Answer:

2007

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

p(x)=0.65x^{2} -0.047x+2

This is a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex represent a minimum

p(x) is the population in thousands for a species of fish

x is the number of years since 1997

Remember that p(x) is in thousands

so

If the population reach 66,530 fish

then

the value of p(x) is equal to

p(x)=66.53

substitute in the quadratic equation

66.53=0.65x^{2} -0.047x+2

0.65x^{2} -0.047x+2-66.53=0

0.65x^{2} -0.047x-64.53=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=10 years

see the attached figure

therefore

Find the year

Adds 10 years to 1997

1997+10=2007

If the circle below is cut from the square of plywood below, how many square inches of plywood would be left over? Use π = 3.14,
Elis [28]

Answer:

86in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the complete question attached

Area of the circle = πr²

Area of the square = L²

Length of the side of the square

r is the radius of the circle

r = L/2 = 20/2 =10in

Given

Length of the side of the circle = 20in

Area of the square = 20²

Area of the square = 400in²

Area of the circle =π(10)²

Area of the circle = 3.14(100)

Area of the circle= 314in²

Amount of plywood left over = 400in²-314in² = 86in²

What 2 numbers should be used to find 231 - 198 using the 10 method for subtracting quickly in your head?
Airida [17]

Answer: "Count 2 and then count 31 more."

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

231 - 198

Now, the negative number is kinda ugly, so i will write it as:

200 - 2 = 198

Is a lot easier work with 200 and 2, than with 198.

Then the equation is now:

231 - (200 - 2)

And the left number we also have a "200", so it can be written as:

200 + 31 = 231

As this is a sum, we can ignore the parentheses.

200 + 31 - 200 + 2

31 + 2

Then the correct option is:

"Count 2 and then count 31 more."
