Hmm, we will do ratio and assume caputred is in proprtion

so

all:tagged=all:41
we will assume this is the same as
57:tagged in the 57
57-41=16 so 16 are not tagged

so
all/41=57/16
times both sides by 41
all=2337/16
all=146.something

Answer:

There were approx 260 storks in the bird reserve.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a information as:

Tara is researching the stork population living in a bird reserve.

  • On her first day, she captures and tags 41 birds.

Let there were total 'x' birds.

Then the probability of the tagged birds is: \dfrac{41}{x}

  • Two weeks later, she captures 57 birds and finds 48 are not tagged.

 number of birds  tagged=57-48=9.

Now the probability of tagged birds is: \dfrac{9}{57}

As the probability of the tagged birds must be same:

⇒    \dfrac{41}{x}=\dfrac{9}{57}

⇒   x=\dfrac{41\times 57}{9}

⇒   x=259.666

Hence, there were approx 260 storks  in the bird reserve.

QveST [7]

Answer:

55°

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles have a sum of 180°

180 - (35 + 90) = angle B

180 - (125) = angle B

55 = angle B

So, angle B has a measurement of 55°

A ball is thrown in the air from a height of 3 m with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long
stepladder [879]

Answer:  1.4 seconds

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation is: h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀          where

  • a is the acceleration (in this case it is gravity)
  • v₀ is the initial velocity
  • h₀ is the initial height

Given:  

  • a = -9.81 (if it wasn't given in your textbook, you can look it up)
  • v₀ = 12
  • h₀ = 3

Since we are trying to find out when it lands on the ground, h(t) = 0

EQUATION:   0 = 9.81t² + 12t + 3

Use the quadratic equation to find the x-intercepts

                        a=-9.81, b=12, c=3

x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-(12)\pm \sqrt{(12)^2-4(-9.81)(3)}}{2(-9.81)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12\pm 16.2}{-19.62}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+ 16.2}{-19.62}=-0.2\qquad x=\dfrac{-12- 16.2}{-19.62}=\large\boxed{1.4}\\

Note: Negative time (-0.2) is not valid
