The population of an endangered squirrel is decreasing at a rate of 0.75% per year. There are currently
about 200,000 of these squirrels. This is represented by the equation, s = 200,000(0.9925" in which s is the
number of squirrels at any given point in time. How many squirrels will there be in 25, 50 and 100 years?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There will be approximately 165,689, 137,264, and 94,207 squirrels in 25, 50, and 100 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Decay Function

The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.

An exponential decaying function is expressed as:

[tex]s(t)=s_o\cdot(1-r)^t[/tex]

Where:

s(t) is the actual value of the function at time t

so is the initial value of s at t=0

r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal

The population of squirrels is decreasing at a rate of r=0.75% = 0.0075. The initial number of squirrels is so=200,00. The exponential model for this situation is:

[tex]s(t)=200,000\cdot(1-0.0075)^t[/tex]

[tex]s(t)=200,000\cdot(0.9925)^t[/tex]

Where s is the number of squirrels at any time t.

We are required to find the number of squirrels in:

t=25 years. Substitute in the formula:

[tex]s(25)=200,000\cdot(0.9925)^25[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]s(25)\approx 165,689[/tex]

t=50 years. Substitute in the formula:

[tex]s(50)=200,000\cdot(0.9925)^50[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]s(50)\approx 137,264[/tex]

t=100 years. Substitute in the formula:

[tex]s(100)=200,000\cdot(0.9925)^100[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]s(100)\approx 94,207[/tex]

There will be approximately 165,689, 137,264, and 94,207 squirrels in 25, 50, and 100 years respectively.

Answers

I’m pretty sure for the second one you have to subtract 34 from 180 because all the angles in a triangle equal to 180. We know that the two angles are the same because of the hash marks. So 180-34= 146. Then, divide 146 by two because there are two equal angles left: 146/2=73. And that’s your answer. Oh also a tip: remember that those angles are acute which means they are less that 90 degrees

The sum of the digits of a given two digits the new numbers is 5 .if the digits are reversed, the new number is reduced by 27 . find the given number ​

Answers

Answer:. The numbers are 41 and 14

Step-by-step explanation: X and Y represent the digits. In the Tens place, the digit has 10× its base value. Therefore we can set up equations to model the information given:

10x+y = 10y + x +27

X + Y = 5

y =5-x rewritten to substitute for y

10x + 5-x = 10(5-x)+x +27

Distribute and then combine like terms:

9x +5 = 50 - 9x +27

Add 9x to both sides; subtract 5 from both sides.

9x +9x = 50+27-5

18x = 72 Combine like terms. Then divide both sides to solve for x.

x = 4

4+y=5 Substitute 4 for x; solve for y.

y=1

Substitute values of x and Y into the original equation and check.

40 +1 = 10 +4 + 27

41 = 14+ 27

True! 41=41

The numbers are 41 and 14.

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of x

Let’s start by looking at the point U

Now, we can see angles on a straight line at that point

Mathematically, angles on a straight line are supplementary

What this mean is that they add up to 180

Now, the value of the angle that falls into the triangle on that straight line will be;

180-(11x + 12)

Now, we have all the angles of the triangle

Mathematically, the sum of all is 180 as the a sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

5x + 10 + 58 + 180-(11x+2 )= 180

5x + 10 + 58 -11x-2 = 0

-6x+ 66 = 0

6x = 66

x = 66/6

Tell whether the triangle is right or not

Answers

Answer: Solved below...

Answer: Yes, that is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To tell whether this is a right triangle or not you use a^2 + b^2= c^2

c is the hypotenuse the hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle. A and B can be either of the triangles sides.

To get this answer: 80^2+39^2 = 89^2

6400 + 1521 = 7921

7921=7921  

Since they are the same this IS a right triangle. Here is a little help for if the a question asks if you have a right acute or obtuse. To tell if you have an acute triangle the sign will be a greater than sign for ex) 180 > 169. If you have a obtuse triangle the sign would be a less than sign for ex) 120 < 200.

Here is a problem like that if you do not understand:

6^2 +12^2 = 13^2 ( remember c is the hypotenuse)

36+144= 169

180 > 169

The three angles of a triangle measure x+37, 90, and x+67. Find the measurement of the smallest angle in degrees.
Please help!!!

