A = 750, the number of fish in the year 2005.
8.3% = 0.083, the growth rate
Let n =  the number of years, counted from 2005.
Let a(n) = the number of fish after n years.

When n=1,   a(1) = 750*1.083
When n=2,  a(2) = 750*1.083²
When n=3,  a(3) = 750*1.083³

Therefore, after n years, a(n) = 750*1.083ⁿ

The number of years between 2005 and 2050 is 2050-2005 = 45
Therefore in the year 2050, the number of fish will be
a(45) = 750*1.083⁴⁵ = 27123.26
We cannot have fractional fish, so a(45) =27123.

Answer: 27123

Using the given information, we can create the following exponential function.
Let t be the number of years after 2005.
Let F be the fish population.
F = 750(1.083)^t

In this case, t = 45 (2050 - 2005 = 45)

F = 750(1.083)^(45)
= 27123.255...
Round to the nearest whole number.

F = 27123
That's the expected population in 2050.

Have an awesome day! :)

andrey2020 [161]
Subtract 8p from 9p and then rewrite the equation. Then you add 7 to 4 and rewrite the equation again. Then you divide 1p by 11 and get p=11.

The sum of the square of 3 consecutive positive integers is 110 . What are the numbers
fgiga [73]
Let your 1st integer be X, then the 2nd will be (X+1) and the 3rd will be (X+2). Since we need the sum of the squares to equal 110 ⇒ X² + (X+1)² + (X+2)² = 110 Expanding the left-hand side: X² + X² + 2·X + 1 + X² +4·X + 4 = 110 3·X² + 6·X + 5 = 110 3·X² + 6·X - 105 = 0 Solve using the quadratic formula and you get roots: X = 5, X = -7 Your problem doesn't state that we have to restrict the solution to positive integers only and since we are summing the squares we have 2 solutions that work: 5, 6, 7 and -7, -6, -5

Can someone please help me with this question! btw thx in advance. Use the remainder Theorem to find the remainder: (x^3-1)/(x-4
olga55 [171]
F(x)/(x-a)=f(a)
Here a=4
So we need f(4)
F(4)=(4)^3 -1
F(4)=64-1=63
