Answers

Answer 1

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:

Graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

(h)t = -16t^2 + 80

At time t = 0 the screwdriver is at 0+80 =80 ft

As time increases the height will decrease so we can eliminate graph B

We know this is a downward parabola by the - in front of the t^2 so we can eliminate graph A

We need to find where it meets the x axis

The second leads to a tunnel thatreturns him to his cell after 4 day’s travel. The third door leads to freedom after 1day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors 1,2,and 3with respective probabilities 0.5,0.3, and 0.2, what is the expected number of daysuntil the prisoner reaches freedom?

Answers

Answer:

2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom=E(x)=?

E(x)=x*p(x)

Where x is the number of days and p(x) is the probability associated with them.

X    1    2    3

P(x) 0.5 0.3 0.2

E(x)=1*0.5+2*0.3+3*0.2

E(x)=0.5+0.6+0.6

E(x)=1.7.

Thus, the expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom are 2 days.

width of picture 7 3/5 cm. to fit in the frame the picture cannot be more than 7 3/10 cm. how much should the picture be trimmed

Answers

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

width of picture 7 3/5 cm. to fit in the frame the picture cannot be more than 7 3/10 cm. how much should the picture be trimmed

Given that :

Original Width of picture = 7 3/5 cm

Width required for picture to fit into frame=7 3/10

For picture to fit into frame:

(7 3/5 - 7 3/10) must be trimmed off from the frame.

(7 3/5 - 7 3/10)

(7 - 7) = 0

(3/5 - 3/10)

Taking the L. C. M

(6 - 3) / 10

= 2 / 10

= 1/5

THEREFORE, 1 / 5 of the width should be trimmed in other to ensure the picture fits into the frame.

The base of a right triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 meters per hour and the height is decreasing at a rate of 3 meters per hour. When the base is 9 meters and the height is 22 meters, then how fast is the HYPOTENUSE changing

Answers

Answer:

dL/dt  = - 2,019 m/h

Step-by-step explanation:

L²  =  x²  +  y²   (1)    Where  x, and  y are the legs of the right triangle and L the hypotenuse

If the base of the triangle, let´s call x is increasing at the rate of 2 m/h

then  dx/dt =  2 m/h. And the height is decreasing at the rate of 3 m/h or dy/dt = - 3 m/h

If we take differentials on both sides of the equation (1)

2*L*dL/dt = 2*x*dx/dt  + 2*y*dy/dt

L*dL/dt  = x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt         (2)

When  the base is 9  and the height is 22 according to equation (1) the hypotenuse is:

L = √ (9)² + (22)²       ⇒    L = √565       ⇒  L  = 23,77

Therefore we got all the information to get dL/dt .

L*dL/dt  = x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt

23,77 * dL/dt  = 9*2 + 22* ( - 3)

dL/dt  =  ( 18 - 66 ) / 23,77

dL/dt  = - 2,019 m/h

Using implicit differentiation and the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the hypotenuse is changing at a rate of -2.02 meters per hour.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse h is the sum of the squares of the base x and of the height h, hence:

[tex]h^2 = x^2 + y^2[/tex]

In this problem, [tex]x = 9, y = 22[/tex], hence, the hypotenuse is:

[tex]h^2 = 9^2 + 22^2[/tex]

[tex]h = \sqrt{9^2 + 22^2}[/tex]

[tex]h = 23.77[/tex]

Applying implicit differentiation, the rate of change is given by:

[tex]2h\frac{dh}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Simplifying by 2:

[tex]h\frac{dh}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

The rates of change given are: [tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 2, \frac{dy}{dt} = -3[/tex].

We want to find [tex]\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex], hence:

[tex]h\frac{dh}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]23.77\frac{dh}{dt} = 9(2) + 22(-3)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{18 - 66}{23.77}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = -2.02[/tex]

The hypotenuse is changing at a rate of -2.02 meters per hour.

(2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = - 5 → (1)

5x + 4y = 22 → (2) [ rearranged equation ]

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 3 and adding will eliminate the term in y

8x - 12y = - 20 → (3)

15x + 12y = 66 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y, that is

23x = 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)

5)2) + 4y = 22

10 + 4y = 22 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

Answer:

k = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We can put this into an equation form:

k - 10 = 35

We can solve for k by adding 10 to both sides:

k = 45

Answer:

k-10=35

k=45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write this as an equation.

"10 less than k" means subtract 10 from k.

k-10

"is 35" means equals 35.

k-10=35

If we want to solve for k, we have to get k by itself on one side of the equation.

k-10=35

10 is being subtracted from k. The inverse of subtraction is addition. Add 10 to both sides of the equation.

k-10+10=35+10

k=35+10

k=45

Answers

Answer:

Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle angle A is a right angle so triangle ABC is a right angled triangle.

Opposite side of right angle is hypotenuse. So, CB is hypotenuse.

From figure it is clear that CA is shorter that segment BA.

All angles are congruent to itself. So angle C is congruent to itself.

We know that, if an altitude is drawn from the right angle vertex in a right angle triangle it divide the triangle in two right angle triangles, then given triangle is similar to both new triangles.

So, triangle ABC is similar to triangle DBA if segment AD is an altitude of triangle ABC.

Therefore, the correct option is a.
