here are the approximate population of three countries, expressed in scientific notation: panama: 4 x 10^6 ; peru: 3.2 x 10^7 ;

thailand: 7 x 10^7. Lin says that more than 20 times as many people live in thailand than in panama. Is this correct​

Answer:

No, Lin assumption is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Population of panama = 4 x 10^6

population of thailand = 7 x 10^7.

Taking their ratios

thailand/panama = 7x 10^7/4 x 10^6

thailand/panama  = 7/4 * 10^7-6}

thailand/panama = 1.75 * 10^1

thailand/panama  = 17.5

thailand = 17.5 * panama

Hence the amount of people in thailand is not up to 20times those in panama. Hence Lin assumption is wrong

The equation of this sinusoidal function is either

f(x) = a sin(bx) + c

or

f(x) = a cos(bx) + c

Either way, the plot of f9x) has amplitude a, period 2π/b, and midline y = c.

If the period is π/2, then

2π/b = π/2   ⇒   b = 4

If the maximum value is 10 and the minimum value is -4, then

-4 ≤ a sin(4x) + c ≤ 10

-4 - c ≤ a sin(4x) ≤ 10 - c

-(4 + c)/a ≤ sin(4x) ≤ (10 - c)/a

Recall that sin(x) is bounded between -1 and 1. So we must have

-(4 + c)/a = -1   ⇒   a = c + 4

(10 - c)/a = 1   ⇒   a = -c + 10

Combining these equations and eliminating either variable gives

a + a = (c + 4) + (-c + 10)   ⇒   2a = 14   ⇒   a = 7

a - a = (c + 4) - (-c + 10)   ⇒   0 = 2c - 6   ⇒   c = 3

Finally, we have either

f(x) = a sin(bx) + c   ⇒   f(0) = c = 3

or

f(x) = a cos(bx) + c   ⇒   f(0) = a + c = 3

but the cosine case is impossible since a = 7.  

So, the given function has equation

f(x) = 7 sin(4x) + 3

A store was keeping track of how many bottles of hand sanitizer and soap bars were sold last week. A bottle of hand sanitizer co
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Hand sanitizer=135 bottles

Bar soap=83 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the hand sanitizer and y the sop.

-Our problem can be expressed as:

x+y=218\ \ \ \ \  ...i\\\\4.25x+2.15y=752.20\ \ \ \ \  ...ii

#Make x the subject in i then substitute in ii to solve;

x=218-y\\\\\therefore 4.25(218-y)+2.15y=752.20\\\\926.5-4.25y+2.15y=752.20\\\\174.3=2.1y\\\\y=83\\\\x=218-83=135

Hence, 135 bottles of hand sanitizer and 83 bottles of bar soap were sold.
