The linear equation is y = 4x + 2, the quadratic equation is y = 4x² - 2x + 2 , and the exponential equation is y = 2(3ˣ).

Let's use the first two points on the table: (0, 2) and (1, 6).

The slope is (6 - 2) / (1 - 0) = 4.

To find the y-intercept, we can plug in one of the points and solve for b in the equation y = mx + b.

Let's use (0, 2): 2 = 4(0) + b, so b = 2.

Therefore, the linear equation is y = 4x + 2.

We need to find the values of a, b, and c. Let's use the first three points on the table: (0, 2), (1, 6), and (2, 18).

We can create a system of equations by plugging in these points:

2 = a(0)² + b(0) + c,

6 = a(1)² + b(1) + c, and

18 = a(2)² + b(2) + c.

Simplifying these equations, we get

c = 2, a + b + c = 6, and 4a + 2b + c = 18.

Solving this system of equations, we get

a = 4, b = -2, and c = 2.

Therefore, the quadratic equation is y = 4x² - 2x + 2.

We can use the formula for exponential growth, which is y = abˣ, where a is the initial value and b is the growth factor. Let's use the first two points on the table: (0, 2) and (1, 6).

The initial value is 2, so the equation is y = 2bˣ.

To find the growth factor, we can divide the y-values: 6/2 = 3 = b¹, so b = 3. Therefore, the exponential equation is y = 2(3ˣ).

1. For the solid bounded by the panes 2 = 1 - x and z=1-y in the first octant, one triple integral that describes the volume of the solid. The region is bounded by the x-axis and the curve y = √(2x-x^2), which is the top half of a circle centered at (1,0) with radius 1.

One possible order of integration is:
∫0^1 ∫0^(1-x) ∫0^(1-y) dzdydx
This means we integrate over z first, then y, then x. Another order of integration could be:
∫0^1 ∫0^x ∫0^(1-x-y) dzdydx
Here we integrate over z first, then x, then y.
Another possible order of integration is:
∫0^1 ∫0^1-x ∫0^1-y dzdxdy
Here we integrate over z first, then x, then y. This order of integration can also be rewritten in polar coordinates as:
∫0^(π/4) ∫0^(secθ-1) ∫0^(cscθ-1) r dzdrdθ
2. Compute by switching the order of integration:
∫0^2 ∫0^√(2x-x^2) dydx

First, let's sketch the region of integration. The region is bounded by the x-axis and the curve y = √(2x-x^2), which is the top half of a circle centered at (1,0) with radius 1.
We can switch the order of integration to integrate over x first, then y:
∫0^1 ∫0^(2-2y^2) dxdy
To find the limits of integration for x, we set y = √(2x-x^2) and solve for x:
y^2 = 2x - x^2
x^2 - 2x + y^2 = 0
(x-1)^2 = 1 - y^2
x = 1 ± √(1-y^2)
Since the curve is the top half of the circle, we take the positive square root:
x = 1 + √(1-y^2)
So the limits of integration for x are 0 to 2-2y^2. Integrating with respect to x first gives:
∫0^1 ∫0^(2-2y^2) dxdy = ∫0^1 (2-2y^2)dy = 4/3
3. Write the following integral in polar coordinates, then solve:
arctan (dy/dx)
We can write dy/dx in terms of polar coordinates using the chain rule:
dy/dx = (dy/dr)(dr/dθ)(1/dx/dθ)
Using the relationships x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ, we have:
dx/dθ = -rsinθ
dy/dθ = rcosθ, So
dy/dx = (dy/dr)(dr/dθ)(1/dx/dθ) = (cosθ)/(sinθ) = cotθ
Therefore, the integral becomes:
∫arctan(cotθ) dθ

To solve this integral, we use the identity arctan(x) + arctan(1/x) = π/2 for x > 0:
arctan(cotθ) = π/2 - arctan(tanθ)
So the integral becomes:
∫(π/2 - arctan(tanθ)) dθ
Integrating, we get:
(π/2)θ - ln|cosθ| + C
Where C is the constant of integration.
1. To find three other orders of integration for the solid bounded by the planes z = 1 - x, z = 1 - y, x = 0, y = 0, and z = 0 in the first octant, we can rearrange the given triple integral, which is given as:
∫∫∫_D dz dy dx
Now, we can find three other orders of integration:
a) ∫∫∫_D dx dz dy
b) ∫∫∫_D dy dx dz
c) ∫∫∫_D dy dz dx
2. To compute the volume of the solid by switching the order of integration, we can rewrite the given integral ∫∫ dy dx as: ∫∫ dx dy

Let's use the variables "a" for the cost of an apple, "b" for the cost of a banana, and "o" for the cost of an orange.

