The number of trees in a rainforest decreases each month by 0.5%. The forest currently has 2.5 billion trees. Which expression represents how many trees will be left in 10 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Present number of trees = 2.5 billions

Rate of decrease = 0.5% per month

To find:

The expression that represents how many trees will be left in 10 years?

Solution:

Exponential decay model:

[tex]P(t)=a(1-r)^t[/tex]         ...(i)

where, a is initial value, r is decreasing rate and t is time period.

We have,

a = 2.5 billions

r = 0.5% = 0.005 per month

t = 10 years = 120 months                         [1 year = 12 months]

Putting a=2.5, r=0.005 and t=120 in (i), we get

[tex]P(120)=2.5(1-0.005)^{120}[/tex]

[tex]P(120)=2.5(0.995)^{120}[/tex]

[tex]P(120)=1.3699657[/tex]

[tex]P(120)\approx 1.37[/tex]

Therefore, the required expression is [tex]2.5(1-0.005)^{120}[/tex] and the remaining trees after 10 years is about 1.37 billions.

Playing video games helps me if I have a rough time, I started around 2019. I play adventour type video games, not sure if raft counts, but that is a game I play too often with my friends. I think that video games probably could be played in cars as well but I dont know what else it can be or will be played on. Definitely will not be a single platform, people are too greedy everyone wants a better state then others. (not sure if that makes sense)

Solve the following system of equations:
y=2x + 1
y = -x+4

x= ?
y=?​

Answers

Answer:

x= 1, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 2x +1

y= -x +4

Those two equation are in a system that means they need to be true in the same time. Just like I would say look for a car that is red and is a truck in this case we look for x and y is true that y = 2x+1 and is true that y= =x+4.

so y= 2x+1 but y is -x+4 so substitute

-x+4 = 2x +1,  add x on both sides

4= 2x+x +1, subtract 1 from both sides

4-1 = 2x +x, combine like terms

3 = 3x , divide both sides by 3

x=1

if x=1 we substitute in y= -1 +4 = 3

Flying against the wind , an airplane travels 3660 kilometers in 6 hours. flying with the wind , the same plane travels 3800 kilometers in 4 hours. what is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind?​

Answers

Answer:

...

against the wind, an airplane travels 3640 km in 7 hours.

with the wind, the same plane travels 6000 km in 6hrs.

...

let speed of plane in still air be x mph

speed of wind be y mph.

..

t=d/r

..

against wind speed = x-y mph

with wond speed = x=y mph

...

3640/(x-y)=7

3640 = 7x-7y

/7

520=x-y.....................1

...

6000/x+y = 6

6000 = 6x+6y

/6

1000=x+y.....................2

...

Add (1) & (2)

2x=1520

/2

x=760 mph speed of plane in still air

...

plug value of x in 2

1000=760+y

100-760=y

240 = y

240 mph speed of wind

What is the area of the semi circle if the diameter is 10 cm

Answers

Answer:

39.25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a circle is pi x radius x radius.

So to get the radius, you multiply 10 and 1/2.  You should get 5.  Then you multiply 5 by 5.  You should get 25.

Then you multiply 3.14 and 25.  You should get 78.5.

The last step is to divide 2 by 78.5. You should get 39.25

Answer:

39.25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 3.14 x r^2 / 2

if the diameter is 10 then the radius is 5

A = 3.14 x 5^2 / 2

A = 3.14 x 25 / 2

A = 78.5 / 2

A = 39.25

Perimeter of triangle = 2[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] + 2[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] + 3[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{19}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{26}{8}[/tex]

                                  = [tex]\frac{64}{8}[/tex]

                                  = 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

guys please help this is a math question

Answers

Answer:

81.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<G and <H are congruent

<F and <I are congruent

so the last two angles in both triangles must also be congruent

this means that <K and <J are congruent

so we can create this equation: <K = <J

substitute the angles with what we know: 4[tex]y^{2}[/tex] = 6[tex]y^{2}[/tex] - 40

add 40 to both sides and subtract 4[tex]y^{2}[/tex] from both sides: 40 = 2[tex]y^{2}[/tex]

you get: 20 = [tex]y^{2}[/tex]

root square on both sides: [tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{y^{2} }[/tex]

you get: y ≈ 4.5

substitute this into one of the equations for a missing variable:

6[tex]y^{2}[/tex] -----> 6 (4.5 x 4.5) - 40

6 ( 20.25) - 40

121.5 - 40

The area of a rectangle is given by A = L * W, where L is the length and W the width.  

If we factor the given x^2 + 14x + 40, we get (x + 10)(x + 4).  Thus, the width is (x + 4) and the length is (x + 10).

Find the product of ( 2x^2 − 4x + 3 ) ( 3x + 6 ) using the box method shown below. What will the monomial be in the box marked with a B?

Select one:
a. - 12x 2
b. - x 2
c. - x
d. - 12x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]-12x^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the box method as completing a chart or a multiplication table.

We can see that box B is in the second column of the first row. The second column is labeled by -4x. The first row is labeled by 3x. So, in order to fill out box B, you have to multiply -4x and 3x together.

To do so, multiply the terms' coefficients (the numbers in front of the variable). -4 times 3 makes -12. Then, multiply the variables - just keep the variable and add their exponents. x and x both have exponents of one, which makes [tex]x^1^+^1[/tex], resulting in [tex]x^2[/tex]. Put them together and the answer would be [tex]-12x^2[/tex].
