Answer:

4028

Step-by-step explanation:

Fox number in 2010=1500

Rate of annual increase = 2.5 %

Fox number in 2050=?

This is compound interest problem

We use

A= P (1+ \frac{R}{100}) ^{T}

Where,

A= Fox number in 2050

P=fox number in 2010

R= 2.5

T= 40 years

Put values

==> A= 1500(1+\frac{2.5}{100} )^{40}

==> A= 1500 × (1.025)^{40}

==>A = 1500 ×  2.6850638383=4027.6=4028

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 1500

r = 2.5% = 2.5/100 = 0.025

The number of years from 2010 to 2050 is 40 years. So

t = 40

Therefore, the expression that represents the fox population in the year 2050 is

A = 1500(1 + 0.025)^40

A = 1500(1.025)^40

velikii [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

x1= 1 , x2= 7 , m1= 3

y1= 4 , y2= 1 , m2= 1

x=?

y=?

using section formula

x= (m2.x1 + m1.x2)/m1 + m2

x= find yourself

y= (m2.y1 + m1.y2) / m1 + m2

y= find yourself

What is the value of x<br><br> Triangle with sides 10 6 x-6
Grace [21]
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14