From the first transaction:

- 3a + 5b + 4o = 8.85

From the second transaction:

- 8a + b + 3o = 8.10

From the third transaction:

- 2a + 2b + 2o = 4.40

We can now solve for one variable and substitute into another equation until we have found all three. Let's solve for "a" in the third equation:

- 2a + 2b + 2o = 4.40

- 2a = 4.40 - 2b - 2o

- a = 2.20 - b - o

Now we can substitute "a" into the first equation:

- 3a + 5b + 4o = 8.85

- 3(2.20 - b - o) + 5b + 4o = 8.85

- 6.60 - 3b - 3o + 5b + 4o = 8.85

- 2b + o = 0.75  (Equation A)

Next, we can substitute "a" into the second equation:

- 8a + b + 3o = 8.10

- 8(2.20 - b - o) + b + 3o = 8.10

- 17.60 - 8b - 8o + b + 3o = 8.10

- -7b - 5o = -9.50  (Equation B)

Now we have two equations with two variables, so we can solve for one variable and substitute into the other equation. Let's solve for "o" in Equation A:

- 2b + o = 0.75

- o = 0.75 - 2b

Now we can substitute "o" into Equation B:

- -7b - 5o = -9.50

- -7b - 5(0.75 - 2b) = -9.50

- -7b - 3.75 + 10b = -9.50

- 3b = -5.75

- b = -1.92 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Finally, we can substitute "b" into Equation A to find "o":

- 2b + o = 0.75

- 2(-1.92) + o = 0.75

- o = 4.59 (rounded to the nearest cent)

We can now find "a" by substituting "b" and "o" into one of the original equations. Let's use the first equation:

- 3a + 5b + 4o = 8.85

- 3a + 5(-1.92) + 4(4.59) = 8.85

- 3a - 9.60 + 18.36 = 8.85

- 3a = -0.09

- a = -0.03 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Since the cost of a piece of fruit cannot be negative, we made a mistake somewhere in our calculations. It's possible that we made a mistake in rounding at some point. To be sure, let's check our answers by substituting the values we found back into the original equation.

2(-0.0737) + 2(-0.0528) + 2o = 4.40

-0.1474 - 0.1056 + 2o = 4.40

2o = 4.6529

o = 2.3264 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Therefore, each apple costs approximately $0.0737, each banana costs approximately $0.0528, and each orange costs approximately $2.3264.

Lillian would have approximately $14,599 in her account after 3 years, to the nearest dollar.

To find out how much Lillian would have in her account after 3 years, we need to use the future value of a series formula, which is:

[tex]FV = P \frac{(1 + r)^nt - 1)}{r}[/tex]

where:
FV = future value of the series
P = monthly deposit ($430)
r = monthly interest rate (annual interest rate / 12)
n = number of times interest is compounded per year (12)
t = number of years (3)

First, we need to find the monthly interest rate by dividing the annual interest rate (4.5%) by 12:
[tex]r =\frac{0.045}{12} = 0.00375[/tex]

[tex]FV = 430 \frac{(1 + 0.00375)^{12x3}  - 1)}{0.00375}[/tex]

Calculating the future value:
[tex]FV = 430\frac{(1.127334 - 1) }{0.00375} = 430 \frac{0.127334}{ 0.00375} = 430 (33.955)[/tex]

The equilibrium level of output in the economy can be calculated using the following formula:

Y = C + I + G + NX

Where:

Y = Equilibrium level of output

C = Consumption

I = Investment

G = Government spending

NX = Net exports

We can calculate consumption using the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) and autonomous spending (A):

C = MPC(Y - T) + A

Where:

T = Taxes (assumed to be 0 in this case)

Substituting in the given values:

C = 0.8(Y - 0) + 2000

C = 0.8Y + 2000

Substituting in the given values for investment, government spending, and net exports:

Y = 0.8Y + 2000 + 7500 + 10000 - 1000

Y = 0.8Y + 19500

Solving for Y:

0.2Y = 19500

Y = 97500

Therefore, the equilibrium level of output in the economy is $97,500.

If net exports increase by $1000, then the new value of net exports (NX) is 0.

Substituting the new value of NX into the formula:

Y = 0.8Y + 2000 + 7500 + 10000 - 0

Y = 0.8Y + 19500

Solving for Y:

0.2Y = 19500

Y = 97500

Therefore, the equilibrium level of output in the economy is still $97,500.

The multiplier is calculated as:

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)

Substituting in the value of MPC:

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.8)

Multiplier = 5

Therefore, the multiplier in this case is 5.

The angles on the north side of the intersection are complementary angles because complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees. At the intersection of Madison Street and Peachtree Street, the north side of the intersection forms a right angle (90 degrees).

