over the next 30 years,some estimates place the worlds population going from roughly 7.2 billion people in the world to 10 billi

on in 2050. Currently, global food consumption equals around 3000 kilo-calories per person, per day and as global prosperity increases that number is expected to rise to roughly 3500 kilocalories person per day. Counting no other costs other than the cost of production (and this means costs to transport,land use costs, CO2 production,water use,ect), lets say it costs us 1 pollution unit to produce 1000 kilo-calories of food today. What is the current impact in pollution units per day to feed the planet?

Answer:

Current impact in pollution units per day=21.6 billion pollution units per day

Step-by-step explanation:

1 person consumes 3000 kilo-calories per person

Current population=7.2 billion people

Total calories the entire population produces=(7.2 billion×3000)

1000 kilo-calories causes= 1 pollution unit

To get the impact of the entire population=(7.2 billion×3000)/1000=21.6 billion pollution units per day

Let f be a function such that f(x)=2x-4 is defined on the domain.2 is less than or equal to x and x is lss than or equal to 6. T
STALIN [3.7K]
F(x) = 2x - 4
f(2 ≤ x) = 2(2 ≤ x) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2(x ≥ 2) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2(x) ≥ 2(2) - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2x ≥ 4 - 4
f(x ≥ 2) = 2x ≥ 0
f(x ≥ 2) = x ≥ 0

f(x) = 2x - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2(x ≤ 6) - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2(x) ≤ 2(6) - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2x ≤ 12 - 4
f(x ≤ 6) = 2x ≤ 8
f(x ≤ 6) = x ≤ 4

Ab=45 mm,bc=10cm 4mm ,cd = 5 cm 6 mm ,de= 35 mm,ea=x cm, and the perimeter of irregular pentagon is 280 mm. Find the length of t
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The length of the unknown side x is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of its length sides

Remember that

1 cm=10 mm

In this problem we have

AB=45 mm ------> convert to cm -----> AB=45/10=4.5 cm

BC=10 cm 4 mm -----> convert to cm -----> BC=10+4/10=10.4 cm

CD=5 cm 6 mm  -----> convert to cm -----> CD=5+6/10=5.6 cm

DE=35 mm ------> convert to cm -----> DE=35/10=3.5 cm

EA=x cm

P=280 mm ------> convert to cm -----> P=280/10=28 cm

The perimeter of the irregular polygon is equal to

P=AB+BC+CD+DE+EA

substitute the values

28=4.5+10.4+5.6+3.5+x

28=24+x

x=28-24

x=4 cm

Please help.. no links​
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Its 9.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For the side mostly to the left, its gonna be 3 units, since we can easlily count it

Now, for the diagonals, we have to use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is (l * w) / 2 = a.

For the bottom side, its 3 along the x axis and 1 along the y axis. 3 * 1 is 3, now divide that by 2 and you got 1.5

Now, for the right side, its 5 on the y, 1 on the x. Multiply 1 by 5, you got 5. Now divide that by 2 and you have 2.5

Finally, for the top side, its 4 on the x, and 1 on the y. 4 * 1 is 4, divided by 2 and its 2.

Alright, now we have to add 'em all together. 3 + 1.5 + 2.5 + 2 is 9 units

Theres your answer :)
