A lake is stocked with 1,500 young trout. If the number of the original trout alive after x years is given by the function P(x)=

1500e^-0.4x, when will there be 300 of the original trout left?

The function P(x)=1500e^{-0.4x} gives the number of the original trout alive after x years. When the number of the original trout alive is 300, then

300=1500e^{-0.4x}

Solve this equation:

e^{-0.4x}=\dfrac{300}{1500},\\ \\e^{-0.4x}=\dfrac{1}{5},\\ \\-0.4x=\ln \dfrac{1}{5},\\ \\x=\dfrac{\ln \dfrac{1}{5}}{-0.4}\approx 4.024.

Answer: after 4.024 year (or 5 year if round to the whole number of years)

Answer:

B. 2.2π m² : 3.2π m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slant height (l) = 2.2 m

Diameter (d) = 2 m

Radius (r) = ½(2) = 1 m

Required:

Lateral area and surface area

Solution:

✔️Formula for lateral area of a cone = πrl

Plug in the values

Lateral area of the cone = π*1*2.2

Lateral area = 2.2π m²

✔️ Formula for surface area of a cone = πr(l + r)

Plug in the values

Surface area of the cone = π*1(2.2 + 1)

Surface area = π(3.2)

Surface area = 3.2π m²

The answer would therefore be:

2.2π m² : 3.2π m²

The area of a triangular block is 16 squre inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and th
klemol [59]
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula 

1/2 (base) (height)

Let's substitute our known values, letting x represent the value of the height of the triangle.

16  = 1/2* x* 2x

Let's Simplify!

16 = x^2

Finally, lets take the square root of both sides, to get rid of the exponent on the right side of the equation.

x= positive OR negative 4.

However, because x is equal to the height, we know that it can't be negative, so we know that it is positive 4.

The height of the triangle = 4 inches
The base of the triangle = 2h = 8 inches

8x=4x^2-1 <br>solve by completing the square
Klio2033 [76]
Get the x terms by themselves on one side and a constant on the other side of the equal sign...

4x^2-8x=1  make the leading coefficient equal to one...

x^2-2x=1/4  now halve the linear coefficient, -2 in this case, square it, and add that value to both sides of the equation...-2/2=-1, -1^2=1 so

x^2-2x+1=1+1/4

x^2-2x+1=5/4  now the left side is a perfect square...

(x-1)^2=5/4  take the square root of both sides...

x-1=±√(5/4)  add 1 to both sides

x=1±√(5/4)
