The population of a certain species of fish has a relative growth rate of 1.1% per year. It is estimated that the population in

2010 was 12 million. a. Find an exponential model n(t)= no e^rt for the population t years after 2010. b. Estimate the fish population in the year 2015. c. After how many years will the fish population reach 14 million? d. Sketch a graph of the fish population.

Answer:

(a) n(t) = P(0)*e^(0.010939940t)

(b) 12,674,681 (nearest unit)

(c) 14 years (nearest year)

Step-by-step explanation:

rate = 1.1% / year = 1.011

(a)

P(0) = 12,000,000  = population in 2010

In compound interest format, after t years

P(t) = P(0)* (1.011)^t

Given format = P(0)* e^(rt)

therefore

e^(rt) = 1.011^t       use law of exponents

(e^r)^t = 1.011^t

e^r = 1.011

r = log_e(1.011) = 0.010939940   (to 9 decimal places)

required formula is

n(t) = P(0)*e^(0.010939940t)

(b)

in 2015,

P(0)=12000000, n = 5 (years after 2010)

n(5) = 12000000*e^( 0.010939940 * 5 ) = 12,674,680.6 = 12,674,681 (nearest unit)

(c)

to reach 14 million, we equate

n(t) = 14,000,000

12,000,000 *e^(0.010939940*t) = 14,000,000

e^(0.010939940*t) = 14000000/12000000 = 7/6

take log on both sides

0.010939940*t = log(7/6)

t = log(7/6) / 0.010939940 = 14.091 years = 14 years to the nearest year.

See graph attached.  Y-axis is in millions, x-axis is in years.

Ted practices two types of swimming styles for a total of 50 minutes every day. he spends 20 minutes more practicing the breast
cluponka [151]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

butterfly = x minutes

breast = y minutes

total is 50 minutes

breast stroke = butterfly +20

Part A

x+y = 50

y = x+20

Part B

Substitute the second equation into the first

x+ (x+20) = 50

2x+20 = 50

2x+20-20 = 50-20

2x = 30

2x/2 = 30/2

x = 15

y = x+20

y = 20+15

y = 35 minutes

35 minutes on the breast stroke

Part C

45 minutes on the butterfly is not reasonable

We only have a total of 50 minutes

50-45 = 5

But he spend more time on the breast stroke ( 20 minutes more), but if he spend 45 minutes on the butterfly, he would have to spend less on the breast stroke.

Find the perimeter of a square that is 3 3/4 inches on a side. 7 inches 15 inches 12 inches 30 inches
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

  15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A square has 4 sides, all the same length. We can either add up the side lengths, or we can recognize that multiplication of one side's length by 4 is a useful alternative.

  perimeter = 4 × (3 3/4 in)

  = (4×3 +4×3/4) in

  = 12 in + 3 in = 15 in
