Question:
Mrs. Galacia is building a chicken farm in 2021 with an initial population of 3750 chickens. The farm grows at a rate of 2.15% annually.
Part (a) Use the exponential growth model to write an equation that estimates the population t years after 2021.
Part (b) Estimate the population of the town in 2036. (I was given an extra step here saying, "Must show plug in step before using calculator")

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]y=3750 \cdot 1.0215^t[/tex]

(where [tex]y[/tex] is the population and [tex]t[/tex] is time in years after 2021)

5159

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a)

General form of an exponential function:  [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

where:

[tex]a[/tex] is the y-intercept (or initial value)[tex]b[/tex] is the base (or growth factor) in decimal form[tex]x[/tex] is the independent variable

If [tex]b > 1[/tex]  then it is an increasing function

If [tex]0 < b < 1[/tex] then it is a decreasing function

We are told that the initial population is 3750.  Therefore, [tex]a=3750[/tex]

We are told that the farm grows at a rate of 2.15% annually.  Therefore, if it grows then every year it is 100% + 2.15% = 102.15% of the previous year.

Convert the percentage into a decimal:

102.15% = 102.15/100 = 1.0215

Therefore, [tex]b=1.0215[/tex]

We are told that the independent variable is [tex]t[/tex] (in years).

Therefore, the equation is  [tex]y=3750 \cdot 1.0215^t[/tex]

(where [tex]y[/tex] is the population and [tex]t[/tex] is time in years after 2021)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part (b)

The year 2036 is 15 years after 2021.  Therefore, substitute [tex]t = 15[/tex] into the equation and solve for [tex]y[/tex]:

[tex]\implies y=3750 \cdot 1.0215^{15}[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=5159.49068...[/tex]

Therefore, an estimate of the population of the town in 2036 is 5159.

2(6x+1)=14x-6

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x=4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2(6x+1)=14x-6[/tex]

→ Expand brackets on left side

[tex]12x+2=14x-6[/tex]

→ Minus 14x from both sides to collect the x terms

[tex]-2x+2=-6[/tex]

→ Minus 2 from both sides to isolate 2x

[tex]-2x=-8[/tex]

→ Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Answers

The mass of the substance left after 12 days is 501.51g.

Data;

Half life = 4 daystime = 12 daysNo = 7600

Half - Life

This is defined as the time taken for the radioactive sample to decay to half it's initial size.

This is given as

[tex]T_\frac{1}{2} = \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}[/tex]

where

λ = disintegration constant

Let's substitute the values and find the disintegration constant

[tex]T_\frac{1}{2} = \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda} \\4 = \frac{0.693}{\lambda} \\\\\lambda = \frac{0.693}{4}\\ \lambda = 0.17325[/tex]

But the value of a radioactive substance present at a given time is

[tex]N_t = N_o e^-^\lambda ^t[/tex]

Let's substitute the values and solve.

[tex]N_t = 7600 e^-^0^.^1^7^3^2^*^1^2\\N_t = 7600 * 0.065988\\N_t = 501.509g[/tex]

Each of the equal sides of an Isosceles Triangle is 4 times the third side. The perimeter of the triangle is 144 inches. Find the sides of the Triangle.

Answers

Answer:

16 + 64 + 64 are the 3 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two sides that are 4 times the third side.

Let the 3rd side = x

4x + 4x + x = 144 inchines

9x = 144 inches

x = 144/9

x = 16 inches.

So the base (which is the smallest side) = 16 inches.

One of the two sides remaining is 4x = 4*16 = 64

The other side = 64

Check

64 + 64 + 16 = 144 as it should.

The equation b + StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction = 2 and StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction can be used to represent this situation, where b is the length of route B. How many miles will Lucas walk if he takes route B?

Answers

Answer:

Lucas will walk [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] miles if he takes route B

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of route A = [tex]2 \frac{1}{8} miles[/tex]

Length of route A [tex]=\frac{17}{8} miles[/tex]

We are given that route A is 3/8 mile longer than route B

Let b be the length of route B

So, [tex]b+\frac{3}{8} =2 \frac{1}{8} \\b+\frac{3}{8} =\frac{17}{8}\\b=\frac{17}{8}-\frac{3}{8}\\b=\frac{14}{8}\\b=\frac{7}{4}\\b=1\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence Lucas will walk [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] miles if he takes route B

True or false: Outliers can cause data sets to be skewed.

Answers

True - since the outlier is way off it will cause your average to mess up which is why we test multiple times to make sure we are more accurate with our numbers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the definition of an outlier is a number farther away from the general populous of digits. For example, a number line can have a lot of numbers clustered at 2, 3, and 4 but might have one way over on 10. This would mean 10 is an outlier.Secondly, a skew is when a dot plot or a box and whisker plot is shaped a certain way. A negative skew would be a graph sloping to the right, and a positive skew is a graph sloping to the left. It looks a bit like a hill.Knowing that the shape is made up of the different numbers and their amount, we can conclude that an outlier, or a number that is stretched far from the others, would affect the data set.This means that the skew might change if there is a variable that is out of place.
