Zoologists are studying two newly discovered species of insects in a previously unexplored section of rain forest. They estimate the current population of insect A to be 1.3 million and the current population of insect B to be 2.1 million. As development is encroaching on the section of rain forest where these insects live, the zoologists estimate the populations of insect A to be reducing at a rate of 3.8% and insect B to be reducing at a rate of 4.6%.

If P represents the population of each species of insect in millions, and t represents the elapsed time in years, then which of the following systems of equations can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal?

Answer:

the  system of equation that  can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal is :

[tex]\begin{cases} {\mathtt{P = 1.3 e^{-0.038 \ t}} & \\ \mathtt{P = 2.1 \ e^{-0.046 \ t}} & \end{cases}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the current population of insect A to be 1.3 million

the current population of insect B to be 2.1 million.

As development is encroaching on the section of rain forest where these insects live, the zoologists estimate the populations of insect A to be reducing at a rate of 3.8% and insect B to be reducing at a rate of 4.6%.

The equation that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal is an equation for exponential decay, which can be represented as follows:

[tex]\mathtt{y = pe^{-rt}}[/tex]

where;

P represents the population of each species of insect in millions

t represents the elapsed time in years

r is the rate of decrease

So, we can have:

[tex]\mathtt{p_1 = 1.3 }[/tex] in million   and  [tex]\mathtt{p_2 = 2.1}[/tex] in million

Also for rate of decrease;

[tex]\mathtt{r_1 = 0.038}[/tex]     and [tex]\mathtt{r_2 = 0.046}[/tex]

Therefore;

the exponential decay for Population of insect A can now be:

[tex]\mathtt{P = 1.3 e^{-0.038 \ t}}[/tex]

the exponential decay for Population of insect B can now be:

[tex]\mathtt{P = 2.1 \ e^{-0.046 \ t}}[/tex]

Hence, the  system of equation that  can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal is :

[tex]\begin{cases} {\mathtt{P = 1.3 e^{-0.038 \ t}} & \\ \mathtt{P = 2.1 \ e^{-0.046 \ t}} & \end{cases}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

I am not good at word problems but I think I found some good examples

Step-by-step explanation:

Durain beans cost $9 per pound and they sold 11 pounds.

Multiply the cost by the amount sold: 9 x 11 = $99

Subtract that from the total sold:

196 - 99 = $97

Now divide the amount left by the cost per pound for Ice cream beans:

97 / 10 = 9.7 pounds.

Answer:

3 - b=12

4- b=14.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the bookshelf=864 square inches

the book shelf is a rectangular prism

if we have height=4b, width=3b, length=b

then the area=length * width

A=(l*w)*2 ( we have 2 shelves)

864=(b*3b)*2

864=6b²

b²=864/6=144

b=√144= 12 inches

4- to cover the sides :

(height * length)*2   ( we have 2 sides)

(4b*b)×2=1600

8b²=1600

b²=1600/8=200

b=√200=14.1

Answer:

Question #3:  b = 12 in

Question #4:  b = 14.1 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see in the image attached the actual proportions that the furniture manufacturer uses to build the furniture in question:

Height = 4 b

Width = 3 b

Depth = b

So for question #3, given that the customer wants a total surface of the shaded shelves to be 864 [tex]in^2[/tex]

we can write that one wants twice the area of each rectangle of width 3 b and depth b to total 864:

[tex]2\,(3b\,*\,b)=864\\6 b^2=864\\b^2=864/6\\b^2=144\\b=12\,\,in[/tex]

Question # 4:

The total lateral surface to be covered by the silk is 1600 [tex]in^2[/tex], therefore if we consider the surface of each lateral plank as:

Area of each lateral plank :

[tex](4b)\,(b) = 4\,b^2[/tex]

Then twice these is: [tex]8\, b^2[/tex]

So we can solve for be requesting that these total surface equal the amount of silk:

[tex]8\,b^2=1600\\b^2=1600/8\\b^2=200\\b=\sqrt{200} \\b\approx 14.1421\,\,in[/tex]

which rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch gives:

What is the width of the rectangle shown below?
4x + 3
A = 8x2 – 10x – 12

Answers

Answer:

