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

Answer:

20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cape is trapezoid shaped and has an area of 600 in², the area of a trapezoid is given by

A =1/2(a + b)h where a = length along the top of the cape = 24 in, b =  length along the bottom of the cape = 36 in and h = height of the cape

So, h = 2A/(a + b)

= 2 × 600 in²/(24 in + 36 in)

= 1200 in²/60 in

= 20 in

So, the height of the cape is 20 inches

The chagram shows a regular octagon joined to an equilateral triangle
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

x = 165°

Step-by-step explanation:

x° = 360 - (the measure of one interior angle of the octagon + the measure of one interior angle of the equilateral ∆)

Each interior angle of a regular octagon = 135° ([tex] \frac{(n - 2)180}{n} = 135°)

An equilateral ∆ has equal angles, each measuring 60°.

Therefore:

x° = 360° - (135° + 60°)

x = 360 - 195

x = 165°
