Scientists studied two animal populations. Function f(x) = 830(0.8)^x models a bear population in a given region x years after the study began. The table models the cougar population in the same region.
Year after study began: 0, 1, 2, 6, 15
Cougar population: 790, 735, 683, 511, 266
In the year the study began, how many more bears than cougars were in the given region.

Answers

Answer 1
Cougar population was 790 at the beginning
 830-790=40
Answer 2

Answer:

There were 40 more bears than cougars when the study started.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

[tex]f(x)=830(0.8)^{x}[/tex]; where [tex]x[/tex] refers to years after the study began, about bear population.Table given is for cougar population.

So, the problem is asking how many more bears than cougars were in the given region. From the table, we know that there where 790 cougar when the study started.

Now, we have to calculate the initial condition of the function, because it's modelling bear population. Initial condition means when the study started, which is when [tex]x=0[/tex].

So, we have:

[tex]f(0)=830(0.8)^{0}=830(1)=830[/tex]

So, there were 830 bears when the study started.

If we compare, we find that there were 40 more bears than cougars when the study started, because 830-790 = 40.

A cylindrical tank standing upright (with one circular base on the ground) has a radius of 1212 cm for the base. how fast does the water level in the tank drop when the water is being drained at 2323 cm33/sec? note that the volume of a cylinder is v=πr2hv=πr2h where rr is the radius of the base and hh is the height of the cylinder.

Answers

To find the rate of change of height with respect to time, we use the formula dh/dt = dV/dt / (πr²) and substitute the given values for the rate of volume change and the radius.

We have the rate of volume change as 23 cm³/sec and the cylinder has a radius of 12 cm. Note that the typo '2323 cm³/sec' and '1212 cm' should be read as '23 cm³/sec' and '12 cm,' respectively.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. To find the rate at which the height h changes over time, we can take the derivative of the volume with respect to time, which gives us dV/dt = πr² dh/dt. We can solve this equation for dh/dt (the rate of change of height with respect to time) by dividing both sides by πr² and substituting the given values. Therefore, dh/dt = dV/dt / (πr²).

Substituting the values, we get:

dh/dt = 23 cm³/sec / (π * (12 cm)²)

Upon simplifying, we will obtain the rate at which the height of the water is decreasing in cm/sec.

Answers

the 3 before the x causes a horizontal compression , the -2 causes a vertical stretch followed by reflection in x axis. Its A

Answer:  A. Horizontal compression by factor 1/3, vertical stretch by factor 2, then a reflection through the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If there is a function, y= a cos bx

Then a shows vertical stretch while b shows horizontal compression.

Here, Given function, y= cos x

After transformation, It is giving y = -2 cos 3x

therefore here is a horizontal compression occurs with factor 1/3.

Also Negative sign shows there also did reflection through x-axis.

And, It also, stretched vertically by factor 2. ( also shown in the below graph)

Thus, Option A) is correct.

Just because F and H are midpoints it means that EO = OG = x

On the other hand
S = OF*OG/2 + OG*OH/2 + OH*OE/2 + OE*OF/2 = 2*x/2 + x*5/2 + 5*x/2 + x*2/2 = 2*x + 5*x = 7*x = 35

A student has some 1 and 5 bills in his wallet. he has a total of 14 bills that are worth 50 how many of each type of bill does he hae

Answers

x = ones

y = fives

x+y = 14 total bills

 rewrite as x = 14-y

1x +5y = 50

1(14-y) +5y = 50

14-1y +5y = 50

14 +4y = 50

4y = 36

 y = 36/4 = 9

 x = 14-y = 14-9 = 5

 9+5 = 14

9x5 = 45 +5x1 = 50

 he had 9 fives and 5 ones

Answer:

There were 5 bills of '1' and 9 bills of '5'.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of '1' bill be x

let the number of '5' bill be y.

Total number of bills = 14

x + y = 14 ..[1]

Worth of 14 bills = 50

So,[tex]x\times 1+y\times 5=\$50[/tex]

[tex]x+5y=50[/tex]..[2]

x + y = 14

x = 14 - y

Putting value of x in [2]:

[tex]14- y +5y=50[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{50-14}{4}=9[/tex]

y = 9

x = 14-y = 14 - 9 = 5

There were 5 bills of '1' and 9 bills of  '5'.

Answer:

c)720

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a set of credit scores is u=690 and o=14.

mean = 690  and standard deviation SD = 14

We use z- score formula

[tex]z=\frac{x-mean}{SD}[/tex]

z= 3.3 given

Plug in the values and find out x

[tex]3.3=\frac{x-690}{14}[/tex]

Multiply 14 on both sides

46.2 = x- 690

Now add 690 on both sides

x= 736.2

Credit score is 720 that comes under 736.2

So answer is 720

A tree casts a shadow of 26 meters when the angle of elevation of the sun is 24°. find the height of the tree to the nearest meter.

Answers

Final answer:

Using the trigonometric tangential function, the height of the tree casting a 26-meter shadow at an angle of elevation of 24° is approximately 11 meters.

Explanation:

The given problem can be solved by applying trigonometric principles, specifically the tangent function. In this case, we know the shadow length (26m) and the angle of elevation of the sun (24°). The height of the tree is the side opposite the angle, and the shadow is the adjacent side. Thus, we can use the tangent equation (Tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent). So, Tan 24° = Height of the tree / 26m. By cross multiplying and evaluating Tan 24°, we get the height of the tree to be approximately 11 meters.

Answers

well you can try rewriting it to this

answer is   d  270

first start of by factoring  and subtracting the 1 into the right side

sin(x)  ( 2 sin (x)  + 1)  = -1  

set each one equal to -1 

sin( x) = -1   and   2 sin (x) +1 =  -1 

                              2 sin (x) = -2
                               sin ( x) = -1 
so therefore we have our final equation

sin ( x )  = - 1  and sin (x) = -1 

so then you look in your unit circle and find what coordinate equals -1 in terms of sin x

Answers

it would be 12.65 dollars because you multiply 11 times 0.15 and add that answer to 11
Compute the tax then add it to the original amount.

Convert the percent into a decimal by moving the % sign two places to the left and making the % sign into a decimal point.

15% = 0.15

0.15 * 11 = 1.65

Now add it back to the original amount.

t=(23+√337)/32

t≈1.29 seconds
Final answer:

Given the provided motion physics model and using the quadratic formula, it is determined that it would take approximately 3.79 seconds for the basketball to go into the hoop after it was thrown.

Explanation:

The subject in consideration here is a problem related to quadratic equations in motion physics. The equation given in the question signifies a model of the height of the basketball as a function of time in the format of a quadratic equation. The equation is h = -16t² + 23t + 7.

With this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula to find the amount of time it takes for the ball to reach the hoop.

Upon using the quadratic formula, two solutions come up, t = 3.79 s and t = 0.54 s. The ball is at a height of 10 m at two times during its trajectory—once on the way up (as it rises) and once on the way down (as it falls). Since the question is about the time the ball goes into the hoop after reaching its maximum height and coming down, the larger value of t (3.79s) is considered as the valid solution.

Therefore, the time it takes for the basketball to go into the hoop after it was thrown is approximately 3.79 seconds which is not an offered option.
