The number of fish (f) in a fish tank increases when the number of algae blooms (a) decreases. Write the correct equation for th

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

f = -2/5a +14
12.4 ≈ 12 fish for 4 algae blooms

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2-point form of the equation for a line is useful when you are given two points to work with:

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

The independent variable (x) is apparently "algae blooms" and is to be represented by "a". The dependent variable (y) is "number of fish" and is to be represented by "f". So, we have ...

f = (4 -10)/(25 -10)(a -10) +10

f = -6/15(a -10) +10

f = -2/5a +14 . . . an equation for the scenario

Four a=4, the fish population is predicted to be ...

f = -2/5(4) +14 = 12.4

There will be about 12 fish when there are 4 algae blooms.

It is convenient to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do the math for this. Functions can be defined for cost and profit, and evaluated at each of the volumes of interest.

a1) For 200 cars, the Outside location yields the greatest profit

a2) For 300 cars, the City location yields the greatest profit

b) The sites yield the same profit for a volume of 278 cars.
