Suppose that poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by 6​% per year. Further suppose that when the population o

f this animal falls below 20​, its extinction is inevitable​ (owing to the lack of reproductive options without severe​ in-breeding). If the current population of the animal is 1500​, when will it face​ extinction? Comment on the validity of this exponential model.

If poaching reduces the population of an endangered animal by 6% and the criteria of population extinction is 20 with present population 1500 then it will take 3.62 years to reach to the mark of extinction.

Given Poaching reduces the population of endangered animals by 6% per year. The criteria of population extinction is 20. Present population being 1500.

Number of years taken by the population of endangered animals to reach to 20 mark can be calculated as under:

20=1500*(1-0.06)^{n}

20=1500*0.94^{n}

20/1500=0.94^{n}

0.133=0.94^{n}

take log both sides

log(0.133)=log0.94^{n}-------1

log(0.133)=nlog (0.94)

put the values log values:

log(0.133)=-0.8761

log(0.94)=-0.0268

Taking 1

-0.8761=n*(-0.0268)

n=0.8761/0.0268

n=3.269

Hence to reach level of 20 the population takes 3.2 years.

It x, y, and z are positive intergers and 3x = 4y = 7z, then the least possible value of x + y + z is???
Dmitry [639]

3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y)  = 0\end{cases}  \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z =  \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61

Write the explicit rule,
meriva

Answer:

a_{n} = 20n + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = 52 - 32 = 72 - 52 = 92 - 72 = 20

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 32 and d = 20, thus

a_{n} = 32 + 20(n - 1) = 32 + 20n - 20 = 20n + 12

Hi, I am new to this website :) I'm currently taking an online trig class on De Moivre's theorem and I don't understand it at al
Vladimir [108]
De Moivre's theorem uses this general formula z = r(cos α + i<span> sin α) that is where we can have the form a + bi. If the given is raised to a certain number, then the r is raised to the same number while the angles are being multiplied by that number.

For 1) </span>[3cos(27))+isin(27)]^5 we first apply the concept I mentioned above where it becomes

[3^5cos(27*5))+isin(27*5)] and then after simplifying we get, [243 (cos (135) + isin (135))] 

it is then further simplified to 243 (-1/ √2) + 243i (1/√2) = -243/√2 + 243/<span>√2 i
and that is the answer.

For 2) </span>[2(cos(40))+isin(40)]^6, we apply the same steps in 1)

[2^6(cos(40*6))+isin(40*6)],

[64(cos(240))+isin(240)] = 64 (-1/2) + 64i (-√3 /2)

And the answer is -32 -32 √3 i

Summary:
1) -243/√2 + 243/√2 i
2)-32 -32 √3 i

What is k+3 3/4 = 5 2/3 - 1 1/3
zhenek [66]
K+3 3/4=5 2/3-1 1/3
k+3 3/4=4 1/3
lets find the lcm first then multiply both sides by it but first change it to improper fraction
LCM is  12

[k+15/4]=[13/3]12
12k+45=52
12k=7
k=7/12
