A population of bees is decreasing. The population in a particular region this year is 1,250. After 1 year, it is estimated tha

t the population will be 1,000. After 3 years, it is estimated that the population will be 640. a. Write a function to model this scenario. b. Create a graph to show the bee population over the next 10 years. c. Identify the key features of the function. Identify the x- and y-intercepts. Determine the maximum, the minimum, whether the function is increasing or decreasing, the rate of change of the function over the interval [0, 10], and any asymptotes.

To model this situation, we are going to use the decay formula: A=Pe^{rt}
where 
A is the final pupolation
P is the initial population 
e is the Euler's constant
r is the decay rate 
t is the time in years

A. We know for our problem that the initial population is 1,250, so P=1250; we also know that after a year the population is 1000, so A=1000 and t=1. Lets replace those values in our formula to find r:
A=Pe^{rt}
1000=1250e^{r}
e^{r}= \frac{1000}{1250}
e^{r}= \frac{4}{5}
ln(e^{r})=ln( \frac{4}{5} )
r=ln( \frac{4}{5} )
r=-02231

Now that we have r, we can write a function to model this scenario:
A(t)=1250e^{-0.2231t}.

B. Here we are going to use a graphing utility to graph the function we derived in the previous point. Please check the attached image.

C. 
- The function is decreasing
- The function doe snot have a x-intercept 
- The function has a y-intercept at (0,1250)
- Since the function is decaying, it will have a maximum at t=0: 
A(0)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(0)
A_{0}=1250e^{0}
A_{0}=1250
- Over the interval [0,10], the function will have a minimum at t=10:
A(10)=1250e^{(-0.2231)(10)
A_{10}=134.28

D. To find the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10], we are going to use the formula: m= \frac{A(0)-A(10)}{10-0}
where 
m is the rate of change 
A(10) is the function evaluated at 10
A(0) is the function evaluated at 0
We know from previous calculations that A(10)=134.28 and A(0)=1250, so lets replace those values in our formula to find m:
m= \frac{134.28-1250}{10-0}
m= \frac{-1115.72}{10}
m=-111.572
We can conclude that the rate of change of the function over the interval [0,10] is -111.572.

Is 24 the correct LCD to use for subtracting 6 3/4 - 1 2/6 ? Why or why not?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A

No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.

B

Factor each number into it's primes.

24 =<u> 2*2*2</u>*3

32 = <u>2*2*2</u>*2*2

The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8

C

9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.

6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2

The first 3  are examples of the difference of 2 squares so you use the identity 
a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)
x^2 - 49 = 0 
so (x + 7)(x - 7) = 0
so either x + 7 = 0 or x - 7 = 0
giving x = -7  and 7.
Number 7 reduces to 3x^2 =12, x^2  = 4 so x = +/- 2
Number 8  take out GCf (d) to give 
d(d - 2)  = 0   so d = 0 ,  2
9 and 10 are more difficult to factor
you use the 'ac' method  Google it to get more details
2x^2 - 5x + 2
multiply first coefficient by the constant at the end 
that is 2 * 2 =  4
Now we want  2 numbers  which when multiplied give + 4 and when added give - 5:-    -1 and -4  seem promising so we write the equation as:-

2x^2 - 4x - x + 2 = 0

now factor by grouping 
2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0

(x - 2) is common so

(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
and 2x - 1 = 0 or x - 2 = 0  and now you can find x.

The last example is solved in the same way.
