9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...

  1.012^500

The number of doublings is the solution to ...

  2^n = 1.012^500

Taking logarithms, we have ...

  n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)

  n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046

About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.

Let R be the ellipsoid with equation

\left(\dfrac xa\right)^2+\left(\dfrac yb\right)^2+\left(\dfrac zc\right)^2=1

so that the volume of R is given by the triple integral

\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV

Consider the augmented spherical coordinates given by the identities

\begin{cases}x=ar\cos u\sin v\\y=br\sin u\sin v\\z=cr\cos v\end{cases}

Computing the Jacobian, we find that the volume element is given by

\mathrm dV=\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=abcr^2\sin v\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

so that the volume integral can be written as

\displaystyle\iiint_R\mathrm dV=abc\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi}\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}r^2\sin v\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\frac{4abc\pi}3

Order the group of quadratic functions from widest to narrowest graph.
Alika [10]
In a quadratic function, y = a(x²) the smaller the coefficient "a", the larger is the parabola:
From widest to narrowest:

1) y=1/3x² (Widest)

2) y= -1/2x² (Wider)

3) y=-9x² (narrowest)

m∠AOB = 6x + 5, m∠BOC = 4x - 2, m∠AOC = 8x + 21
AnnZ [28]
The sum of angle AOB and angle BOC is equal tot he angle of AOC so

6x+5 +4x-2 = 8x+21

10x+3=8x+21

Subtract three and 8x from both sides

2x=18

Divide by two

x=9

Hope this helped!
