There are 20 alligators in the swamp. Each year, the number of alligators increases by 25%. There are 25 crocodiles in the swamp. Each year, 10 new crocodiles join the swamp.

Part A: Write functions to represent the number of alligators and crocodiles in the swamp throughout the years. (4 points)

Part B: How many alligators are in the swamp after 4 years? How many crocodiles are in the swamp after the same number of years? (2 points)

Part C: After approximately how many years is the number of alligators and crocodiles the same? Justify your answer mathematically. (4 points)

Answers

Answer 1
Part A: f(x)=(5)x+20(alligators) and f(x)=(10)x+25(crocodiles)

Part B: f(x)=(5)(4)+20(alligators) and f(x)=(10)(4)+25(crocodiles)
Alligators: 40 and Crocodiles: 65

Part C: None because the rate of the alligators won't catch up with the rate of crocodiles.
Answer 2

Part A: Alligators: [tex]\(A(t) = 20 \times (1 + 0.25)^t\), Crocodiles: \(C(t) = 25 + 10t\).[/tex]

Part B: After 4 years: Alligators: ~38, Crocodiles: 65.

Part C: Alligators and crocodiles equal: Solve [tex]\(20 \times (1 + 0.25)^t = 25 + 10t\).[/tex]

Part A:

Let's define the functions to represent the number of alligators and crocodiles in the swamp over the years.

For alligators:

[tex]\[A(t) = A_0 \times (1 + r)^t\][/tex]

Where:

[tex]- \(A(t)\) is the number of alligators in the swamp after \(t\) years.\\- \(A_0\) is the initial number of alligators (20 in this case).\\- \(r\) is the growth rate per year (25% or 0.25).\\- \(t\) is the number of years.[/tex]

For crocodiles:

[tex]\[C(t) = C_0 + n \times t\][/tex]

Where:

[tex]- \(C(t)\) is the number of crocodiles in the swamp after \(t\) years.\\- \(C_0\) is the initial number of crocodiles (25 in this case).\\- \(n\) is the number of new crocodiles joining each year (10 in this case).\\- \(t\) is the number of years.[/tex]

Part B:

To find the number of alligators after 4 years, we use the formula:

[tex]\[A(4) = 20 \times (1 + 0.25)^4\][/tex]

To find the number of crocodiles after 4 years, we use the formula:

[tex]\[C(4) = 25 + 10 \times 4\][/tex]

Part C:

To find when the number of alligators and crocodiles are the same, we set [tex]\(A(t) = C(t)\) and solve for \(t\).[/tex]

[tex]\[20 \times (1 + 0.25)^t = 25 + 10 \times t\][/tex]

This equation can be solved numerically to find the value of \(t\) when the number of alligators and crocodiles are the same.

Stephen wants to use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem to determine the relationships on his map. He knows the angle between the park, the bus stop, and his home. Which other angle does he need to know?

Select one:
a. Bus stop, park, and his friend's house
b. Bus stop, park, and his home
c. His friend's house, grocery store, and his home
d. Park, his home, and grocery store

Answers

I think the answer would be C

Answer:

C. His friend's house, grocery store, and his home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Proportionality Theorem-

If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides of the triangle, then the line divides these two sides proportionally.

So if the line joining the park, bus stop and friend's house, grocery store will be parallel, Stephen can use triangle proportionality theorem.

When two lines are crossed by another line i.e the transversal, the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles. And when the corresponding angles are equal then the two lines are parallel.

The corresponding angle of the angle between the park, the bus stop, and his home is the angle between his friend's house, grocery store, and his home.

Therefore, he needs to measure that angle.

Answers

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.
The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent.
Just like the bottom left angle measures x, the bottom right angle also measures x.

x + x + 38 = 180

2x + 38 = 180

2x = 142

x = 71
If both side are the same then the angles are the same. Now knowing that the sym of a triangle is 180 degrees then we can now subtract 38 to get 142 and then divide 142 by 2 which is 71 so that means each of the other two angles is 71 degrees and your answer is A.

When the winner crosses he finish line where will the other girl be?

Answers

Andrea will be at 95 meters and Sula would win I think.

On the second day, Andrea will still win by 0.026 seconds and the other girl will be at 99.75 meters on the track.

What is a unitary method?

A unitary method is a mathematical way of obtaining the value of a single unit and then deriving any no. of given units by multiplying it with the single unit.

Given, Andrea and Sula ran a race on a track that was 100 meters long.

Let us assume that Andrea completed the 100m race in 10 secs.

∴  Andrea's speed is (100/10) = 10m/sec.

Also given that Sula was exactly 5 meters behind her.

∴ In 10 secs she completed 95 meters, and her speed is

= (95/10) = 9.5m/sec.

The next day they ran another race and Andrea agreed to start 5 meters behind the starting line and both the girls run at the same speed,

∴  Andrea has to run 105 meters, so she'll complete the race in

(105/10) secs.

= 10.5 secs.

Sula has to run only 100 meters, so the time needed for her to complete is,

= (100/9.5) secs.

= 10.526 seconds.

So, on the next day, Andrea will win again by (10.526 - 10.5) secs

= 0.26 secs.

∴ When the winner crosses the finish line the other girl will be,

(10.5×9.5) meters = 99.75 meters on the track.

Determine the n-intercept of the graph of the graph of the car value equation v= -1385n + 18,790

Answers

-1385N + 18,790  = 0
n  = -18790  / -1385 =  13.57 to nearest hundredth

Answer:

13.57

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation [tex]v=-1385n+18,790[/tex], which represents the value of a car. We are asked to find the n-intercept of our given equation.

We know that the n-intercept will be at [tex]v=0[/tex].

