After a shipwreck, 120 rats manage to swim from the wreckage to a deserted island. The rat population on the island grows exponentially, and after 15 months, there are 280 rats on the island.
A. Find a function that models the population t months after the arrival of the rats.
B. What will the population be 3 years after the shipwreck?
C. When will the population reach 2000 rats?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.   [tex]X(T) = 120 (1.058)^T[/tex]

b.   Population after 3 years is 142

c.   50 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Type of growth: Exponential

Initial number of rats = 120

Number of rats (15months) = 280

Solving (a)

Since the growth type is exponential, we make use of the following exponential progression

[tex]X_T = X_0 (1 + R)^T[/tex]

Where Xo is the initial population;

Xo = 125

[tex]X_T[/tex] is the current population at T month

So;

[tex]X_T = 280[/tex]; when [tex]T = 15[/tex]

Substitute these values in the above formula

[tex]280 =120 * (1 + R)^{15}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 120

[tex]\frac{280}{120} =(1 + R)^{15}[/tex]

[tex]2.3333 =(1 + R)^{15}[/tex]

Take 15th root of both sides

[tex]\sqrt[15]{2.3333} =1 + R[/tex]

[tex]1.05811235561 = 1 + R[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides

[tex]R = 1.05811235561 - 1[/tex]

[tex]R = 0.05811235561[/tex]

[tex]R = 0.058[/tex] (Approximated)

Plug in values of R and Xo in [tex]X_T = X_0 (1 + R)^T[/tex]

[tex]X_T = 120 (1 + 0.058)^T[/tex]

[tex]X_T = 120 (1.058)^T[/tex]

Write as a function

[tex]X(T) = 120 (1.058)^T[/tex]

Hence, the function is [tex]X(T) = 120 (1.058)^T[/tex]

Solving (b):

Population after 3 years

In this case, T = 3

So:

[tex]X(T) = 120 (1.058)^T[/tex]

[tex]X(3) = 120 (1.058)^3[/tex]

[tex]X(3) = 120 * 1.18466445254[/tex]

[tex]X(3) = 142.159734305[/tex]

[tex]X(3) = 142[/tex] (Approximated)

Solving (c): When population will reach 2000

Here: X(T) = 2000

So:

So:

[tex]2000 = 120 (1.058)^T[/tex]

Divide both sides by 120

[tex]\frac{2000}{120} = 1.058^T[/tex]

[tex]16.667 = 1.058^T[/tex]

Take Log of both sides

[tex]Log(16.667) = Log(1.058^T)[/tex]

Apply law of logarithm

[tex]Log(16.667) = TLog(1.058)[/tex]

Divide both sides by Log(1.058)

[tex]T = \frac{Log(16.667)}{Log(1.058)}[/tex]

[tex]T = 49.9009236926[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]T = 50\ years[/tex]

Answer:

A. g=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find which choice makes the equation true. Let's plug in each answer choice.

A. g=11

26=7(11-9)+12      

26= 7(2)+12              Solve inside the parentheses.

26= 14+12                 Multiply 7 and 2.

26= 26                      Add 14 and 12.

This answer must be correct, but let's check the other choices .

B. g=12

26=7(12-9)+12      

26= 7(3)+12              Solve inside the parentheses.

26= 21+12                 Multiply 7 and 3.

26≠33                       Add 14 and 12.

This choice is not correct.

C. g= 13

26=7(13-9)+12      

26= 7(4)+12              Solve inside the parentheses.

26= 28+12                Multiply 7 and 4.

26≠40                      Add 28 and 12.

This is also not correct.

D. g= 14

26=7(14-9)+12      

26= 7(5)+12              Solve inside the parentheses.

26= 35+12                 Multiply 7 and 5.

26≠47                       Add 35 and 12.

This choice is not correct either.

The value of g that make the expression 26=7(g-9)+12 a true statement is A. g=11.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We want to get a on one side of the equation all on its own.

Let's flip the equation around so a ends up on the left. Usually variables are supposed to be on the left.

2a-2=u

We add 2 to both sides.

