Answer:

The goat population reaches 1000 in 12.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

After <em>t </em>years, the number of goats is given by

N = N_0e^{bt}

where N_0 is the initial number of goats and <em>b</em> is the per capita growth rate.

From the question,

  • N_0 = 2
  • <em>b</em> = 0.5
  • <em>N</em> = 1000

1000 = 2e^{0.5t}

e^{0.5t} = 500

0.5t = \ln 500 = 6.214

t = \dfrac{6.2}{0.5} = 12.4

Answer:

12.4 years  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let recall the following,

The number of goats after t years is shown below

N = N₀∧ebt

Let N₀ = the number of the initial goats

b = The capital rate of growth

From the example given,

Let insert the values

N₀ is = 2

b = 0.5

Let N = 1000

So,

1000= 2e∧0.5t

e∧0.5t = 500

0.5t = ln 500 = 6.214

Therefore

t = 6.214/0.5 =12.4

Therefore, the number of years it will take for the goat population to reach 1000 is = 12.4 years

The value of m ∠ RPS is 64. 7°

<h3>What are collinear angles?</h3>

Collinear angles are angles formed when three or more points lie on the same straight line.

Note that angles on a straight line sum up to 180 degrees.

From the diagram given, we can see that the angles are collinear angles and thus sum up to 180 degrees;

  • m ∠QPS = 88°
  • m ∠ RPS = 5x + 34°
  • m ∠ QPR = 8x + 15°

m ∠QPS + m ∠ RPS + m ∠ QPR = 180°

88° + 5x + 34° + 8x + 15° = 180

collect like terms

5x + 8x = 180 - 137

Add like terms

13x = 43

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = 43/ 7

x = 6. 14

m ∠ RPS = 5x + 34 = 5 ( 6. 14) + 34 = 30. 7 + 34 = 64. 7°

Thus, the value of m ∠ RPS is 64. 7°

We can start by saying that 4/3w+ 3/3w = 133.
we can simplify to 7/3w = 133.
multiply both sides by 3 to get 7w = 399.
divide both sides by 7 to get 57.

What is f(3)??????????
AURORKA [14]
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Meaning of f(a)

f(a) means the value of f(x) is ... when x = a. That means if we substitute x = 3, we would get f(3).

f(3) also means the value of f(x) is ... when x = 3.

f(x) can also be defined as y // f(x) = y

  • Find f(3) by graph.

You can find the value of f(x) at specific domain from the graph by looking at x = 3 then look up to where the point or where the graph passes. From the graph, when x = 3 as we look up and the graph passes y-coordinate at 1.

Therefore we can say that when x = 3, y = 1.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

f(3) = 1
