Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a piecewise function defined as:

N(t)=\left \{ {{25t+150} \ 0 \leq t \leq 6 \atop {\frac{200+80t}{2+0.05t} \ t \geq 8}} \right.

a)

We need to find the limit of the function as t goes to infinity. This means what is the max value of fish in the pond given times goes to infinity (on an on).

We will take the 2nd part of the equation since t falls into that range, t is infinity, which is definitely greater than 8.

\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{200+80t}{2+0.05t} \\\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{80t}{0.05t}\\ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{80}{0.05} =1600

This means the maximum number of fish at this pond is 1600, no matter how long it goes on.

b)

A function is continuous at a point if we have the limit and the functional value at that point same.

Functional value at t = 8 is (we use 2nd part of equation):

\frac{200+80t}{2+0.05t}\\\frac{200+80(8)}{2+0.05(8)}\\=350

We do have a value and limit also goes to this as t approaches 8.

So, function is continuous at t = 8

c)

We want to find is there a "time" when the number of fishes in the pond is 250, during t from 0 to 6. We plug in 250 into N(t) and try to find t. Make sure to use the 1st part of the piece-wise function. Shown below:

N(t)=25t+150\\250=25t+150\\25t=250-150\\25t=100\\t=4

The time is 4 years when the number of fishes in the pond is 250

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ - 48 + 6}{ - 7}   + ( - 3)( - 4)( - 2) \\  =  \frac{ - 42}{ - 7}  + 12( - 2) \\  = 6 + ( - 24) \\  = 6 - 24 \\  =  - 18

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The total number of students that ate lunch are 300 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}

As given

There are 4 lunch choices in a school cafeteria: Salad, Pizza, Spaghetti, and Sub Sandwiches.

The percentage of students that chose salad is 15%.

If 45 students chose salad.

Here

Percentage = 15%

Part value = 45

Put in the formula

15 = \frac{45\times 100}{Total\ value}

Total\ value= \frac{4500}{15}

Total\ value= 300

Therefore  the total number of students that ate lunch are 300 .
