R is the eighteenth letter of the modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English ( / ˈ ɑr /) is pronounced ar, plural ars; its name in Hiberno-English is or ( / ˈ ɔr /).

History

Egyptian hieroglyph tp Proto-Semitic R Phoenician resh Etruscan R Greek Rho Later Etruscan R

The original Semitic letter was probably inspired an Egyptian hieroglyph for "head", pronounced t-p in Egyptian, but it was used for /r/ by Semites because in their language, the word for "head" was Rêš (also the name of the letter). It developed into Greek Ρ ῥῶ (Rhô) and Latin R. It is likely that some Etruscan and Western Greek forms of the letter added the extra stroke to distinguish it from a later form of the letter P.

The minuscule (lower-case) form of r developed through several variations on the capital form. In handwriting it was common not to close the bottom of the loop but continue into the leg, saving an extra pen stroke. The loop-leg stroke shortened into the simple arc used today. Another minuscule, r rotunda (ꝛ), kept the loop-leg stroke but dropped the vertical stroke, although it fell out of use around the 18th century.

What are the maximum and minimum possible values for the magnitude of R?
Q. Two vectors, A and B, are added by means of vector addition to give a resultant vector R: R = A + B. The magnitudes of A and B are 5 m and 7 m, respectively, and they can have any orientation. What are the maximum and minimum possible values for the magnitude of R?

A. maximum value = 7 m + 5 m = 12 m minimum value = 7 m 5 m = 2 m

What was r and the rate of population increase in 1959?
Q. By 1959 the human population had reached 2,907,000,000 and was rapidly increasing at that time. On a world-wide basis, the birth rate was 36 per thousand persons per year and the death rate was 19 per thousand per year. What was r and the rate of population increase in 1959?
Asked by unknown - Thu Feb 11 19:48:39 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. i'm assuming r is the growth factor. at 36 births and 19 deaths per thousand, then in 1959, population was growing by a factor of r = 1 + (36 - 19 )/1000 = 1.017/yr. (= 1.7%) at that rate, population would double each ~41.2 years. r^n = 2; so n ln r = ln 2; then n = ln 2 / ln r = 41.19. actual increase in 1959 was 2,907,000,000 x (r-1) = 49,419,000 (births minus deaths)
