Answer:

$\{\sqrt b, -\sqrt b\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a^2 - b = 0$

Required

Determine the solution

Since b is a perfect square, the equation can be expressed as:

$a^2 - (\sqrt b)^2 = 0$

Apply difference of two squares:

$(a - \sqrt b)(a + \sqrt b) = 0$

Split:

$(a - \sqrt b)= 0 \ or\ (a + \sqrt b) = 0$

Remove brackets:

$a - \sqrt b= 0 \ or\ a + \sqrt b = 0$

Make a the subject in both equations

$a =\sqrt b \ or\ a =-\sqrt b$

The solution can be represented as:

$\{\sqrt b, -\sqrt b\}$

The population of a certain country in 1997 was 288 million people. In addition, the population of the country was growing at a

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

a) In the year 1998 with 3 days, 2 hours, 44 minutes and 18.1006141 seconds

b) In the year 1998 with 19 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes and 35.10875472 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To know the time when the population will be 305 million people, we need to isolate the variable t in the equation, $P(t)=288(1.009)^{t-1997}$

So we isolate t with the property of logarithms that allow us go down the exponent, applying in both sides of the equation

For this subsection the value of P is equal to 305 million people

$Ln(305)=Ln[(288)(1.009)]^{t-1997}$

$Ln(305)=(t-1997)*Ln[(288)(1.009)]$

Now, we can isolate the value of t

$\frac{Ln(305)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]} =t-1997$

$\frac{Ln(305)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]}-1997 =t$

$t=1998.008531776402$

So to know the exact date we multiply the number after the point, that is 0.008531776402 for the number of days that have 1 year, equal to 365 days

0.008531776402*365= 3.114098387 days

then the number after the point, that is 0.114098387 will be multiply for the number of hours that have 1 day

0.114098387*24= 2.738361282 hours

then the number after the point, that is 0.738361282 will be multiply for the number of minutes that have 1 hour

0.738361282*60= 44.3016769 minutes

Finally, the number after the point, that is 0.3016769 will be multiply for the number of seconds that have 1 minute

0.3016769*60= 18.1006141 seconds

And we obtain that the time, when the population of the country is 305 million people, is in the year 1998 with 3 days, 2 hours, 44 minutes and 25.152 seconds

b) For calculate the time when the population is 395 million people, we do the same process we did in the subsection a)

$Ln(395)=Ln[(288)(1.009)]^{t-1997}$

$Ln(395)=(t-1997)*Ln[(288)(1.009)]$

Now, we can isolate the value of t

$\frac{Ln(395)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]} =t-1997$

$\frac{Ln(395)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]}-1997 =t$

$t=1998.05412021527$

0.05412021527*365= 19.75387857 days

0.75387857 *24= 18.09308577 hours

0.09308577*60= 5.585145912 minutes

0.585145912*60= 35.10875472 seconds

And we obtain that the time, when the population of the country is 395 million people, is in the year 1998 with 19 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes and 35.10875472 seconds

A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as ed

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

For the cost from the two methods to be equal, 3,200 books have to be produced

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of books that will be produced for two methods of production having different fixed and variable costs to have the same production cost.

Since the number of books is something we do not know, let’s represent it with a variable called c.

For the first production method, the cost of production will be ; 58,881 + 8.50c

For the second production method, the cost of production will be; 18,081 + 21.25c

Now since they are said to be equal, we proceed to equate both;

58,881 + 8.5c = 18,081 + 21.25c

58,881-18,081 = 21.25c - 8.5c

40,800 = 12.75c

c = 40,800/12.75

c = 3,200 books