2a=u+2

We divide both sides by 2.

a=(u+2)/2

We divide both u and 2 by 2 so our answer is completely simplified.

a=1/2u+1.

Use the given confidence interval limits to find the point estimate p^ and the margin of error E. 0.325

Answers

Answer:

0.350

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval = point estimate ± margin of error

Point estimate = Confidence interval - margin of error

To get the margin of error, we will take the average of the difference of the interval given. Given the confidence interval 0.325<p<0.375

Margin of error = 0.375-0.325/2

Margin of error = 0.050/2

Margin of error = 0.025

Using the interval of 0.375

Point estimate = 0.375 - 0.025

Point estimate = 0.350

It is never possible for the theoretical and experimental probabilities to be the same. T or F

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Right on Odyssey

It is never possible for the theoretical and experimental probabilities to be the same which is false.

What is probability?

Its fundamental concept is that someone will nearly surely occur. The proportion of positive events in comparison to the total of occurrences.

Then the probability is given as,

P = (Favorable event) / (Total event)

Theoretical and experimental probability can be the same in some circumstances.

For example, the theoretical and experimental chance of rolling a fair six-sided dice and receiving a 3 is 1/6. However, the theoretical and experimental probabilities will differ in many other cases due to factors such as sampling error or differences between the idealized model and the real-world situation.

Thus, the statement is false.

Solution:

Please refer to the attached diagram for the labeling of the points on xy coordinate plane.

We can simply use Distance formula here, to find the distance between two coordinates.

For BC:

The vertical position y (in feet) of a rock t seconds after it was dropped from a cliff is given by the formula y equals short dash 16 t squared plus 4 t plus 380. The base of the cliff corresponds to y equals 0. After how many seconds will the rock hit the ground at the base of the cliff?

Answers

Answer: t = 4.87s

Step-by-step explanation: The vertical position y is given by

[tex]y = -16t^{2}+380[/tex]

If y at the base of the cliff equals 0, then equation is

[tex]-16t^{2}+380=0[/tex]

[tex]-16t^{2}=-380[/tex]

[tex]t^{2}=\frac{-380}{-16}[/tex]

[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{380}{16}}[/tex]

[tex]t=\sqrt{23.75}[/tex]

t = 4.87

Since it is time we want, the negative value of the square root can be ignored. So, at the base of the cliff, the rock will hit the ground after 4.87 seconds.

On a distant planet, a ball is thrown upwards from ground level , reaching a maximum height of 12m and hitting the ground again in eight seconds. Determine a quadratic equation in the form a * x ^ 2 + bx + + c =0 that could be used to calculate when the ball is a height of 3m. Do not solve the equation

Answers

Answer:

(-3 ÷ 4)x^2 + 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Maximum height = 12m

Number of seconds = 8

Height = 3m

Based on the above information, the quadratic equation is as follows

Since it took 8 seconds for reaching the maximum height and then it returned to the ground level so here the highest point is done after 4 seconds also this graph represents the motion in parabola so the a should be negative

Now it is mentioned that

a × x ^ 2 + bx + c =0

We can assume that

x = 0

x = 8

As these {0.8} are intercepts of x

When x = 0, then it would be

a × 0 ^ 2 + b(0)  + c = 0 .................... (i)

Therefore 0 = 0

Now x = 8, it would be

a × 8 ^ 2 + b(8)  + c = 0

Therefore a(8)^2 + b(8) + c =  0 ..................(ii)

As we can see  that in the first equation c should be zero

While the second equation would be

64a + 8b = 0

i.e.

8a = -b or a = -b ÷ 8

Now as per the quadratic function, it appears

(-b ÷8)x^2 + bx + 0

Now the parabola vertex is (4, 12)

Now put this in the place of a

(-b ÷ 8)(4)^2 + b(4) = 12

Now for solving this b, all terms should be multiplied by 8

That comes

-b(16) + 32b = 96

16b = 96

So, b = 6.  

As a = -b ÷8

a = -6 ÷ 8

a = -3 ÷4

Now the equation is

= (-3 ÷ 4)x^2 + 6x

Hence, this is the equation
