Answer:

The more expensive book cost $90, the other two combined cost $60.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost of more expensive book

y = subtotal cost of the other books

x = 50% more than y, so x = 1.50y = 1.5y

x + y = total cost = $150

1.5y + y = 150

y = 150/2.5 = 60

x = 1.5y = 1.5(60) = 90

Zoologists are studying two newly discovered species of insects in a previously unexplored section of rain forest. They estimate
salantis [7]
The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation 
     Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t 
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is 
     Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t

We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal: 
     Pa = Pb
     1.3(1-0.038)^t  = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
     1.3(0.962)^t  = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.

We can now solve for t:
     (0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
     (0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
     t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
     t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.

Describe the transformation of the graph of f into the graph of g as either a horizontal or vertical stretch.
balandron [24]
To properly visualize the given, we transform them into equation form rather than words.
                          f(x) = sqrt (x)
                          g(x) = 8(sqrt(x))
From these, it may be observed that g(x) is 8 times of f(x). These transformation is in the value of y and is scaling. Because it is multiplied by a a whole number, the transformation is vertical scaling that involves multiplying the y-coordinate by 8.
