What equation best models this data?(use y to represent the population of rabbits and t to represent the year, assuming that 201

0 is t=0

If we see the data closely, a pattern emerges. The pattern is that the ratio of the population of every consecutive year to the present year is 1.6

Let us check it using a couple of examples.

The rabbit population in the year 2010 is 50. The population increases to 80 the next year (2011). Now, \frac{80}{50}=1.6

Likewise, the rabbit population in the year 2011 is 80. The population increases to 128 the next year (2012). Again, \frac{128}{80}=1.6

We can verify the same ratio with all the data provided.

Thus, we know that the population in any given year is 1.6 times the population of the previous year. This is a classic case of a compounding problem. We know that the formula for compounding is as:

F=P\times r^n

Where F is the future value of the rabbit population in any given year

P is the rabbit population in the year "0" (that is the starting year 2010) and that is 50 in this question. (please note that there is just one starting year).

r is the ratio multiple with which the rabbit population increases each consecutive year.

n is the nth year from the start.

Let us take an example for the better understanding of the working of this formula.

Let us take the year 2014. This is the 4th year

So, the rabbit population in 2014 should be:

F_{2014} =50\times(1.6)^4\approx328

This is exactly what we get from the table too.

Thus, F=P\times r^n aptly represents the formula that dictates the rabbit population in the present question.

Give a proper fraction whose denominator and denominator add up to 10
saveliy_v [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1/9, 2/8, 3/7, 4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction will be proper when the numerator is less than the denominator. That means numerators can be less than 10/2 = 5. The fractions that satisfy the requirement are ...

  1/9, 2/8, 3/7, 4/6

Those with even numerators can be reduced. So the reduced fractions are ...

  1/9, 3/7

Mini muffins cost $3:00 per dozen Andre says I have $2:00 so I can afford 8 muffins Elena says I want to get 16 muffins so I’ll
jasenka [17]

Answer:

I agree with both.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's $3 per dozen that would be $0.25 per muffin because

3 ÷ 12 = 0.25

And if Andre has $2 than he can only afford 8 muffins because

0.25 x 8 = 2

And if Elena wants 16 muffins

16 x 0.25 = 4

So she will have to pay $4.

Hope this makes sense and helps!

2m+5=5(m-7)-3m equals??
Svetradugi [14.3K]
2m+5=5(m-7)-3m
first, use distributive property...
2m+5=5m-35-3m
next, combine like terms on the right side...
2m+5=2m-35
next, subtract 2m from both sides.
2m+5=2m-35
-2m   -2m
you will get....
5=-35 in which is not true. This means the equation has no solution.
