Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Answer to Problem 51RE

The slopes of the secant line PQi for i=1,2,3 are 313.86, 244.8 and 210 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The table given below shows the population of Florida in several years:

    Population of Florida
    YearPopulation(in thousands)
    200016,047
    200216,341
    200417,314
    200618,019
    200818,328
    200918,538

The point P represents the points corresponding to 2009, Q1 the point corresponding to 2002, Q2 the point corresponding to 2004 and Q3 the point corresponding to 2008.

Calculation:

Simplify the slope of the secant line PQ1 .

  m=y2−y1x2−x1=16341−185382002−2009=−2197−7=313.86

So, the slope of the secant line PQ1 is equal to 313.86.

Simplify the slope of the secant line PQ2 .

  m=y2−y1x2−x1=17314−185382004−2009=−1224−5=244.8

So, the slope of the secant line PQ2 is equal to 244.8.

Simplify the slope of the secant line PQ3 .

  m=y2−y1x2−x1=18328−185382008−2009=−210−1=210

So, the slope of the secant line PQ3 is equal to 210.

Therefore, the slopes of the secant line PQi for i=1,2,3 are 313.86, 244.8 and 210 respectively.

Answer to Problem 51RE

The average rate of change in the population of the given data is 244,800.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The table given below shows the population of Florida in several years:

    Population of Florida
    YearPopulation(in thousands)
    200016,047
    200216,341
    200417,314
    200618,019
    200818,328
    200918,538

The point P represents the points corresponding to 2009, Q1 the point corresponding to 2002, Q2 the point corresponding to 2004 and Q3 the point corresponding to 2008.

Calculation:

The slopes of the secant line PQi for i=1,2,3 are 313.86, 244.8 and 210 respectively. The average rate of change in the population of the given data is 244,800.

Therefore, the average rate of change in the population of the given data is 244,800.

Answer to Problem 51RE

The instantaneous rate of change of population on July 1, 2009 is 210,000.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The table given below shows the population of Florida in several years:

    Population of Florida
    YearPopulation(in thousands)
    200016,047
    200216,341
    200417,314
    200618,019
    200818,328
    200918,538

Calculation:

The slope of the secant line from year 2009 to 2000 is 210. The average rate of change in the population of the given data is 210,000.

Therefore, the instantaneous rate of change of population on July 1, 2009 is 210,000.

(e)

To determine

To find: The estimated population of Florida in 2020.

(e)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 51RE

The estimated population of Florida in 2020 is 442738.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The table given below shows the population of Florida in several years:

    Population of Florida
    YearPopulation(in thousands)
    200016,047
    200216,341
    200417,314
    200618,019
    200818,328
    200918,538

Calculation:

Consider that the population growth is liner function. The formula for a linear equation in slope-intercept form is:

  y=mx+c

The required equation is:

  y=210x+18538

Substitute 2020 for x in the above equation to find the population in 2020,

  y=210(2020)+18538=442738

Therefore, the estimated population of Florida in 2020 is 442738.
