The population of insects in an experiment has

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tanya [424]2 years ago
7 0

There are 32 insects in the population after 8 weeks

<h3>How to complete the equation?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Initial value, a = 16
  • Rate, r = 9% or 0.09

Let the number of weeks be x.

So, the future amount is

Future Amount = a * (1 + r)^x

This gives

Future Amount = 16 * (1 + 0.09)^x

At the 8th week, we have:

Future Amount = 16 * (1 + 0.09)^8

Evaluate

Future Amount = 32

Hence, there are 32 insects in the population after 8 weeks

It’s B
If y-x=6
Y +X =_10
then y= 6 + x, instead of y insert this no
6+ x+ x =-10
6 + 2x =-10 then collect like terms
2x =-10-6
2x=-16 then multiple both side by 1/2
X=-8
Y=6+x instead of x insert -8

matrenka [14]

Answer:

4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find how much fits into one inch of soil. We do this by multiplying 4 by 3. This equals 12. For every 12 cubic inches, the soil will be one inch deep. We divide 48 by 12 to see how many inches deep is it. This equals 4. The soil is 4 inches deep.

Find two positive numbers satisfying the given requirements. The product is 432 and the sum of the first plus three times the se
kogti [31]

Answer:

<h3>36 and 12</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two positive integers be x and y.

If their product is 432, then

xy = 432 ......... 1

Also if the sum of the first plus three times the second is a minimum, then;

p(x) = x + 3y

From 1;

y = 432/x ..... 3

Substitute 3 into 2;

p(x) = x+3y

p(x)= x + 3(432/x)

p(x) = x + 1296/x

Since the expression is at minimum when dp(x)/dx = 0

dp/dx = 1 + (-1296)/x²

dp/dx = 1  -1296/x²

0 =  1  -1296/x²

0 = (x²-1296)/x²

cross multiply

0 = x²-1296

x² = 1296

x = √1296

x = 36

Since xy = 432

36y = 432

y = 432/36

y = 12

Hence the two positive numbers are 36 and 12
