MHB Computation based on linear growth

AI Thread Summary
The company experienced linear growth in its customer base, increasing from 300 customers in 2000 to 1200 customers in 2015. To find the number of customers in 2008, the growth rate can be calculated based on the time frame and total increase. The correct number of customers in 2008 is indeed 780. The calculation involved is algebraic rather than calculus-based. Understanding linear growth is essential for accurate customer projections.

In 2000 the company had 300 customers. In 2015, this company already had
1200 customers. How many customers did the company have in 2008 if we know that
the number of customers growing is linear?Just want to make sure, is 780 the correct answer?

yes ... and this calculation is algebra, not calculus.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
