Population dynamics must consider the number of individuals that are lost per unit of time, also called the mortality rate.

Mortality, or mortality, is a measure of the number of deaths (generally or due to a particular cause) in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population per unit of time.

The relative incidence of deaths in a particular population over a particular time period. Often expressed as the rate of human deaths or wildlife deaths from environmental hazards during a public health crisis. The highest mortality rate for patients over the age of 80 was during the last flu season.

Linda purchased a used vehicle that depreciates under a straight line method. The initial value of the car is $7000, and the sal

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The value at the end of year 2 is $4400.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best approach here is to determine the expression for the line depreciation and then calculate the depreciation value at x = 2 years.

A line is given by

$y = mx + b$

where m is the slope and b the bias (aka y-intercept). You can determine both directly from what is given. The slope is change in y divided by change in x. We know that over 5 years the car loses (500-7000)=-6500 in value. So, the slope is m=-6500/5 (note the negative sign). At time 0, the y-intercept is 7000, since that is the initial value (at year 0). So our line function is fully identified:

$y = -\frac{6500}{5}x+7000$

and gives you the value of the car in any given year. To answer the question, we now plug in 2 as value of x:

$y=-\frac{6500}{5}\cdot 2 + 7000= 4400$

The distance traveled, in feet, of a ball dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 16t2 where d equals the

nignag [31]

Assuming that by "16t2" you mean $16t^2$ :

First of all, let's compute the position at the two required times:

$d(2)=16\cdot 2^2 = 16*4 = 64$

$d(5)=16\cdot 5^2 = 16*25 = 400$

So, the ball traveled a total distance of $\Delta d = 400-64 = 336$ , during the time $\Delta t = 5-2 = 3$ .

The average rate of change is the ratio between these two:

$\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} = \frac{336}{3} = 112$

11. What is the location of the vertex of the parabola defined by f(x) = −3x2 − 18x − 35 and in what direction does the parabola

lbvjy [14]

11. The given parabola has equation: $f(x)=-3x^2-18x-35$

We complete the square to have the function in the vertex form: $f(x)=-3(x^2+6x)-35$

$f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+3*9-35$

$f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+27-35$

$f(x)=-3(x+3)^2-8$

The vertex is (-3,-8), the graph opens down because a=-3<0

Ans: B. Vertex: (−3, −8), opens downward

12. We know the graph of $y=x^2$ is a parabola that opens up and has its minimum point at the origin.

The range of this function is $y\ge 0$

A straight line that has its y-intercept below the x-axis (y=3x-6) will not intersect $y=x^2$ and hence will form a system with no solution.

Ans: D. y equals x squared, y equals 3x minus 6

14. We want to find the zeros of $x^2+21x=5x-63$

$x^2+21x-5x+63=0$

$x^2+16x+63=0$

The factored form is $(x+7)(x+9)=0$

$x=-7\:or\: x=-9$

Ans: C. x = −7, −9

15. The given quadratic expression is $6x^2-17x+10$

We split the middle term to obtain:

$6x^2-12x-5x+10=0$

We factor by grouping to get:

$6x(x-2)-5(x-2)=0$

$(x-2)(6x-5)=0$

Ans: D. 6x − 5

What is the equivalent factored form of 12x^4-42x^3-90x^2

Tanzania [10]

Factor the following:
12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2

Factor 6 x^2 out of 12 x^4 - 42 x^3 - 90 x^2:
6 x^2 (2 x^2 - 7 x - 15)

Factor the quadratic 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15. The coefficient of x^2 is 2 and the constant term is -15. The product of 2 and -15 is -30. The factors of -30 which sum to -7 are 3 and -10. So 2 x^2 - 7 x - 15 = 2 x^2 - 10 x + 3 x - 15 = x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
6 x^2 x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3)

Factor 2 x + 3 from x (2 x + 3) - 5 (2 x + 3):
Answer: 6 x^2 (2 x + 3) (x - 5)