2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Given parameters

Area A = 8x2 – 10x – 12

Length of the rectangle = 4x+3

Required

Width of the rectangle.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

8x2 – 10x – 12  = (4x+3)*width

width = 8x2 – 10x – 12 /4x+3

S

Factorizing the numerator

8x² – 10x – 12

= 2(4x²-5x-6)

= 2(4x²-8x+3x-6)

= 2(4x(x-2)+3(x-2))

= 2(4x+3)(x-2)

Width = 2(4x+3)(x-2)/4x+3

Width = 2(x-2)

Width = 2x-4

Hence the width of the rectangle is 2x-4

Answer:

a) m∠BPD = 120°

b) m∠BC + m∠AD = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To solve for question a, we make use of a theorem called the intersecting chord theorem. This states that:

The measure of the angle formed by two chords that intersect inside a circle is the average of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

The Interior angle =( The larger exterior arc + The smaller exterior arcs) ÷ 2

The larger exterior arc (m∠BD) = 170°

The small exterior arc (m∠CA) = 70°

m∠BPD = m∠BD + m∠CA/2

m∠BPD = 170° + 70°/2

= 240°/2

= 120°

b) We are to find m∠BC + m∠AD

The sum of exterior angles in a circle = 360°

360° = m∠BD + m∠CA + m∠BC + m∠AD

360° = 170° + 70° + m∠BC + m∠AD

360° = 240 + m∠BC + m∠AD

360 - 240° = m∠BC + m∠AD

Thererefore,

m∠BC + m∠AD = 120°

Answer:

1. m∠BPD = 120°

2. m∠BC + m∠AD = 120°

Determine which function has a greater maximum value, and provide the ordered pair. Function 1 Function 2 f(x) = −x2 + 4x + 1 Function 1 has the larger maximum at (4, 1). Function 1 has the larger maximum at (1, 4). Function 2 has the larger maximum at (2, 5). Function 2 has the larger maximum at (3, 2).

Answers

Answer:

C: Function 2 has the larger maximum at (2, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two functions, with Function 1 being described by the graph and Function 2 given by the function:

[tex]f(x)=-x^2+4x+1[/tex]

Notice that the leading coefficient of Function 2 is negative. The graph of Function 1 is curving downwards. So, both functions will have maximum values.

Recall that for a parobala, the maximum (or minimum) values is the y-value of the vertex point. So, let's find the vertex for each function.

For Function 1, we can see that the vertex is at (4,1). Thus, its maximum value is y = 1.

For Function 2, we will need to work out the vertex. Recall that the vertex is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle \left(-\frac{b}{2a},f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]

Function 2 is defined by:

[tex]f(x)=-x^2+4x+1[/tex]

Therefore, a = -1, b = 4, and c = 1.

Find the x-coorindate of the vertex:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{(4)}{2(-1)}=2[/tex]

Substitute this back into the function to find the y-coordinate.

[tex]f(2)=-(2)^2+4(2)+1=5[/tex]

So, the vertex of Function 2 is (2,5). Therefore, the maximum value of Function 2 is y = 5.

Since 5 is greater than 1, the maximum value of Function 2 is greater.

The answer is choice C.

Kelsey had $65 to spend on books. Each book cost $5.50, and there was a $7.50 fee for shipping.

The inequality symbol is incorrect because she can spend up to and including $65. The expression 5.50b + 7.5 is correct because $5.50 per book is 5.50b and that is added to the shipping fee of $7.50 to determine the total purchase price. The expression 5.50b + 7.5 is incorrect because $5.50 per book and $7.50 should be combined to $9.50b to determine the total purchase price. The inequality symbol is correct because she cannot spend more than $65.

Pregunta completa:

En una empresa trabajan 60 personas. Usan gafas el 16% de los hombres y el 20% de las mujeres. Si el numero total de personas que usan gafas es 11. ¿Cuantos hombres y mujeres hay en la empresa?

