If the growth rate is 0.469 per member per day and in the beginnning there are 5 members then the population size after eight days is 108.42.

Given growth of population of protozoa 0.469 per member per day and population in beginninng is 5 members.

We have to find the population afte eight days.

First of all we have to find the function or equation showing sum of population after t days.

Because it is given that the rate is 0.469 per member per day it means it is like compounding.

The equation which shows the sum after compounding is P $(1+r)^{n}$

where P is the amount in beginning, r is the rate and n is the number of years.

In this problem the equation will be 5 $(1+0.469)^{t}$ where t is number of days.

We have to put the value of t=8 to find the population after 8 days=

=5 $(1.469)^{8}$

=5*21.68

=108.42

Hence the population of protozoa after 8 days is 108.42.

A lender will make an 80% loan-to-value loan on a property that is appraised for $72,250 and sells for $73,500. If the buyer has

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$1,250

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Loan to value ratio;LTV = 80% = 0.8

Appraised value of property = $72,250

Selling value of property = $73,500

Now, the formula for Loan to value ratio is;

LTV = Loan amount/Appraised value of property

0.8 = loan amount/72250

Cross multiply to get;

Loan amount = 0.8 × 72250 = $57,800

Now,we are told that he has saved $14,450.

Thus, total money raised including loan = $57,800 + $14,450 = $72,250

Since the selling value = $73,500, then,

Amount left for him to save in order to make down payment = $73,500 - $72,250 = $1,250

PLEASE HELP I AM SO STUCK. IT IS DUE ~TOMORROW.

Answer:

$A(\triangle ABC) = 7.2\: units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

C = (0, 7)

Since, point A lies on y-axis, so it's x coordinate will be zero. Line y = 2x + 1 passes through point A.

Therefore, plug x = 0 in y = 2x +1, we find:

y = 2*0 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1

Hence, coordinates of point A are (0, 1).

Now, by distance formula:

$AC= \sqrt{(0-0)^2 +(7-1)^2}$

$AC= \sqrt{(0)^2 +(6)^2 }$

$AC= \sqrt{0 +36 }$

$AC= \sqrt{36 }$

$AC= 6\: units$

Length of perpendicular CB dropped from point C (0, 7) to line y = 2x + 1 or 2x - y + 1 = 0 can be obtained as given below:

$CB =\frac{|2\times 0+(-1)\times 7+1|}{\sqrt {2^2 +(-1)^2} }$

$CB =\frac{|0-7+1|}{\sqrt {4 +1} }$

$CB =\frac{|-6|}{\sqrt {5} }$

$CB =\frac{6}{2.24}$

$CB =2.68\: units$

By Pythagoras Theorem:

$AB=\sqrt{AC^2 - CB^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{6^2 - (2.68)^2}$

$AB=\sqrt{36 - 7.18}$

$AB=\sqrt{28.82}$

$AB=5.36842621\: units$

$AB\approx 5.37\: units$

$A(\triangle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} \times AB\times CB$

$A(\triangle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5.37\times 2.68$

$A(\triangle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} \times 14.3916$

$A(\triangle ABC) = 7.1958$

$A(\triangle ABC) = 7.2\: units^2$
