Answer:

  • apple: $2.25
  • mango: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "m" represent the cost of an apple and a mango, respectively. Then Cameron's purchase can be represented as ...

  4a +7m = 17.75

Gavin's purchase can be represented as ...

  2a +5m = 10.75

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second gives ...

  2(2a +5m) -(4a +7m) = 2(10.75) -(17.75)

  3m = 3.75

  m = 1.25

Then the price of an apple can be found from the second equation:

  2a +5(1.25) = 10.75

  2a = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.25

  a = 2.25 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The price of an apple was $2.25; the price of a mango was $1.25.

The population of a certain species of bird in a region after t years can be modeled by the function P(t)= 1620/1+1.15e^-0.042t
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is  \frac{1620}{1+1.15e^{-0.042t}}

To find the maximum population, we need to set t towards infinity to get our answer.

So, we replace time with maximum (\infty). Let's check:

\frac{1620}{1+1.15e^{-0.042t}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{e^{0.042t}}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{e^{0.042(\infty)}}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+\frac{1.15}{\infty}}\\=\frac{1620}{1+0}\\=\frac{1620}{1}\\=1620

The population of birds approaches 1620 as t goes towards infinity. So we can say the max population of the species is 1620.

Correct answer is A
