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.

Answer:

Point-Slope: y+1=-5/7(x-5)

Slope Intercept: y=-5/7x+ 2 4/7

Standard: -5x+7y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: -5/7

Point slope is when the equation is in y-y1=m(x-x1) form.

I used the point (5,-1) but it really doesn't matter which one

Substitute it into (x1,y1)

y--1=-5/7(x-5)

y+1=-5/7(x-5) **2 minus signs is equal to 1 plus sign**

Slope-intercept is when the equation is in y=mx+b form.

y=-5/7x+b

To solve for b, plug in one of the points (again, I choose to use (5,-1)

(-1)=-5/7(5)+b

-1=-25/7+b is equal to asking -1=-3 4/7+b

b=2 4/7

Standard form is when it is in Ax+By=C

We'll covert from slope intercept to standard: y=-5/7+ 2 4/7

y=-5/7x+ 2 4/7 is the same as y=(-5/7x+ 18/7)

7y=5x+18 **Multiply both sides by 7, the common denominators**

-5x+7y=18 **Subtract 5x from both sides**

Martin has a total of 19 nickels (50.05) and dimes ($0.10) worth $1.65. How many of each type of coin does he have?




can put your work too​

Answers

Answer: 19nickels and 7dimes.

Ps i really don’t know where the 50.05 came from if it is suppose to be there then I really don’t know how to solve this.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so if you know that there are 19nickels, let n=number of nickels.

The number of total coins subtracted by number of nickels will give you number of dimes.

165-number of nickels=number of dimes

Value of dimes=10(number of dimes) or total value of dimes/individual value (10cent)

Then you can substitute total as $1.65 and get the value of nickels by multiplying by 5cent ( my teacher taught me using whole numbers to make it easier so I turned $1.65 to 165 cent). Since the value of the dimes is the value of nickels subtracted from the total, I can subtract 95 from 165 and divide the difference by 10, to get the number of dimes.

5(n)=5(19)=95

(165-95)/10=number of dimes

70/10=7dimes

You can check by multiplying 7x10 and 5x15 again and adding them together to see if they equal 165 cent.

Answers

Simplifying
7y + -4 = 3y + 6

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 7y = 3y + 6

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 7y = 6 + 3y

Solving
-4 + 7y = 6 + 3y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 7y + -3y = 6 + 3y + -3y

Combine like terms: 7y + -3y = 4y
-4 + 4y = 6 + 3y + -3y

Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
-4 + 4y = 6 + 0
-4 + 4y = 6

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + 4y = 6 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 4y = 6 + 4
4y = 6 + 4

Combine like terms: 6 + 4 = 10
4y = 10

Divide each side by '4'.
y = 2.5

Simplifying
y = 2.5

find measure of angle 1

Answers

Just look at the top triangles
Angles in a triangle add up to 180°

To find the angle next to 36°:
It shows that all together its a 90° angle so you do 90-36= 54°

To find the angle next to 88°:
Angles on a straight line add up to 180° so you do 180-88= 92°

You now have the 2 of the angles in the triangle with angle 1

You now add these 2 angles so 54+92= 146°
and as angles in a triangle add up to 180° you do 180-146= 34°

So angle 1 is 34°

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that a² + b² = c². In this case, c would be the hypothenuse or the longest side, which is 10. 8 can be either a or b.

a² + b² = c²

a² + 8² = 10²

a² + 64 = 100

a² = 36

a = √36

a = 6

So, x = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to explain this thoroughly because it seems like you don't have a full understanding of how to do this...practice makes perfect though!

-5+g=-2

The entire point of completing an algebra problem is to find what the variable equals, which means that we need to get the variable by itself. In this case, the variable is g.

The only other thing that is next to g is -5, so we need to add 5 because it is the opposite of subtracting (the sign also always changes when something crosses to the other side of the equation).

-5+g=-2

+5     +5

g=3

This is the solution! I would suggest that you practice these type of small algebra problems if you really don't understand c:
