SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS. A system of equations is a collection of two or more equations with a same set of unknowns. In solving a system of equations, we try to find values for each of the unknowns that will satisfy every equation in the system.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
They have the same amount
Answer: 54.4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the distance to the train station. If it took Carlos 4 hours to come back driving at 68 mph, the distance is:
= Speed * time
= 68 * 4
= 272 miles
This means that Carlos drove for 5 hours to cover 272 miles the first time. His average speed was therefore:
= Distance / time
= 272/5
= 54.4 mph
The answer is a. The rational number 22/9 is equal to 2.¯4.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) dP/dt = kP (1 − P/L)
L is the carrying capacity (20 billion = 20,000 million).
Since P₀ is small compared to L, we can approximate the initial rate as:
(dP/dt)₀ ≈ kP₀
Using the maximum birth rate and death rate, the initial growth rate is 40 mil/year − 20 mil/year = 20 mil/year.
20 = k (6,100)
k = 1/305
dP/dt = 1/305 P (1 − (P/20,000))
(b) P(t) = 20,000 / (1 + Ce^(-t/305))
6,100 = 20,000 / (1 + C)
C = 2.279
P(t) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-t/305))
P(10) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-10/305))
P(10) = 6240 million
P(10) = 6.24 billion
This is less than the actual population of 6.9 billion.
(c) P(100) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-100/305))
P(100) = 7570 million = 7.57 billion
P(600) = 20,000 / (1 + 2.279e^(-600/305))
P(600) = 15170 million = 15.17 billion