[tex]0=-1385n+18,790[/tex]

Subtracting 18,790 from both sides of our equation we will get,

[tex]0-18,790=-1385n+18,790-18,790[/tex]

[tex]-18,790=-1385n[/tex]

Now, we will divide both sides of our equation by [tex]-1385[/tex].

[tex]\frac{-18,790}{-1385}=\frac{-1385n}{-1385}[/tex]

[tex]13.566787=n[/tex]

[tex]n\approx 13.57[/tex]

Therefore, the n-intercept of our given graph is approximately 13.57.

How many complex roots does the polynomial equation have?

3x5−2x+1=0

Answers

Answer : The given polynomial equation can have 0,2 or 4 complex roots.

Explanation:-

Given polynomial equation is [tex]3x^5-2x+1=0[/tex] which is a polynomial of degree 5.

We know that the complex roots always occur in pair ,therefore the number of complex roots in any polynomial must be an even number but less than equal  to the degree of polynomial.

Thus, the given polynomial equation has 4 complex roots.

Answer:

The polynomial equation have 4 complex roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a polynomial equation as:

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

clearly the polynomial equation is a equation of degree 5 hence, the polynomial equation has atmost 5 roots.

Now we find the roots of the equation by it's graph.

we could clearly see that the graph ofthe function passes through the point (-1,0). hence -1 is the root of the polynomial equation, other than this point the graph does not touches or pass through the x-axis.

Hence, the other four roots of the polynomial equation are complex.

Hence, the polynomial equation has 4 complex roots.

members of the wide waters club pay 105 dollars per summer season, plus 9.50 each time they rent a boat. Nonmembers must pay 14.75 each time they rent a boat. How many times would a member and a non-member have to rent a boat in order to pay the same amount?

Answers

When handling problems of this nature make sure you setup the equations. 
x = number of times they rent a boat. 

Members 
Cost = 105 + 9.50x
Non members because members don't have to pay the 105 we leave it out. 
Cost = 14.75x 

so now to determin when cost would be equal we set the two equations = to each other

105 + 9.50x = 14.75x 

now solve for x 

105 = 5.25x
 
20 = x 

so they would have to rent 20 times to equal each other. 

When multiplying integers, if there is an odd number of negative factors, then the product is?

Answers

when multiplying integers that include negative factors the product is always negative. 

negative x positive = negative 

Answer:

  The product of an odd number of negative factors is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor -1 can be factored from any negative number. Then the product of some number of negative numbers is the product of that number of positive numbers and -1 raised to that power.

An even power of -1 is 1.

An odd power of -1 is -1. So, the product of an odd number of negative factors is negative.

Comment on this result

This is helpful to remember when considering the solutions to polynomial inequalities. Once the factored form of the polynomial is found, the solution will depend on the signs of the factors. For example, consider ...

  (x +4)(x -2)(x -3) < 0

The zeros of these factors are -4, 2, 3. At each of these values of x, the sign of one of the factors will change. For x<-4, all three factors are negative, so the inequality is true. For -4<x<2, only two of the factors are negative, so the inequality is false. For 2<x<3, one of the factors is negative, so the inequality is again true. For 3<x, all factors are positive, so the inequality is false. Then the solution is (x < -4) ∪ (2 < x < 3).

See the graph for a plot of this polynomial and the solution to the inequality.

In a class of 80 students, 42 received a grade of

42 received an A
 so 40-42 = 38 did not

the fraction would be 38/80, divide both numbers by 2

38/80 reduces to 19/40 did not receive an A

Final answer:

Out of 80 students, 38 did not receive an A, resulting in the fraction who did not receive an A being 19/40 after simplifying.

Explanation:

In a class of 80 students, if 42 received a grade of A, then the number of students who did not receive an A is the total number of students minus the number who did receive an A. So, 80 students − 42 students = 38 students. The fraction of the class that did not receive an A is 38 out of 80, which can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.

Therefore, the reduced fraction is 19/40.

The fraction of the class that did not receive an A is 19/40 which, if we converted into a percentage, would be 47.5%.

A staircase handrail is made from congruent parallelograms. in parallelogrampqrs, pq = 17.5, st = 18, and m∠ qrs = 110° . find m∠ pqr.

Answers

Final answer:

To find angle PQR in a parallelogram, we can use the Exterior Angle Theorem. By subtracting the measures of the other two angles in triangle QRS from 180 degrees, we find that angle PQR is 70 degrees.

Explanation:

To find the measure of angle PQR, we can use the fact that opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent. This means that angle PQR is equal to angle STQ. Since STQ is an exterior angle of triangle QRS, we can use the Exterior Angle Theorem to find its measure by subtracting the measures of the other two angles in the triangle from 180 degrees.

Given that angle QRS is 110 degrees, we can find angle STQ by subtracting the measures of angles QRS and QSR from 180 degrees:

angle STQ = 180 - (110 + 180) = -110 degrees

However, angles cannot have negative measures, so we need to find the equivalent positive measure. Adding 180 degrees to -110 degrees gives us angle STQ = 70 degrees. Therefore, angle PQR is also equal to 70 degrees.

The path of the rock can be modeled by the equation y = -0.005x 2 + 0.41x - 5.1, where x is the horizontal distance of the rock, in feet, from Landon and y is the height, in feet, of the rock above the ground. How far horizontally from Landon will the rock land?

The rock will hit the ground when y=0, so we need to solve this equation for its roots. To do that, we set it equal to 0:

Divide everything by -0.005 to clear out the decimals:

Now use the quadratic formula:
[tex]x=\frac{82 \pm \sqrt{82^2-4*1020}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=15.29[/tex] or [tex]x=66.71[/tex]
