A population of mice is increasing exponentially. On Monday there were 120 mice. One month later there were 132 mice. Write a function to model this situation. Determine the percent increase of the population of mice each month.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]y =120*1.1^x[/tex]

[tex]r = 10\%[/tex] --- Percentage increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]x \to months[/tex]

[tex]y \to mice[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,120)[/tex] --- Monday

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (1,132)[/tex] --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

In [tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,120)[/tex], we have:

[tex]120 =a * 1[/tex]

[tex]120 =a[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]a = 120[/tex]

In [tex](x_2,y_2) = (1,132)[/tex], we have:

[tex]132 = a * b^1[/tex]

[tex]132 = a * b[/tex]

Substitute [tex]a = 120[/tex]

[tex]132 = 120 * b[/tex]

Solve for b

[tex]b = \frac{132}{120}[/tex]

[tex]b = 1.1[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

Hence, the function is:

[tex]y =120*1.1^x[/tex]

To get the monthly percentage increase (r), we have:

[tex]y = a(1 + r)^x[/tex]

Compare to: [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

So:

[tex]1+r =b[/tex]

Make r the subject

[tex]r = b-1[/tex]

[tex]r = 1.1-1[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.1[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]r = 0.1*100\%[/tex]

[tex]r = 10\%[/tex]

You want to buy the largest pizza in Northern Utah. You find a pizza that measures
75.36in around. What is the area that the pizza covers?

Answers

Answer:

451.7in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You first need to determine the radius of the circle. This can be done by taking the circumference and dividing it by 2pi:

[tex]r=\frac{75.36in}{2\pi } = 11.99 in[/tex]

Now that you have the radius, you can plug it into the formula for the area of a circle (this is assuming the pizza is perfectly round):

[tex]A=\pi r^2=\pi (11.99^2)=451.7in^2[/tex]

The area that covers the circular pizza is: 451.64 in.²

What is the Area and Perimter of a Circle?

Area = πr²

Perimeter = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Given the following:

Perimeter of the circular pizza = 75.36 in.

Find the radius:

2πr = 75.36

r = 75.36/2π

r = 11.99 in.

Find the area:

Area = π(11.99)²

Area = 451.64 in.²

B. There is not enough information to determine
C. g(x)

Answers

Answer:

They have no minimum y -value

The minimum value for y belongs to f(x) at x=0 and function f(0)=(-2), Option D is correct.

The given function f(x)= x⁵-2

Differentiating the function we get,

5x⁴=0

x=0

Therefore, f(x)=f(0)=0-2=(-2)

Now function g(x)=3x²+1

Differentiating the function we get,

x=0

Therefore, g(x)=g(0)=0+1=1

Dominic wants to find the distance between his house on one side of the park and his school on the other side. He marks off a third point forming a right triangle, as shown in the diagram. The distances in the diagram are measured in yards. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance from Dominic’s house to the school. Sho

Answers

Answer:

The distance from the house to the school is 500 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance we want to calculate represents the hypotenuse of the right triangle

So, to use the Pythagoras’ theorem, we need the two other side lengths apart from the hypotenuse

The base side measures (350-50 = 300 units)

The measure of the height is (450-50 = 400 units)

Mathematically, the theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus, we have it that;

h^2 = 300^2 + 400^2

h^2 = 90,000 + 160,000

h^2 = 250,000

h = √250,000

h = 500 units

113mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly work out the area of the pink circle using πr^2, which is the area of a process.

So we do πx12^2, which gives us 144π mm we have to divide this by two to get half of a circle hence giving us the area of the semi-circle. 72π mm is the area of the semicircle.

Then we must find the area of the white circle to subtract it from our semicircle. Since we know the radius is 12 from the center to anywhere, we know that the white circles diameter is 12, using our formula for the area all we need to do is πx6^2. This gives us 36π.

72π - 36π = 36π

36π is equal to 113.0973355 and since we need it too 3sf it will be 113mm^2

What is the radius of a hemisphere with a volume of 920 ft^3 to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Answers

Answer:

7.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 pi r^3

A hemisphere is 1/2 of  a sphere

V = 1/2 (4/3 pi r^3)

V = 2/3 pi r^3

920 = 2/3 pi r^3

Multiply each side by 3/2

920 * 3/2 = 3/2 * 2/3 pi r^3

1380 = pi r^3

Divide each side by pi

1380/pi = pi r^3 / pi

1380/ pi = r^3

Using pi as 3.14

1380/3.14 = r^3

439.4904459= r^3

Taking the cube root of each side

(439.4904459)^(1/3)= r^3^(1/3)

7.602967711=r

To the nearest tenth

7.6 = r

Answer:

BC = 17.1

Angle B = 6.7°

Angle C = 83.3°

To find side BC, you use pythagorean’s theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

This gives you 289 + 4 = 293, and you find the square root, which is 17.1.


To find the angle measures you can use tangent, which is opposite sides over adjacent sides. You plug these values into a calculator.

b = tan 2/17 = 6.7°

c = tan 17/2 = 83.3°



Answer:

BC = 17.1

m<B = 6.7 deg

m<C = 83.3 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

Find BC

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

AC^2 + AB^2 = BC^2

2^2 + 17^2 = BC^2

4 + 289 = BC^2

BC^2 = 293

BC = sqrt(293)

BC = 17.1

Find <B

tan B = opp/adj

tan B = 2/17

B = tan^-1 2/17

B = 6.7 deg

Find <C

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

90 + 6.7 + m<C = 180

m<C = 180 - 90 - 6.7

m<C = 83.3

As x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches [negative infinity, positive infinity, zero] and g(x) approaches [negative infinity, positive infinity, zero]. The y-intercept of function f is [equal to, less than, greater than] the y-intercept of function g.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) approaches positive infinity.

g(x) approaches negative infinity.

the y-intercept of f(x) is less than the y-intercept of g(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

the highest power of x in f(x) is 3, and it has a positive sign. so, the bigger x the more the x³ part will dominate.

therefore, with x going to positive infinity, also f(x) goes to positive infinity.

the graph of g(x) clearly dives down never to come back up or flatten out. so, with x going to positive infinity, g(x) goes to negative infinity.

the y-intercept of f(x) = f(0).

that means the functional value when x=0.

so, for x=0 this means

y = 2×0³ - 3×0² + 5×0 + 7 = 7

the graph of g(x) shows that g(0) is 8.

so f(0) is less than g(0).

As x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity and g(x) approaches negative infinity. The y-intercept of the function f is 7 and the y-intercept of function g is 8. #SPJ5
