In what way did the American Revolution affect other countries?

The formula for the area A of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 h(b1 + b2), where h is the height and b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases. Solve the formula for b1. Justify each step. Then find the length of one of the bases of the trapezoid when the area of the trapezoid is 91 square meters, the height is 7 meters, and the length of the other base is 20 meters.

The product ofthree integers with spacing of 5 between them (e.g., 9, 14, 19) is 10,098. Using MATLAB's built-in function for operations with polynomials, determine the three integers.

The demand for water during a fire is often the most important factor in the design of distribution storage tanks and pumps. For communities with populations less than 200,000, the demand Q (in gallons/min) can be calculated by:

$$Q = 1020 \sqrt { P } ( 1 - 0.01 \sqrt { P } )$$

where P is the population in thousands. Set up a vector for P that starts at 10 and increments by 10 up to 200. Use element-by -element computations to determine the demand Q for each population in P.
