Often scientists use rate of change equations in their study of population growth for one or more species. In this problem we study systems of rate of change equations designed to inform us about the future populations for two species that are either competitive (that is both species are harmed by interaction) or cooperative (that is both species benefit from interaction. Which system of rate of change equations below describes a situation where the two species compete and which system describes cooperative species? Explain your reasoning.

a. dx/dt= -5x + 2xy
b. dx/dt= 4x-2xy
c. dy/dt= -4y + 3xy
d. dy/dt= 2y-xy

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a: cooperative.

b: competitive.

c: cooperative.

d: competitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change:

dx/dt

gives information about how the quantity x changes as a function of time.

If dx/dt > 0, the population x increases as the time passes.

if dx/dt < 0, the population x decreases as the time passes.

Now, let's analyze the options:

a) dx/dt= -5x + 2xy

in this case, x represents one population and y represents the other population. Where x and y should only be positive numbers because we can not have a negative population.

Notice that in this case, if y increases, then dx/dt increases.

Then we have cooperative species because the population y helps the growth of population x.

b) dx/dt = 4*x - 2*x*y

Similar to the previous case, but now as the value of y increases, the value of dx/dt decreases, then we have competitive species.

c) dy/dy = -4*y + 3*x*y

Notice that now we have the rate of change of y, in the right side, we can see that as x increases, also the rate of change dy/dt.

Then the population x helps to increase the population y, which means that the species are cooperative.

d) dy/dt = 2*y - x*y

Now as x increases, the value of dy/dt decreases, then these species are competitive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parent function " y = ∛x" we know that the first graph should have a vertical shift down 2 units, and a horizontal shift 4 units to the right. There is no vertical stretch since there is no coefficient. (Check first graph)

Domain: - ∞ < x < ∞

Which set of values for x makes the inequality 12−x<7 true

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\{x:x>5\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]12 - x < 7[/tex]

Required

Values of x that make it true

First: solve the inequality.

[tex]12 - x < 7[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]- x < 7-12[/tex]

[tex]- x < -5[/tex]

Multiply both sides by -1

[tex]-1 * - x < -5 * -1[/tex]

[tex]x > 5[/tex] --- The inequality changes when multiplied by a negative value

So, the solution implies that the value of x is greater than 5 (i.e. 6, 7, 8..)

Hence, the set is:

f(x)=x-7 and g(x)=2x-3
find f(g(4))

Answers

Answer:

f(g(4)) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find g(4) by plugging in 4 as x into the function:

g(x) = 2x - 3

g(4) = 2(4) - 3

g(4) = 8 - 3

g(4) = 5

f(g(4)) can be found by finding f(5), since g(4) = 5

Find f(5) by plugging in 5 into the function:

f(x)= x - 7

f(5) = 5 - 7

f(5) = -2

So, f(g(4)) = -2

Given:

The shape P is mentioned on the graph is translated to shape Q.

So, the shape shifted 7 units to left.

The power, P (watts), of a car engine is proportional to the square of its speed, s (m/s).
When s = 35, P = 1760.
Work out the power (to 1 DP) when the speed is 40 m/s

Answers

Answer:

P = 2288 W

Step-by-step explanation:

The power, P (watts), of a car engine is proportional to the square of its speed i.e.

[tex]P\propto s^2[/tex]

or

[tex]P=ks^2[/tex]

Put s = 35, P = 1760 to find k.

[tex]k=\dfrac{P}{s^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{1760}{35^2}\\\\k=1.43[/tex]

Now put k = 1.43 and s = 40. So,

[tex]P=1.43\times (40)^2\\\\P=2288\ W[/tex]

So, the new power is 2288 W when the speed is 40 m/s.

The solution is?

Answers

Answer:

90 student tickets65 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

For many "mixture" problems, it is convenient to use a variable for the quantity of the highest contributor. Here, we can use 'a' to represent the number of adult tickets, because adult tickets cost the most. Then the number of student tickets is (a+25), and the total revenue is ...

  6a +3(a+25) = 660

  9a +75 = 660

  9a = 585

  a = 65

  (a+25) = 90

The drama class sold 90 student tickets and 65 adult tickets.

Answer:

B) Exp. Decay

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the term getting raised to a power is under 1, the function immediately starts going down and approaches negative infinity as x approaches infinity.

The type of function is f(x)=2(1/7)^x is Exponential Decay, the correct option is B.

What is a function?

Function is a type of relation, or rule, that maps one input to specific single output.

In mathematics, a function is an expression, rule, or law that describes the relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable) (the dependent variable). In mathematics and the physical sciences, functions are indispensable for formulating physical relationships.

Linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line

We are given that;

Function; f(x)=2(1/7)^x

Now,

The function has the form f(x)=abx

where a and b are constants and b is between 0 and 1. In this case, a is 2 and b is 1/7, which is less than 1. This means that the function decreases as x increases.

Therefore, by the given function the answer will be Exponential Decay.

Find an equation of the straight line that is perpendicular to y=2x+1 and passes through the point (-2,5)

Answers

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

to answer this question you need to find the slope and the y-intercept

to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line you take the opposite and reciprocal of the slope of the first line

in this case the slope of the initial line is 2; therefore, the opposite reciprocal is -1/2

knowing slope ('m') = -1/2 and having the point (-2, 5) can give us the y-intercept of the new line; we start with:

y = mx + b  and then plug the values in so find the y-intercept ('b')

5 = (-1/2)(-2) + b

5 = 1 + b

b = 4

put it all together:  y = -1/2x + 4

Katie uses 12 cups of flour and sugar to make cookies. The amount of flour is four more than three times the amount of sugar. How many cups of flour are in this recipe?
The solution is?

Answers

Answer:

146

Step-by-step explanation:

because 3times the cups is 36

so four times more 36

There are 13 cups of flour in this recipe when Katie uses 12 cups of flour and sugar to make cookies. The amount of flour is four more than three times the amount of sugar.

Let's assume the amount of sugar used in the recipe is represented by the variable "s."

According to the given information, the amount of flour used is four more than three times the amount of sugar. In mathematical terms, this can be expressed as:

Flour = 3s + 4

Now, we know that Katie uses 12 cups of flour in the recipe. We can set up an equation to solve for the amount of sugar:

12 = 3s + 4

Subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:

12 - 4 = 3s

8 = 3s

Dividing both sides by 3:

8/3 = s

s = 2.67

Since the number of cups of sugar must be a whole number, we can round the value to the nearest whole number. Thus, s ≈ 3.

Now, we can find the amount of flour by substituting the value of sugar into the equation:

Flour = 3s + 4

Flour = 3(3) + 4

Flour = 9 + 4

Flour = 13

Therefore, there are 13 cups of flour in this recipe.
