Answer:

I'm guessing you mean f(x)=15,000(9/8)^x. If this is what you mean, the population would increase by about 12,000 (12030.4870605 to be exact).

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting equation: f(x)=15,000(9/8)^x

You can clean up the 9/8 to be 1.125

Now what you want to do is find the answer to (9/8)^5 which is 1.8020324707

Next multiply 1.8020324707 by 15,000 and you get 27030.4870605

Finally 27,030.4870605 - 15,000 gives you 12030.4870605. Which means that the population increased by about 12,000.

Water traveling along a straight portion of a river normally flows fastest in the middle, and the speed slows to almost zero at
NISA [10]
We can rewrite the function f(x) to be a function of time, where x =5t.
  f(x) = (3/400)(x)(40 - x)
  f(5t) = (3/400)(5t)(40 - 5t) . . . . substituting 5t for x
Simplifying, we have the current speed as a function of the time spent in the river.
  f(t) = (3/16)·t·(8 -t)

The area under this curve is the product of speed and time, thus is distance. To find the distance, we integrate over the time it takes to get from one bank to the other, that is from t=0 to t=8.
  ∫[0, 8] (3/16)·(8t -t²)dt = 3/16·(8·8²/2 -8³/3) = 8³/32 = 16 . . . . meters

The boat ends up 16 meters downriver.

F(x, y) = x2 + y2 + 4x − 4y, x2 + y2 ≤ 81 find the extreme values of f on the region described by the inequality.
Whitepunk [10]
Take partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

\nabla F(x,y)=\langle2x+4,2y-4\rangle=\mathbf 0

We find one critical point within the boundary of the disk at (x,y)=(-2,2). The Hessian matrix for this function is

\mathbf H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}f_{xx}&f_{xy}\\f_{yx}&f_{yy}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}

which is positive definite, and incidentally independent of x and y, so F(x,y) attains a minimum F(-2,2)=-8.

Meanwhile, we can parameterize the boundary by \mathbf r(t)=\langle9\cos t,9\sin t\rangle with 0\le t\le2\pi, which gives

F(x,y)=F(x(t),y(t))=f(t)=81\cos^2t+81\sin^2t+36\cos t-36\sin t=81+36(\cos t-\sin t)

with critical points at

f'(t)=0\implies 36(-\sin t-\cos t)=0\implies\sin t+\cos t=0\implies t=\dfrac{3\pi}4,\dfrac{7\pi}4

At these points, we get

f\left(\dfrac{3\pi}4\right)=81-36\sqrt2\approx30.0883
f\left(\dfrac{7\pi}4\right)=81+36\sqrt2\approx131.9117

so we attain a maximum only when t=\dfrac{7\pi}4, which translates to (x,y)=\left(\dfrac9{\sqrt2},-\dfrac9{\sqrt2}\right).

Based on the given segment lengths, determine whether the segments can form a triangle.
murzikaleks [220]

For 3 sides to form a triangle two sides added together need to be greater then the 3rd side. You need to check all 3 combinations:

1. 11.5 + 10.5 = 22, 22> 6.1

11.5 + 6.1 = 17.6 17.6 > 10.5

10.5 + 6.1 = 16.6, 16.6 > 11.5

This one can make a triangle.

2. 9.5 + 3.5 > 4.5

9.5 + 4.5 > 3.5

4.5 + 3.5 < 9.5

Cannot make a triangle.

3. 8 + 6.7 > 1

6.7 + 1 < 8

Cannot make a triangle.

4. Can make a triangle

5. Can

6. Can

Explain how employee benefits affect total employment compensation
dlinn [17]
Employee benefits are generally considered added compensation in addition to wages or salary.  so if it were represented as a function it would be C=b+w. The total compensation C would be equal to benefits b plus wages or salary w.
