The current population of a threatened animal species is 1.6 million, but it is declining with a half-life of 20 years. How many

animals will be left in 30 years? in 65 years?

It is given that the half-life is 20 years and the current population is 1.6 million.

It is required to find the population in 30 and 65 years, respectively.

Recall the Exponential Decay Half-Life Formula:

N=N_0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{h}}

Where N₀ is the current population, t is the time in years, and h is the half-life.

(a) Substitute N₀=1.6, h=20, and t=30 into the formula:

N=1.6\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{30}{20}}\approx0.6\text{ million}=600,000

About 600,000 animals will be left in 30 years.

(b) Substitute N₀=1.6, h=20, and t=65 into the formula:

N=1.6\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{30}{20}}\approx0.6\text{ million}=600,000

Identify A, B, and C in the equation x - 3y + 4 = 0.
daser333 [38]

Option D:

A = 1, B = –3 and C = 4.

Solution:

Given equation is x – 3y + 4 =0.

General equation of a line format:

<em>Ax + By + C = 0</em>

<u>To identify A, B and C in the given equation:</u>

x – 3y + 4 =0 is a equation of a line which is in the form of Ax + By + C = 0.

That is,

The coefficient of x is A ⇒ A = 1

The coefficient of y is B ⇒ B = –3

The constant term is C ⇒ C = 4

A = 1, B = –3 and C = 4.

Hence Option D is the correct answer.

You put $800 in an account that earns 4% simple interest. Find the total amount in your account after each year for 3 years. (Pl
alexandr402 [8]
To get 4% of 800 you times 800 by 4 and divide it by 100. Once you have that amount you add it to 800 to find the amount you will have in your bank the first year. To get the next year's amount you then get 4% of 832(because after the first year you have more than $800) and then add the 4% to 832, that is the answer for the second year. To find the third year's amount you get 4% of the new amount (last year's total) and add it to last year's total, that is your total for the third year. So the first year will be: (800x4÷100)+800 =32+800 =832 The second year will be: 832+(832x4÷100) =832+33.28 =865.28 The third year will be: (865.28×4÷100)+865.28 =34.61(rounded off)+865.28 =899.89

[someone help] The speed of the object 7 seconds after it is dropped is ___m/sec
nadezda [96]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  68.6 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed at a given time is the derivative of the height at that time.

  dh/dt = -9.8t

At t=7, the speed is ...

  -9.8(7) = -68.6 . . . . . meters per second (downward)

The speed is 68.6 meters per second.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Height is considered to be positive in the up direction, so velocity and acceleration are also positive in the up direction. The derivative of height will be the velocity. Its negative sign in this case indicates the object is moving in the downward direction. The speed is the magnitude (absolute value) of the velocity.
