a right triangle?

Answer: 2xy

Step-by-step explanation: We know that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 must be the longest side of the triangle (it cannot be 2xy, I will demonstrate why afterwards). By the Pythagorean theorem,

. Therefore this is a right triangle.

The only "assumption" we had to make was that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E+2xy, but this is easy to prove. By the AM-GM inequality, %28x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2%29%2F2+%3E=+sqrt%28x%5E2y%5E2%29+=+xy. Multiplying both sides by 2, x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E=+2xy. Equality occurs only when x+=+y, but this cannot be true, so x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 is strictly greater than 2xy.

The projected world population (in billions of people) t years after
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

y = 5 e^r * t

Let y be the population in billions and t the value of elapsed years

7 =   5 e^r * t  is the equation being used where  t = 15

7/5 = e^r * t

ln 7/5 = r * t     taking ln of both sides

r = .336 / 15 = .0224

y = 5 e^(.0224 t)    is then our equation

Check  - suppose you want y at 2020

y = 5 e^(.0224 * 20)    would be the equation

y = 5 e^.449 = 7.83  billion - seems to be a reasonable answer
