An endangered whale species has a population of 6000. Biologists estimate that the stock is decreasing at 3% per year. At this rate, approximately how many years will it be before only 60% of the species remains?
A 9.0 years
B 9.6 years
© 10.0 years
D 16.8 years

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D.  16.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier each year is 1-3% = 0.97, so the multiplier after x years is 0.97^x. You want to know the value of x when that multiplier is 60%, or 0.60.

  0.97^x = 0.60

  x·log(0.97) = log(0.60) . . . . . . take logarithms

  x = log(0.60)/log(0.97) ≈ 16.8

At the given rate, it will be 16.8 years before 60% of the species remains.

Answer:

Variables

Any lowercase letter may be used as a variable.

Exponents

Exponents are supported on variables using the ^ (caret) symbol. For example, to express x2, enter x^2. Note: exponents must be positive integers, no negatives, decimals, or variables. Exponents may not currently be placed on numbers, brackets, or parentheses.

Parentheses and Brackets

Parentheses ( ) and brackets [ ] may be used to group terms as in a standard equation or expression.

Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction

For addition and subtraction, use the standard + and - symbols respectively. For multiplication, use the * symbol. A * symbol is not necessary when multiplying a number by a variable. For instance: 2 * x can also be entered as 2x. Similarly, 2 * (x + 5) can also be entered as 2(x + 5); 2x * (5) can be entered as 2x(5). The * is also optional when multiplying with parentheses, example: (x + 1)(x - 1).

Order of Operations

The calculator follows the standard order of operations taught by most algebra books - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction. The only exception is that division is not currently supported; attempts to use the / symbol will result in an error.

Division, Square Root, Radicals, Fractions

The above features are not supported.

Use the commutative or associative property to simplify the expression.

What is the range of the function y=*/x+8?
-00 -8 osy<00
2 sy<00

Answers

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-∞, ∞) is the range of the function y = f(x) = x/2 + 8.

What is a function?

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.

The function y = f(x) = x/2 + 8 is a linear function with slope 1/2 and y-intercept 8.

As x varies from negative infinity to positive infinity, the value of f(x) also varies from negative infinity to positive infinity.

Therefore, the range of the function is all real numbers, that is:

y ∈ (-∞, ∞)

In interval notation, this can be written as (-∞, ∞)

Hence, (-∞, ∞) is the range of the function y = f(x) = x/2 + 8.

which linear inequality is represented by the graph?​

Answers

Answer:

y ≥ [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine the slope of the line. We can see that the slope is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex], because the slope has less than 1 y interval per every x interval. This means that the line is less steep. There are only 2 slope choices, [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex], -[tex]\frac{1}{3}\\[/tex], and 3. We can tell that the slope is positive, but it must be [tex]\frac{1}{3}\\[/tex] because it is clearly less steep than a 3 slope line.

Now, look at the portion that is shaded. It is above the line, and this means that y is greater than the equation given. We can tell it is greater than or equal to, because the line that represents the equation is shaded as well. If it was only greater than and not equal to, the line would not be shaded.

Oscar walked at the same rate for 10.5 miles. He
completed his walk in 3 hours. What was Oscar's
rate, in miles per hour, during his walk?

Answers

Answer:

Oscar walked at the same rate for distance D =  10.5 miles.

He  completed his walk in time T = 3 hours.

=>Oscar's rate, in miles per hour, during his walk:

R = D/T = 10.5/3 = 3.5 (mile/hour)

Hope this helps!

:)

10.5 divided by 3 = 3.5 (rate)

If you have how many miles he walked and the time he completed it in; you can just divide the miles by the time to get the rate of how fast he walked those miles. This is because you have an overall mile rate and time you just need to figure out how many miles per hour which is why you divide. Think of it as a ratio 10.5:3 vs 3.5:1. Try to get the right side of the ration down to 1 by dividing both sides by the right side.

Work out her mark on the fifth test.

Answer:

The answer is 88.

Step-by-step explanation:

68+81+74+89+x/5=80

312+x/5=80

312+x=80*5

312+x=400

x=400-312

x=88

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the total sum of all the marks divided by how many there are.

68+81+74+89=312 Total of 4 tests

80×5 = 400 Total marks on 5 tests

400-312 = 88 Total marks on 5 tests - Total marks on 4 tests = 1 test

2x-10 = y + 20

angles that lie on the same line add up to 180, since alternate angles of parallel lines and a transversal are equivalent

2x + 10 + 2x - 10 = 180

solving the equation with only Xs

4x = 180

x = 180/4 = 45

plug x = 45 into x and y equation

A tree harvester estimates the trunk of a tree to have a height of about 34 meters and a base diameter of about 0.52 meters. The wood of the tree has a density of about 770 kilograms per cubic meter. Find the mass of the trunk. Round your answer to the nearest hundred.

Answers

Answer: 5,559.89 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Mass = π/4 (diameter) ^2 (height) (density)

Replacing with the values given and solving for M (mass)

M = π/4 (0.52) ^2 (34) (770) = 5,559.89 kg.

The mass of the trunk is 5,559.89 kilograms

Which is the graph of the function f(x) = x3 – x2 – 17x - 15?

Answers

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function

[tex]f(x)=x^3-x^2-17x-15[/tex]

We have to find the graph of the given function.

y-intercept:It is that  value of y where the graph cut the y- axis.

Let

[tex]y=f(x)=x^3-x^2-17x-15[/tex]

Substitute x=0

Then, we get

[tex]f(0)=-15[/tex]

y-intercept of the graph=-15

x- intercept: It is that value of x where the graph cut the x- axis.

Substitute y=0

[tex]x^3-x^2-17x-15=0[/tex]

Substitute x=-1

[tex]-1-1+17-15=0[/tex]

Therefore,x=-1  is a solution of given equation.

[tex](x+1)(x^2-2x-15)=0[/tex]

[tex](x+1)(x^2-5x+3x-15)=0[/tex]

[tex](x+1)(x(x-5)+3(x-5))=0[/tex]

[tex](x+1)(x+3)(x-5)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=-1,-3,5[/tex]

Hence, the x-intercept are

-3,-1 and 5