Answers

Answer:

The first angle is the smallest

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Angle 1= x+37

Angle 2= 90

angle 3= x+67

We know that the sum of angle in a triangle is 180

so

x+3+90+x+67= 180

collect like terms

2x+160= 180

2x=180-160

2x= 20

divide both sides by 2

x= 10

Step two:

so

Angle 1= 10+37= 47 °

Angle 2= 90= 90

angle 3= 10+67= 77 °

In quadrilateral PQRS, the exterior angle at Q measures 155 and PS = QR. What measure of ∠PSR would confirm that PQRS is a parallelogram?

Answers

Answer:

The measure confirming that PQRS would be 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easier if you draw it down.

1. We need to make this shape a parallelogram and the way we will do that is by making angle Q and angle S the same, because in parallelograms those opposite angles are required to be the same.  

                             \

                        155 \

P \ -------------------------\ Q

    \                         25 \

      \                               \     so that's your shape  

   S   \______________\ R

2.We were given that the exterior angle of Q measures 155, and since exterior and interior angles combined make 180, then we can assume that the interior angle of Q is 25.

3. As mentioned before, in a parallelogram, opposite angles are the same and  therefore PSR (which is just asking for the middle letter, S) is equal to 25 because Q is also 25.

A piece of wood is 0.9 metres long.
It is cut into three unequal pieces.
The first piece is 0.2 metres longer than the second piece.
The third piece is 23 hundredths of a metre shorter than the second piece.
How long is each piece of wood?

Answers

Answer:

The length of the first piece is 0.51 m

The length of the second piece is 0.31 m

The length of the third piece is 0.28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a simultaneous equation with word problem

The total length of the wood = 0.9 m

The number of pieces the wood is cut into = 3

The length of the first piece = 0.2 m + The length of the second piece

The length of the third piece = The length of the second piece - 0.23 m

Let "y" represent the length of the second piece, let "x" represent the length of the first piece, and let "z" represent the length of the third piece, we have;

x = 0.2 + y...(1)

z = y - 0.23...(2)

x + y + z = 0.9...(3)

Therefore, by substitution, we have;

0.2 + y + y + y - 0.23 = 0.9

3·y - 0.03 = 0.9

3·y = 0.9 + 0.03 = 0.93

y = 0.93/3 = 0.31

y = 0.31

The length of the second piece = y = 0.31 m

From equation (1), we have;

x = 0.2 + y = 0.2 + 0.31 = 0.51

x = 0.51

The length of the first piece = x = 0.51 m

From equation (2), we have;

z = y - 0.23

z = 0.51 - 0.23 = 0.28

z = 0.28

The length of the third piece = z = 0.28 m.

- you pick 1 set of points (I chose (8,8) to finish the problem)
8(y-intercept)= 2(slope) • 8(x-intercept) +b
8= 16+b
-16 -16 (subtract 16 from both sides)
-8 (8-16) =b {b=-8)

Mark wants to continue using whole liters of paint and thinks he can create a mixture of green paint the is 38 liters. Evaluate Mark's thinking using mathematical reasoning.

The ratio from blue to yellow paint is 2:3
I need helpppppp ASAP

Answers

Answer: It's not possible to create 38 liters of green paint with whole liters of blue and yellow paint.

======================================================

Explanation:

The ratio of blue to yellow is 2:3. We have 2 parts blue and 3 parts yellow.

Multiply both parts by x to get 2x:3x

We have 2x parts of blue paint, and 3x parts of yellow paint.

x is some positive whole number.

In total, we have 2x+3x = 5x liters of paint. Set this equal to 38 and solve for x to get

5x = 38

x = 38/5

x = 7.6

We don't get a whole number, which contradicts how we set up x earlier. This must mean that Mark must use a fractional liters, instead of whole liters.

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

Here's another way to look at it:

Lets say he uses 2 liters of blue and 3 liters of yellow. This mixes to 2+3 = 5 liters of green.

Now let's say he uses 4 liters of blue and 6 of yellow. I multiplied both parts by 2. This mixes to 4+6 = 10 liters of green.

We continue this process to get the following

6 liters of blue + 9 liters of yellow = 15 liters of green8 liters of blue + 12 liters of yellow = 20 liters of green10 liters of blue + 15 liters of yellow = 25 liters of green12 liters of blue + 18 liters of yellow = 30 liters of green14 liters of blue + 21 liters of yellow = 35 liters of green16 liters of blue + 24 liters of yellow = 40 liters of green

As you can see, we don't land on 38 liters of green. We can get to 35 liters or 40 liters, but not 38. Each of the amounts of green are a multiple of 5.

This is confirmation that Mark will have to use some fractional amount of liters of blue and yellow paint.
