Chapter 10.1, Problem 9E
Exercise 5-12 deal with data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census on populations of major cities. These data allow us to find how fast the population is growing and when it will reach certain levels. Such calculations are very important, because they indicate the future needs of the population for goods and services and how well the area can support the population.
a. Develop the model that represents the population of Chicago (see Exercise 5).
b. Predict the population in
c. Predict the population in
d. Predict when the population will be double its

(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal. Round to eight decimal places as needed.)
In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $31 per doll. During the holiday
selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $39 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of
60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before
finalizing the decision.
(a) Determine the equation for computing FTC's profit for given values of the…
For all integers a and b, (a + b)^4 ≡ a^4 + b^4 (mod 4).
