The population of a hornet nest experienced growth at a 20% monthly rate, compounded
continuously. At the end of a 5 month period, the population reached a size of 815
hornets.
Assuming that every month has 30 days, how many hornets were in the nest at the
beginning of the 5 months according to the exponential growth function? Round your
answer to the nearest whole number, and do not include units.

Answers

Answer 1

Using an exponential function, it is found that at the beginning, there were 328 hornets.

An increasing exponential function has the following format:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, there is a growth of 20%, hence [tex]r = 0.2[/tex].

After 5 months, the size is of 815, hence, when [tex]t = 5, A(t) = 815[/tex], and this is used to find A(0).

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]

[tex]815 = A(0)(1 + 0.2)^5[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = \frac{815}{(1.2)^5}[/tex]

[tex]A(0) = 328[/tex]

At the beginning, there were 328 hornets.

Segments BF, CD, and AE are medians for triangle ABC. Point K is the intersection of all three medians. The measure of segment FK is 3.40 cm and segment EK = 1.63 cm. Find the sum of the lengths of segments AK and BK.

Answers

The point of concurrency of the three median is the centroid of the triangle ABC.

The sum of the lengths of AK and BK is 10.06

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The medians of the triangle ABC = Segments BF, CD, and AE

The  length of segment FK = 3.40

Length of segment EK = 1.63

Required:

The sum of the lengths of segment AK and BK

Solution:

The ratios of the lengths of AK to KE = 2:1

Therefore, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{AK}{KE} = \dfrac{2}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{AK}{1.63}}[/tex]

1.63 × 2 = 1 × AK

AK = 3.26

Similarly, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{BK}{KF} = \dfrac{2}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{BK}{3.40}}[/tex]

3.40 × 2 = BK

6.80 = BK

Which gives;

AK + BK = 3.26 + 6.80 = 10.06

The sum of the lengths of AK and BK = 10.06

What is the surface area of a rectangular brick with a length of 12 in, a width of 8 in, and a height of 6 in?

Answers

Answer:

We can apply the formula for surface area of a rectangular prism here. i.e.

Step-by-step explanation:

A=2(l×w + h×l + h×w), where l is length, h is height and w is width.

As mentioned above, length = 12 cm, width = 8 cm and height = 6 cm.

Therefore

2(12×7+6×12+6×8)=2(84+72+48)=2(204)=408. So the surface area of the brick is 408 square centimetres.

(3) -(2):

-4x +6y -(-4x +5y)= 6 -1

A plant measures 10 cm and increases in height by .02 percent each day, upon conclusion it measures 11.04 cm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function?

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer should be: the rate of change is 1 cm per 2 weeks, or 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I found a graph with the same problem, so I guess this is the graph to be based on. To find the rate, just determine the slope between any two points along the line. Suppose these points are: (30,10) and (50,20).

Slope = (20 - 10)/(50 - 30) = 1/2

Given the zeros of the function f (x) = x4 + 3x3 – 28x², identify whether the zero is a bounce or
cross.

Answers

Assuming the function is

f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3-28x^2

Factorising, we get

f(x) = x^2(x+7)(x-4)

Therefore, there is a double root at x = 0 and singular roots at x = -7 and 4

double roots tend to bounce, kind of like the standard quadratic y = x^2

singular roots tend to cross, kind of like a straight line on a graph, y = mx + b

Therefore, it bounces at x = 0, and crosses at x = -7 and 4

In general, a root raised to an even power bounces, and a root raised to an odd power crosses.