Any angle on the north side of the intersection must be complementary to the right angle, meaning its measure must be less than 90 degrees.

For example, if we consider the angle formed by Madison Street and the north side of the intersection, it is less than 90 degrees and therefore complementary to the right angle formed by the intersection. Similarly, if we consider the angle formed by Peachtree Street and the north side of the intersection, it is also less than 90 degrees and complementary to the right angle formed by the intersection.

To find the Lagrange Error Bound for the third-degree Taylor polynomial, we need to use the formula: |Rn(x)| ≤ (M / (n + 1)) * [tex]|x - a|^{(n+1)[/tex]

where M is an upper bound for [tex]|f^{(n+1)(x)}|[/tex]on the interval [a,x], and Rn(x) is the remainder or error term in the Taylor series.

For the given function f(x) = [tex]e^x[/tex], we have:

f'(x) = [tex]e^x[/tex]

f''(x) = [tex]e^x[/tex]

Tina received $12.30 for recycling her cans last week.

To find how much money Tina got for her cans last week, we need to find the total number of cans she collected and then multiply that by 0.05 (since she gets 5 cents per can).

On Wednesday and Thursday, Tina collected 37 cans each day, for a total of 2 x 37 = 74 cans.

On Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, she collected 43 cans each day, for a total of 4 x 43 = 172 cans.

The total number of cans collected is 74 + 172 = 246 cans.

To find the total amount of money Tina received, we multiply 246 by 0.05, which gives us:

246 x 0.05 = $12.30

Therefore, Tina received $12.30 for recycling her cans last week.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The age of the specimen with half-life 5760 years, to the nearest hundred years is 3184 years.

To find the age of the specimen, we can use the formula:

A = ([tex]A_{1}[/tex])[tex]2^{(-t/5760)}[/tex]

Where [tex]A_{1}[/tex] is the original amount of carbon-14 (120 milligrams), A is the current amount of carbon-14 (100 milligrams), t is the time elapsed since the organism died, and 5760 is the half-life of carbon-14.

Substituting the given values, we get:

100 = (120)[tex]2^{(-t/5760)}[/tex]

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:

ln(100) = ln(120) - t/5760 * ln(2)

Solving for t, we get:

t = -5760 * ln(100/120) / ln(2)

t ≈ 3183.7 years

Therefore, the age of the specimen is approximately 3184 years, rounded to the nearest hundred years.

It's worth noting that radiocarbon dating is only accurate up to a certain point, as the amount of carbon-14 in a specimen eventually becomes too low to measure accurately. The maximum age that can be reliably determined through radiocarbon dating is around 50,000 to 60,000 years. Beyond that, other methods such as dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) or uranium-thorium dating may be used.

Correct Question :

An archaeologist can determine the approximate age of certain ancient specimens by measuring the amount of carbon-14, a radioactive substance, contained in the specimen. The formula used to determine the age of a specimen is A = ([tex]A_{1}[/tex])[tex]2^{(-t/5760)}[/tex] where A is the amount of carbon-14 that a specimen contains, [tex]A_{1}[/tex] is the original amount of carbon-14, t is time, in years, and 5760 is the half-life of carbon-14. A specimen that originally contained 120 milligrams of carbon-14 now contains 100 milligrams of this substance. What is the age of the specimen, to the nearest hundred years?

The particular solution Yp(t) is found by following these steps and combining it with the complementary solution Yc(t) to get the general solution Y(t) = Yc(t) + Yp(t).

To find the particular solution to [tex]y'' + y' - 12y = -340sin(t)[/tex] using variation of parameters, follow these steps:
1. Find the complementary solution Yc(t) for the homogeneous equation [tex]y'' + y' - 12y = 0[/tex]. The characteristic equation is[tex]r^2 + r - 12 = 0[/tex], which has roots r1 = -4 and r2 = 3. Thus, [tex]Yc(t) = C1e^(-4t) + C2e^(3t)[/tex].

2. Assume the particular solution Yp(t) is in the form [tex]Yp(t) = u1(t)e^(-4t) + u2(t)e^(3t)[/tex]. Calculate the Wronskian [tex]W(Y1, Y2) using Y1 = e^(-4t) and Y2 = e^(3t).[/tex]  3. Find u1'(t) and u2'(t) using the given nonhomogeneous equation: -340sin(t) = -Y1(t)u1'(t) + Y2(t)u2'(t).

4. Integrate u1'(t) and u2'(t) to find u1(t) and u2(t).
5. Plug u1(t) and u2(t) back into the particular solution [tex]Yp(t) = u1(t)e^(-4t) + u2(t)e^(3t[/tex]).
