Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ask your self which equation you should use. Since it says F(3) then we have to find an equation that would fit this correctly. For example if we look at -X^2, X<-2 we could see that 3 is clearly not less than -2, leading to the conclusion that this is not the right equation.. If you look at the last equation it says that x has to be greater/equal to 0 which is true. So then we are left with the equation...

F(3)=x+2

F(3)=3+2

F(3)=5

GaryK [48]

Answer:

a) $f(t)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}]+264,034,000$

b) f(t=2015) = 264,034,317.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change in the number of hospital outpatient visits, in millions, is given by:

$f'(t)=0.001155t(t-1980)^{0.5}$

a) To find the function f(t) you integrate f(t):

$\int \frac{df(t)}{dt}dt=f(t)=\int [0.001155t(t-1980)^{0.5}]dt$

To solve the integral you use:

$\int udv=uv-\int vdu\\\\u=t\\\\du=dt\\\\dv=(t-1980)^{1/2}dt\\\\v=\frac{2}{3}(t-1980)^{3/2}$

Next, you replace in the integral:

$\int t(t-1980)^{1/2}=t(\frac{2}{3}(t-1980)^{3/2})- \frac{2}{3}\int(t-1980)^{3/2}dt\\\\= \frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}+C$

Then, the function f(t) is:

$f(t)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}]+C'$

The value of C' is deduced by the information of the exercise. For t=0 there were 264,034,000 outpatient visits.

Hence C' = 264,034,000

The function is:

$f(t)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}]+264,034,000$

b) For t = 2015 you have:

$f(t=2015)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}(2015)(2015-1980)^{1/2}-\frac{4}{15}(2015-1980)^{5/2}]+264,034,000\\\\f(t=2015)=264,034,317.7$

Whats the difference between a and b

IRISSAK [1]

Point A=-1.3

Point B= 1.3

These 2 points are reciprocals, which means that their sum is Zero. So basically they are exact opposites.
