Bluefin tuna are large fish that can weigh 1,500 pounds and swim at speeds of 55 miles per hour. because they are used in sushi,

a prime fish can be worth over $30,000. as a result, the western atlantic bluefin tuna have been exploited, and their numbers have declined exponentially. their numbers in thousands from 1974 to 1991 can be modeled by f (x) = 230(0.881)x, where x is the year and x = 0 corresponds to 1974. in what year were there or will there be 50 thousand tuna?

Given exponential function

f(x)= 230 (0.881)^x

Where x is the number of years

f(x) is the number of tuna in thousands

To find out when number of tuna is 50 thousand , we plug in 50 for f(x) and solve for x

50 = 230(0.881)^x

Divide by 230 on both sides

\frac{5}{23}  = (0.881)^x

Take ln on both sides

ln(\frac{5}{23})  = ln(0.881)^x

ln(\frac{5}{23}) = x ln(0.881)

Divide by ln(0.881) on both sides

x = \frac{ln(\frac{5}{23})}{ln(0.881)}

x= 12.04

Year = 1974 + 12.04 = 1986

so in 1986 there will be 50 thousand tuna.

tatuchka [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

16 kg= 8 hours (divide by 8 to find 1 hour how many kg)

2kg=1 hour ( multiply by 9 as we need to find 18 kg

so 9 hours=18kg

So it'll take 9 hours for 18 kg of dough to be made

Hope this helps!!!
