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.

Using Pythagorean theorem we are able to solve this problem.

The Pythagorean Theorem basically states that:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse, aka the thing that we are trying to solve for right now.

Substitute these numbers in: 5^2 + 5+2 = c^2

Solve: 50 = c^2

c= sqrt 50

Emelina loaded 96 trucks in 8 hours. At that rate, how many trucks
would she load in 15 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

60 × 8 = 480 (mins)

96 (trucks) = 480 (mins)

÷32 (I got this number by dividing 480 by the desired amount of mins which was 15)

3 = 15

So 3 trucks would have been loaded in 15 mins

A rainwater was 2/3 full of water. After 60 liters of water were used from the barrel, it was 5/12 full. How much water does the barrel hold when full?​

Answers

Answer:  240 liters

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

Work Shown:

x = capacity of barrel in liters

This value of x is some positive real number. It represents the most amount of water the barrel can hold.

The problem states that the barrel is 2/3 full to start with. This means, we start off with (2/3)x liters of water. Then we subtract off 60 of them to get to 5/12 full, meaning we have (5/12)x liters left.

We can form this equation

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

Multiply both sides by 12 to clear out the fractions

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

12*( (2/3)x - 60 ) = 12*(5/12)x

12*(2/3)x - 12*60 = 12*(5/12)x

8x - 720 = 5x

From here we solve for x

8x - 5x = 720

3x = 720

x = 720/3

x = 240

The barrel's full capacity is 240 liters

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

Check:

2/3 of 240 = (2/3)*240 = 160

The barrel starts off with 160 liters of water inside.

We then use 60 of them to be left with 160-60 = 100 liters

Note how 100/240 = (5*20)/(12*20) = 5/12, showing that 100 liters out of 240 total reduces to the fraction 5/12. In other words, when we say "5/12 full" we mean 100 liters full. This helps confirm we have the right answer.

Elise says, "If you subtract 18 from my number and multiply the difference by - 3, the result is
- 33." What is Elise's number?

Answers

Elise's number is 29.

If you think of multiplying a value by -3 to get -33, it would obviously be 11.

So in this case, you would want to add 18 to 11 to get Elise's number, which is 29. Subtracting 18 from 29 would get you back to the value of 11, which you can then multiply it by  -3 again to get -33.

In a system of two linear equations, the lines represented by each equation have the same slope. Which could be the total number of solutions to the system of equation

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations in two variables represents two lines on graph.

When both the lines have same slope, there can be two cases

Same slope with different y-intercepts

When two lines have same slope and different y-intercepts, that means that both lines are parallel and parallel lines have no solution.

Same slope with same y-intercepts

When the slope of both lines is same and the y-intercept is also same, this means that both the equations refer to the same line. This means that the system has infinite number of solutions.
