a .
To find: is the population of Italy increasing or decreasing.
a .
Answer to Problem 62E
Increasing
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The population P (in millions) of Italy from 2003 through 2015 can be approximated by the model
Where t represents the year, with
The graph of the equation
By looking at the graph it is clear that the population of Italy increasing.
b.
To find: the populations of Italy in 2003 and 2015.
b.
Answer to Problem 62E
Population of Italy in 2003 is nearly 58.5 million.
Population of Italy in 2015 is nearly 62.2 million.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The population P (in millions) of Italy from 2003 through 2015 can be approximated by the model
Where t represents the year, with
The population of Italy in 2003 is found by substituting
Thus, population of Italy in 2003 is nearly 58.5 million.
The population of Italy in 2015 is found by substituting
Thus, population of Italy in 2015 is nearly 62.2 million.
c.
To find: the populations of Italy in 2020 and 2025.
c.
Answer to Problem 62E
Population of Italy in 2020 is nearly 63.8 million.
Population of Italy in 2025 is nearly 65.4 million.

- Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lbarrow_forwardAn airplane flies due west at an airspeed of 428 mph.
