The number of months until the insect population reaches 40 thousand is 14.29 months and the limiting factor on the insect population as time progresses is 250 thousands.

Given that population P(t) (in thousands) of insects in t months after being transplanted is P(t)=(50(1+0.05t))/(2+0.01t).

(a) Firstly, we will find the number of months until the insect population reaches 40 thousand by equating the given population expression with 40, we get

P(t)=40

(50(1+0.05t))/(2+0.01t)=40

Cross multiply both sides, we get

50(1+0.05t)=40(2+0.01t)

Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac, we get

50+2.5t=80+0.4t

Subtract 0.4t and 50 from both sides, we get

50+2.5t-0.4t-50=80+0.4t-0.4t-50

2.1t=30

Divide both sides with 2.1, we get

t=14.29 months

(b) Now, we will find the limiting factor on the insect population as time progresses by taking limit on both sides with t→∞, we get

\begin{aligned}\lim_{t \rightarrow \infty}P(t)&=\lim_{t \rightarrow \infty}\frac{50(1+0.05t)}{2+0.01t}\\ &=\lim_{t \rightarrow \infty}\frac{50(\frac{1}{t}+0.05)}{\frac{2}{t}+0.01}\\ &=50\times \frac{0.05}{0.01}\\ &=250\end

(c) Further, we will sketch the graph of the function using the window 0≤t≤700 and 0≤p(t)≤700 as shown in the figure.

Hence, when the population P(t) (in thousands) of insects in t months after being transplanted by P(t)=(50(1+0.05t))/(2+0.01t) then the number of months until the insect population reaches 40 thousand 14.29 months and the limiting factor on the insect population is 250 thousand and the graph is shown in the figure.

In ABC,if sin A=4/5 and tan A=4/3, then what I s cos A?
Svet_ta [14]
Cos(A) will be 3/5 Cos(A) is adjacent/hypotenuse. So here we have sin(A)=opp/hyp which is 4/5 and tan(A)=opp/adj which is 4/3. So cos(A) is adj./hyp and knowing the previous 2 terms of sin(A) and cos(A), you can go ahead and find Cos(A). So cos(A) is 3/5

Evaluate. 102+6⋅7+8 70142150190
Aloiza [94]
Hi.

102+6(7)+8  (your equation)
102+ 42+ 8  (since the order is PEMDAS, multiplication has to go first. 6x7=42
144 + 8        (since you go left to right, 102 +42 has to be 1st. Answer= 144)
152              (now the only thing left is 144 + 8, so do that. Answer= 152.)

Since that's the last step, 152 will be your answer. 

Hoped I helped and if you need anymore you could always ask me~
