X < 14
Ur welcome...
Its pretty basic
Answer:
V = 792 m3
I am kinda guessing on this since you didn't provide a unit or label what the height, width, and length are. Also you should specify what prism...
Plug x = 0 into the function
f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1
f(0) = 0^3 + 2(0) - 1
f(0) = -1
Note how the result is negative. The actual number itself doesn't matter. All we care about is the sign of the result.
Repeat for x = 1
f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1
f(1) = 1^3 + 2(1) - 1
f(1) = 2
This result is positive.
---------------------------
We found that f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 2. The first output -1 is negative while the second output 2 is positive. Going from negative to positive means that, at some point, we will hit y = 0. We might have multiple instances of this happening, or just one. We don't know for sure. The only thing we do know is that there is at least one root in this interval.
To actually find this root, you'll need to use a graphing calculator because the root is some complicated decimal value. Using a graphing calculator, you should find the root to be approximately 0.4533976515
The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.
Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get
{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P
n
=284⋅1.04
n
We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.
\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7
We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.
\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P
7
=284⋅1.04
7
≈374
The student population will be about 374 in 2020.
