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

How to solve this problem 15 = 5x
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

x = 3 (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, you need to isolate the variable to one side of the equation. To do that, you need to use reverse operations. For example, the reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

In this case, we have:

15 = 5x

5x is the same thing as 5 (x) or 5 times x. This means the reverse operation is division. So, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5:

15 = 5x

-----   ----

5       5

--------------

3 = x

x = 3

If 90 percent of a is 44, what is 30 percent of 3a?
Lesechka [4]
90% of "a" is 44.......turn ur percent into a decimal...." of " means multiply..." is " means equals...

0.90a = 44...divide both sides by 0.90
a = 44 / 0.90
a = 48.89.....this is rounded

what is 30% of 3a.....and we know that "a" is 48.89...

0.30(3 * 48.89) = 0.30(146.67) = 44 <=== ur answer

Solve 5·23 using the distributive property.
svetlana [45]
5*23

Note 23 = 20 + 3

5*23 =  5*(20 + 3)        and by distributive property

5*23 =  5*20 + 5*3 = 100 + 15 = 115

= 115

PLEASE HELP!!! ILL MARK A HIGH POINT COUNT, GIVE BRAINLIEST, FIVE STARS, AND GIVE THANKS TO WHOEVER ANSWERS CORRECTLY!!!!
Westkost [7]

Each letter of the alphabet is worth two times as much as the one before it, implying that the value of each letter rises in mathematical progression. The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic progression would be used. I am written as

a + (n - 1)d = Tn

Where

The number of terms in the arithmetic sequence is represented by n.

The common difference of the terms in the arithmetic sequence is represented by d.

The first term of the arithmetic sequence is represented by a.

Tn stands for the nth word.

Based on the facts provided,

n = 26 characters1 Equals a

3 minus 1 equals 2 (difference between 2 letters)

Therefore,

1 + (26 - 1)2 = T26

51 = T26

The formula for calculating the sum of an arithmetic sequence's n terms

is as follows:

[2a + (n - 1)d] Sn = n/2

As a result, S26 is the sum of the first 26 terms.

S26 = 20/2[2 1 + (26 - 1)2] S26 = 20/2

[2 + 50] S26 =

676 = S26 = 13 52
