A population of insects, in thousands, can be molded using the function (t)= 1.75(0.97)x

Answers

Answer 1

Question:

A population of insects, in thousands, can be modeled using the function

[tex]p(t) = 1.75(0.97)^t[/tex], where t is time in months. Which statement best

describes the population of insects?

A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.

B. The population is decaying at a rate of 25% each month.

C. The population is growing at a rate of 75% each month.

D. The population is growing at a rate of 97% each month.

Answer:

A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p(t) = 1.75(0.97)^t[/tex]

Required

True statement about the function

From the options, we can see that we are to answer the question on the basis of decay and growing rates.

An exponential form is:

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

Compare to [tex]p(t) = 1.75(0.97)^t[/tex]

[tex]b= 0.97\\[/tex]

If [tex]b > 1[/tex], then [tex]b = 1 + r[/tex] r represents growth rate

else, [tex]b= 1-r[/tex] r represents decay rate

Since b < 0.97:

[tex]0.97= 1-r[/tex]

[tex]r = 1 - 0.97[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.03[/tex]

[tex]r = 3\%[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.03[/tex]

Paul is growing a rectangular rose garden. His area is 5x2+ 8x +3. What are the dimensions of his rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Length = 5x + 3[/tex]

[tex]Width = x +1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Area = 5x^2 + 8x + 3[/tex]

Required

Determine the dimensions

To do this, we simply factorize the given expression.

[tex]Area = 5x^2 + 8x + 3[/tex]

Expand

[tex]Area = 5x^2 + 5x +3x+ 3[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]Area = 5x(x + 1) +3(x+ 1)[/tex]

Factor out x + 1

[tex]Area = (5x +3) (x+ 1)[/tex]

Area is calculated as:

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

So:

[tex]Length = 5x + 3[/tex]

[tex]Width = x +1[/tex]

Find the area of the hexagon. i will mark brainliest and pls explain.

Answers

Answer:

C. 150√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the inscribed circle is the apothem of the hexagon.

Apothem (a) and half of the side (s) make a 30-60-90 right triangle.

The ratio of the legs, as per property of 30-60-90 triangle:

s : a = 1 : √3 ⇒ s : 5√3 = 1 : √3 ⇒ s = 5

Half the side is s = 5 units, then side of the hexagon is 10 units.

The area of the hexagon:

A = 1/2Pa, P- perimeter, a- apothemA = 1/2(6*10)*(5√3) = 150√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure if this is right, but all I did was plugged -10 X + 3 into the Y = on my calculator and then graphed and checked the table, I looked at the x value and then the Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation :- y = -10x + 3

1)when x = -5

y = -10x + 3

y = -10 (-5) + 3

= 50 + 3

= 53

2)when x = -1

y = -10x + 3

y = -10(-1) + 3

= 10 + 3

= 13

3) when x = 0

y = -10x + 3

y = -10(0) +3

= 0+ 3

= 3

4) when x = 1

y = -10x + 3

y = -10(1) +3

= -10 + 3

= -7

Your math test has 38 questions and is worth 200 points. The test consists
of multiple-choice questions worth 4 points each and open-ended questions
worth 20 points each. How many of each type of question are there?

... please solve this using if systems of equations

Answers

Answer:

Number of multiple-choice questions = x = 35 questions

Number of open-ended questions = y = 3 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of multiple-choice questions = x

Number of open-ended questions = y

x + y = 38 (1)

4x + 20y = 200 (2)

From (1)

x = 38 - y

Substitute x = 38 - y into (2)

4x + 20y = 200

4(38 - y) + 20y = 200

152 - 4y + 20y = 200

- 4y + 20y = 200 - 152

16y = 48

y = 48/16

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into (1)

x + y = 38

x + 3 = 38

x = 38 - 3

x = 35

Number of multiple-choice questions = x = 35 questions

Number of open-ended questions = y = 3 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

.....................

Answer to equation:

y = 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

for this problem we see that we are starting below 0 and going up to one, all we have to do is solve for the distance between the two numbers, as shown

(-1/3) + 1/3 = 0

0 + 1 = 1

now to simplify, we just add the total amount of change between the two numbers

1/3 + 1 = 1 1/3

NOTE: this can be done by just adding the absolute value of each number if one is a negative number and one is a positive number, wich is basically what i did

-1/3 = |1/3|

1 = |1|

|1/3| + |1| = |1 1/3| or total amount of change

but if you are working with two positive or two negative numbers, then subtract the lesser of the two absolute values as so

-2 + x = -5

-2 = |2|

-5 = |5|

|5| - |2| = |3|

3 = amount of change

3 = x

-2 + -3 = -5
