Answer:

a = (p - 3b)/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

p = 10a + 3b

First, subtract 3b from both sides.

p (-3b) = 10a + 3b (-3b)

p - 3b = 10a

Next, isolate the a. Divide 10 from both sides.

(p - 3b)/10 = (10a)/10

(p - 3b)/10 = a

a = (p - 3b)/10 is your answer.

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

8_murik_8 [283]

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.

Finley’s pumpkin had a mass of 6.5 kilograms before he carved it. After carving it the pumpkin had a mass of 3.9 kilograms. What

katen-ka-za [31]

Hello.

The percent decrease in the mass of the pumpkin for this case will be given by:
(100 - (3.9 / 6.5) * 100) =
(100-60) =40%

After carving it, the pumpkin decreases a percent of 40% in the mass.

Have a nice day

2 rectangle shaped
1) Length = 160 mi ; Width = 40 mi
2) Length = 440 mi - 160 mi ; Width = 240 mi - 70 mi

1 triangle shape
1) base = 70 mi ; height = 440 mi - 160 mi

Area Rectangle 1 = 160 mi * 40 mi = 6,400 mi²
Area Rectangle 2 = 280 mi * 170 mi = 47,600 mi²
Area Triangle 1 = ((440 mi - 160 mi) * 70mi)/2 = (280mi * 70mi)/2 = 9,800 mi²

Total Area = 6,400 mi² + 47,600 mi² + 9,800 mi² = <span>63,800 mi²</span>

sladkih [1.3K]

The ways can the jazz band be selected so there are 2 trumpet players, 5 drummers, and 3 saxophonists is given below .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first do the math with only the trumpet,drummer and saxophonists player.

There are 4 Trumpet Player. There are 4 choices of trumpet players. Which means for each drummer, there are 4 groups of musicians:

T 1 D1S1

T 1 D2S2

and so on

So if there are 4 groups of musicians for each Trumpet ,12 drummer and there are 7 saxophonists , we get 12 groups.

It would be the product of

4T2, 12D5 and 7S3

That is 6*792*35=166,320

5) BRAINLIEST + 15 POINTS :)

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question say x represents number of minutes and y represents total amoumt so $5 and $10 is a fixed amount that are needed to pay for each month. So the expression for each month that is needed to pay is :

y = 0.99x + 5

y = 0.79x + 10
