative values. We reject this value of x.  The answer is x = 5.91

Hope I helped and sorry it was really long
