On August 21, 2009, the World Health Organization announced its prediction that the number of new cases of H1N1 (swine flu) virus would double every 4 days for several months. As of July 27, 2009, the number of new cases was 15,784. Determine the instantaneous growth rate for the virus (rounded to the nearest ten-thousandths).

  growth rate = 0.1733 per day, or 17.33% per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the doubling time is 4 days, the growth factor over a period of t days is ...

  2^(t/4)

Then the growth factor for 1 day is

  2^(1/4) ≈ 1.189207

The instantaneous growth rate is the natural log of this:

  ln(1.189207) ≈ 0.1733 . . . per day

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.
