Answer:

about 520,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Following directions, we evaluate the equation by putting the value where the variable is and doing the arithmetic.

The value of x will be the number of days between May 26 and May 12. That value is ...

x = 26 -12 = 14

Then the number of mosquitos is estimated to be ...

y = 230,000(1.06^14) ≈ 520,008

About 520,000 mosquitos will inhabit the city on May 26.

Additional comment

Typically, an "estimate" is one or two significant figures. So, 520,000 is a reasonable estimate. 520,008 has more precsision than can be justified.

Solve by elimination using subtraction. 2x + y = -5 2x - 5y = 13

spayn [35]

Answer:

(- 1, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = - 5 → (1)

2x - 5y = 13 → (2)

Subtracting (1) from (2) term by term will eliminate the x-0 term

0 - 5y - y = 13 - (- 5) , that is

- 6y = 18 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

y = - 3

Substitute y = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x - 3 = - 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 1

solution is (- 1, - 3 )

Which of the following has a positive value? sec (2pi/3) tan (2pi/3) cos (2pi/3) csc (2pi/3)

Darya [45]

Answer: D) csc (2π/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2π/3 is in Quadrant II

Quadrant II has a negative x-value and a positive y-value.

x-values are: cos & sec

y-values are: sin & csc

tan = y/x so will be negative in Quadrant II

A) sec = -

B) tan = -

C) cos = -

D) csc = + this works!

If h(x)=(fog)(x) and h(x)=³√x+3, find g(x) if f(x) =³√x+2

ipn [44]

Answer:

$g(x)=x+1$

The problem:

Find $g(x)$ if $h(x)=(f \circ g)(x)$ ,

$h(x)=\sqrt[3]{x+3}$ , and

$f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x+2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

$h(x)=(f \circ g)(x)$

$h(x)=f(g(x))$

Replace $x$ in $f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x+2}$ with $g(x)$ since we are asked to find $f(g(x))$ :

$\sqrt[3]{x+3}=\sqrt[3]{g(x)+2}$

$\sqrt[3]{x+1+2}=\sqrt[3]{g(x)+2}$

This implies that $x+1=g(x)$

Let's check:

$(f \circ g)(x)$

$f(g(x))$

$f(x+1)$

$\sqrt[3]{(x+1)+2}$

$\sqrt[3]{x+1+2}$

$\sqrt[3]{x+3}$ which is the required result for $h(x)$ .