Responder:

Hombres = 25

Mujeres = 35

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado lo siguiente:

Número de personas que trabajan en la empresa = 60

Porcentaje de hombres que usan anteojos = 16%

Porcentaje de mujeres que usan anteojos = 20%

Número total de personas que usan anteojos = 11

Suponga, Número de hombres en la empresa = m

Número de mujeres = número total - número de hombres = 60 - m

Por lo tanto,

16% de los hombres = 0,16 m

20% de mujeres = 0,2 (60 - m) = 12 - 0,2 m

Por lo tanto,

0,16 m + 12 - 0,2 m = 11

- 0,04 m = 11 - 12

-0,04 m = - 1

m = 1 / 0.04 = 25

Por tanto, Número de hombres en la empresa = m = 25

Número de mujeres en la empresa = (60 - m) = (60 - 25) = 35 mujeres

A Food Marketing Institute found that 35% of households spend more than $125 a week on groceries. Assume the population proportion is 0.35 and a simple random sample of 75 households is selected from the population. What is the probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is between 0.36 and 0.42

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is between 0.36 and 0.42 is 0.3115

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can deduce the following;

n = 75

p = 0.35

where q = 1-p = 1-0.35 = 0.65

To compute the probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is between 0.36 and 0.42, we start by calculating the standard deviation of sample proportion.

Mathematically;

Standard deviation of sample proportion = √pq/n

SD = √(0.35)(0.65)/75 = 0.055 which is approximately 0.06

Let’s now compute the z-scores

For 0.36, we have ; (0.36-0.35)/0.06 = 0.01/0.06 = 0.17

For 0.42, we have; (0.42-0.35)/0.06 = 0.07/0.06 = 1.17

So the probability we want to calculate is :

P(0.17<z<1.17) = P(z<1.17) - P(z < 0.17) = 0.8790 - 0.5675 = 0.3115

Calvin has 80 meters of fencing to enclose his rectangular garden. He wants the garden’s length to be 12 meters greater then its width. Find the length and width of the garden.

b) 14m x 26m
c) 12m x 24m
d) 18m x 22m

Pls help!

Answers

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

a because when you divide 80 by 12 you get 28, so then it is 12 x 28m. :/

Answer:

Width  W = 14 m

Length  L = 26 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 80 m = 2L + 2W

L = 12 + W

80 = 2L + 2W

80 = 2(12 + W) + 2W

80 = 24 + 2W + 2W

80 - 24 = 4W

56 = 4W

W = 56 / 4

W = 14 m

L = 12 + W

L = 12 + 14

L = 26 m

check:

80 = 2L + 2W

80 = 2(26) + 2(14)

80 = 52 + 28

80 = 80 ---- OK

Which of the following can be used to express the total area of a figure?

A. (5)(4x)(3x)

B. 12x^2 + 15x

C. (3x + 4x) (5)

D. 3x (4x + 5)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure above is a rectangle

Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question

The total length of the rectangle = 3x

The total width of the rectangle = 4x + 5

So the area of the figure is

A = 3x( 4x + 5)

Expand

We have the final answer as

A = 12x² + 15x

Hope this helps you

Consider an experiment in which a marble is tossed into a box whose base is shown in the figure. The probability that the marble will come to rest in the shaded portion of the box is equal to the ratio of the shaded area to the total area of the figure. If the probability is equal to 3/10, find the positive value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that the marble comes to rest in the shaded region is equal to the ratio of the shaded area to the total area.

Probability 'P' = [tex]\frac{A'}{A}[/tex]

Area of the shaded region (A')= (x + 1)(x + 2)

Total area of the figure (A) = (2x + 1)(3x + 2)

P = [tex]\frac{(x+1)(x+2)}{(2x+1)(3x+2)}=\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

10(x + 1)(x + 2) = 3(2x + 1)(3x + 2)

10(x² + 3x + 2) = 3(6x² + 7x + 2)

10x² + 30x + 20 = 18x² + 21x + 6

(18x² - 10x²) + (21x - 30x) + (6 - 20) = 0

8x² - 9x - 14 = 0

x = [tex]\frac{9\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(8)(-14)} }{2(8)}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{9\pm \sqrt{81+448}}{16}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{9\pm 23}{16}[/tex]

x = -[tex]\frac{7}{8}, 2[/tex]

Therefore, positive value of x = 2 will be the answer.
