G: The number of research articles in a prominent journal written by researchers during 1983–2003 can be approximated by U(t) = 4.3e0.4t 0.4 + e0.4t thousand articles per year (0 ≤ t ≤ 20) where t is time in years (t = 0 represents 1983). (a) Find an (approximate) expression for the total number of articles (in thousands) written since 1983 (t = 0). HINT [See Example 5.] (Round your coefficients to two decimal places.) N(t) = (b) Roughly how many articles were written from 1983 to 2003? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Multiply and simplify. (x - 4) (x^2 – 5x – 6) i will mark brainliest if your answer is right. show how you got the answer. if your answer is correct but does not show how you got the answer you will not be marked brainliest.

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.

Given that δabc is similar to δdef, which is a possible trigonometric ratio for ∠d? a) tan d = 24 30 b) tan d = 30 24 c) tan d = 18 24 d) tan d = 24 18
