A rare species of insect was discovered in the rain forest. In order to protect the species,
environmentalists declare the insect endangered and transplant the insects into a protected area.
The population of the insect t months after being transplanted is given by P(t).
P(t) =
60(1+0.4)
0.01t+3
a. How many insects were discovered? In other words, what was the population when t = 0?
b. What will the population be after 5 years? Round to the nearest whole insect.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the given function, it is found that:

a) 20 insects were discovered.

b) The population after 5 years will be of 417 insects.

What is the function for the number of insects after t months?

As stated in the exercise, it is given by:

[tex]P(t) = \frac{60(1 + 0.4t)}{0.01t + 3}[/tex]

Item a:

[tex]P(0) = \frac{60[1 + 0.4(0)]}{0.01(0) + 3} = \frac{60}{3} = 20[/tex]

20 insects were discovered.

Item b:

5 years = 60 months, hence:

[tex]P(60) = \frac{60[1 + 0.4(60)]}{0.01(60) + 3} \approx 417[/tex]

The population after 5 years will be of 417 insects.

A triangle has an area of 54 m² and a height of 9 m.

How long is the base of the triangle?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

base = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of triangle is calculated using the following formula:

1/2*b*h (b: base, h: height)

The area and height is given, to find the base we can make the following equation:

1/2*b*9 = 54

9b/2 = 54 multiply both sides by 2

9b = 27 divide both sides by 9

b = 3

The radius of Circle A is 4 cm. The radius of Circle B is 4 cm greater than the radius of Circle A. The radius of Circle C is 5 cm greater than the radius of Circle B. The radius of Circle D is 3 cm less than the radius of Circle C. What is the area of each circle? How many times greater than the area of Circle A is the area of Circle D?

*There are 4 parts*

Answers

Answer:

the area for

a=16pi or 50.26548...

b=64pi or 201.061329...

c= 169pi or 530.929158...

d=100pi or 314.159265

d is 19.7392088... or 6.25pi times greater than a

Step-by-step explanation:

the decimal values are more accurate for the d is greater than circle a

so you start with a=4 in radius then b=a+4, c=b+5, d=c-3

then solve the equation a=4, b=8, c=13, d=10

then you solve for the area using the formula radius squared pi

getting the answers above

as for the second answer you would divide d to a getting the amount of times more above for circle d and circle a

So these two angles are actually the same. Since the lines l and m are parallels and those angles are opposite from each other, they are the same.

This means you can solve for x by saying:

3x-63 = 2x+2

x = 65

#7

Since the l and m are parallels, and the angles are NOT opposite, when you add the two angles together, you should get 180 degrees

So:

(2x + 20) + (6x + 24) = 180

x = 17

Jill leaves work from the High School, but has to pick up her friend at the airport before going back home. What is the shortest distance she can travel?

A. 27 miles
B. 21 miles
C. 56 miles
D. 84 miles

Answers

Answer:

  B.  21 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest overall route will be the sum of the shortest routes between way points.

The shortest route from the High School to the Airport is the direct route, 15 cm on the map. The shortest route from the Airport to Jill's house is via the High School and City Hall, a total of 15+12+21 = 48 cm on the map.

The shortest distance Jill can travel from work to home via the airport is ...

  (15 cm +48 cm)/(3 cm/mi) = 21 miles

How to identify a null polynomial

In this question we must analyze a null polynomial and determine three unknown variables. A null polynomial is those whose coefficients are equal to zero.

Therefore, we must resolve the following system of linear equations:

3 · n - 9 = 0   (1)

m - 2 = 0       (2)

p + 7 = 0       (3)

The solution of this system of linear equations is: n = 3, m = 2, p = -7. The value of n is 3, value of m is 2 and the value de m + n + p is -2. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

AA culture started with 4000 bacteria. after 5 hours it grew to 4800 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 15 hours. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. p=ae^kt

Answers

Answer:

p = 6912 after 15 hoursp = 4000·e^(0.036463t)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to model the growth of a population of bacteria using an exponential function. We find it convenient to use an "exact" exponential function that relies directly on the numbers given in the problem statement. That function has the form ...

  p(t) = (initial population) × (growth factor)^(t/(growth period))

where the "growth factor" is the multiplying factor of the population in period "growth period."

__

Exponential Function (1)

Here, the "growth factor" is 4800/4000 = 1.2, and the corresponding "growth period" is 5 hours. Then the population function can be ...

  p(t) = 4000×1.2^(t/5)

__

Population

The population after 15 hours is ...

  p(15) = 4000×1.2^(15/3) = 4000×1.728

  p(15) = 6912

__

Exponential Function (2)

To change this to the form ae^(kt), we find the value of k to be ...

  k = ln(1.2^(1/5)) = ln(1.2)/5 ≈ 0.036463

Then the desired form of the function for p is ...

  p(t) = 4000·e^(0.036463t)

_____

Additional comment

In the form p=ae^(kt) the value of k is often rounded to 3 or 4 decimal places. We believe that best accuracy is obtained if k has at least the number of significant digits expected in the answer. Here, the population of almost 7000 has 4 significant digits, so we choose to express k to 5 significant figures. That still gives a small error relative to the first formula that is only "corrected" by rounding the result to an integer.
