The number of liver transplants performed in a particular country in year x is approximated by f (x )equalsnegative 239.7 plus 2390 ln x where x greater than or equals 5 and xequals5 corresponds to the year 1995. a) Estimate the number of transplants in 2013. b) Find f prime (23 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number of liver transplants performed in a particular country in year x approximated by f (x) = -239.7+ 2390lnx where x≥5. If x = 5 corresponds to year 1995. x will be equivalent to 23 in the year 2013.

a) Number of transplant in 2013 can be gotten by substituting x = 18 into the equation above.

f (x) = -239.7+ 2390lnx

f (23) = -239.7+ 2390ln 23

f (23) = -239.7+ 2390(3.14)

f(23) = 7264.9

The number of liver transplant in 2013 is approximately 7265

b) If f (x) = -239.7+ 2390lnx

f'(x) = 2390 * 1/x

f'(23) = 2390/23

f'(23) = 103.913

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
