Lions were introduced in the park in 2010. In 2012, the park has a population of 32 lions. A year later, in 2013, the park has 128 lions. Write an exponential function that models this situation. Let x represent the number of years since 2010 and let f(x)represent the number of lions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2(4^(x))

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2012, the park has a population of 32 lions. A year later, in 2013, the park has 128 lions.

This means in 2012, it was 2^(5) lions while after 1 year it was 2^(7) lions

Thus, it increases every year by a ratio of 2^(2)

Thus, in 2011, it was 2^(5) - 2^(2) = 2^(3) lions

In 2010, it was 2^(3) - 2^(2) = 2

Since Lions were introduced in the park in 2010, using f(x), it means;

at x = 0, f(x) = 2

at x = 1, f(x) = 2^(3)

at x = 2, f(x) = 2^(5)

at x = 3, f(x) = 2^(7)

To find an exponential function that models the situation, let's use the generic formula: y = ab^(x)

At x = 0 and y = 2, we have;

2 = a × b^(0)

Thus,a = 2

At x = 1, y = 2^(3)

Thus; 2^(3) = 2 × b^(1)

b = 8/2

b = 4

So the exponential equation is;

y = 2(4^(x))

Answer 2

You can use the fact that the given figures are expressible as 2 raised to some powers.

The exponential function modeling the number of lions to the years passed since 2010 is given as

[tex]f(x) = 2^{1+2x}[/tex]

What is an exponential function?

Those functions which are expressed as some constant raised to the power of the argument called exponential function.

How to find which function can model the given condition?

Since 2012  - 2010 = 2 and the number of lions = 32 = [tex]2^5[/tex]

and 2013 -2010 = 3 and the number of lions =128 = [tex]2^7[/tex]

Thus, there is increment of 2 exponent as 1 year was changed.

Thus, we have:

[tex]f(x) = 2^{2x + a}[/tex] where a might be some constant( i took this form of exponent just by trial and error. It was already visible that one year was increasing double output, thus 2x and since there was just double increase and no other effect, there might be some non variable thing(a constant) so i thought to try some variable and see if this can work)

Since at x = 2, we get 2 raised to the power 5

thus.

[tex]2(2) + a = 5\\a = 1[/tex]

Thus,

The exponential function modeling the number of lions to the years passed since 2010 is given as

[tex]f(x) = 2^{1+2x}[/tex]

You can see that this will give correct output for x = 2 and x = 3

(5x² + 25x + 30)– (3x² + 6x + 3)

Answers

First multiply the negative sign inside...

(5x^2+25x+30)-3x^2-6x-3
Then collect the like terms and remove rest of the parentheses

2x^2 +19x +27

Notice that the second polynomial is subtracted from the first.

It's important to understand that the minus sign outside the

second set of parenthses can be thought of as a -1.

So we need to distribute the -1 through each of

the terms in the second set of parenthses.

So our problem will now look like 5x² + 25x + 30 - 3x² - 6x - 3.

Now, we combine like terms.

So we have 2x² + 19x + 27.

If y varies inversely as x. Using the coordinates (5, 3) and (x, 2.5), find the missing value x.

Answers

Answer:

(6, 2.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k substitute the coordinate point (5, 3 ) into the equation, that is

3 = [tex]\frac{k}{5}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 5 )

15 = k

y = [tex]\frac{15}{x}[/tex] ← equation of variation

Using (x, 2.5 ) with y = 2.5 , then

2.5 = [tex]\frac{15}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

2.5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 2.5 )

x = 6

Thus point is (6, 2.5 )

Stacey has earned $9 interest over the past 20 months with an initial investment of $150. What is the simple interest rate she is earning? Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. (It wants me to use the formula I=Prt which I don't remember)

Answers

Answer:

3.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are solving the above question, using the simple interest Formula:

I = PRT

Where

I = Interest = $9

P = Principal = $150

R = Interest rate = ??

T = Time in years = 20 months

We convert this to years

12 months = 1 year

20 months = x

x = 20/12

x = 1.67 years

Hence, making R the subject of the formula

R = I/PT

R = 9/150 × 1.67

R = 9/250.5

R = 0.0359281437

Converting to percentage

R = 0.0359281437 × 100

R = 3.59281437%

R = 3.6 %

The simple interest rate she is earning is 3.6%

=> 15x =85= x= 5.6666...

Hey there!

“8x + 7 + 7x – 2 = 90”

• FIRST: COMBINE your LIKE TERMS

(8x + 7x) + (7 – 2) = 90

‘8x + 7x = 15x’

‘7 – 2 = 5x’

“15x + 5 = 90”

NEW EQUATION:

“15x = 85”

• THIRD: DIVIDE by 15 on BOTH SIDES

15x/15 = 85/15

but the first one will be the quickest because all you need to do to find it is just eliminate any term with x in it.

2x^2 when x = 0 is 0

16x when x = 0 is 0.

That only leaves m(0) = 24 found just by looking at it.

A ratio is a way to compare two numbers of the same kind. We use ratios to compare things of the same type. For example the ratio of boys and girls in a class. Ratios as expressed in the form n:m.

There are 36 red shirts, 12 blue shirts, 42 black shirts, and 60 white shirts. It's required to calculate the ratio of black shirts to blue shirts. We'll use fractions to express the relationship. The fraction will divide 42 by 12:

Help pls I don’t remember how to do this so how do u find x, y, and z in this

Answers

Answer: 3) x = 87°; y = 93°; z = 63°

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 33 + 60 = 180 since they form a triangle.

x + 93 = 180

Subtract 93 from both sides

x = 87°

x and y are linear pairs so they're supplementary.

y + x = 180

y + 87 = 180

Subtract 87 from both sides

y = 93°

z + y + 24 = 180 since they also form a triangle

z + 93 + 24 = 180

z + 117 = 180

Subtract 117 from both sides

z = 63°

A train leaves at 0836 and arrives at 1057. It travelled at an average speed of 85 km/h. How far did it travel?

Answers

Answer:

199.75km

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that the time of travel is from

8:36- to 10:57

which is 2 hours 21 minutes

Hence the time taken is 2.35 hours

the speed is 85km/h

Step two:

From the expression

speed= distance/time

85= distance/2.35

distance= 85*2.35

distance= 199.75km

Answer: it traveled a distance of 199.75Km

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question , Let 0836 be 8:36

and 1057 be 10:57

Time of departure= 8:36

Time of arrival = 10:57

Time traveled = 10:57- 08:36= 2 Hours 21 minutes

changing trhe time to hours becomes 21/60 = 0.35 hours + 2 HOURS = 2.35 hours

Step 2

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance = Speed x Time

=85 km/hr x 2.35 hours

=199.75Km
