The number of rainbow smelt in Lake Michigan had an average rate of change of −19.76 per year between 1990 and 2000. The bloater

fish population had an average rate of change of −92.57 per year during the same time. If the initial population of rainbow smelt was 227 and the initial population of bloater fish was 1,052, after how many years were the two populations equal? The linear function that models the population of rainbow smelt is y1 = −19.76x + 227, where x = the years since 1990 and y1 = the number of rainbow smelt. The linear function that models the population of bloater fish is y2 = . The linear equation that determines when the two populations were equal is . The solution is x =

Let x =  number of years between 1990 and  2000.

Rainbow smelt:
Initial population = 227
Average yearly rate of change = -19.76
The linear function that models the population is
y₁ = 227 - 19.76x

Bloater fish
Initial population = 1052
Average yearly rate of change = -92.57
The linear function that models the population is
y₂ = 1052 - 92.57x

When the two populations are equal, then y₁ = y₂.
That is
227 - 19.76x = 1052 - 92.57x
(92.57 - 19.76)x = 1052 - 227
72.81x = 825
x = 11.33 years
   = 11 years, 0.33*12 months
   = 11 years, 4 months
Add x to 1990 to obtain the year April 2011.

Answer:
x = 11.33 years.
This occurs in April 2001.

Define the set X = {(x,y)|x &gt; 0,y ≤ √x}.
Kitty [74]

The set X is convex.

In geometry, a subset of an affine space over the real numbers, or more broadly a subset of a Euclidean space, is said to be convex if it contains the entire line segment connecting any two points in the subset. A solid cube is an example of a convex set, whereas anything hollow or with an indent, such as a crescent shape, is not. Alternatively, a convex region is a subset that crosses every line into a single line segment.

b)The set X is convex as any two points on the set X is included in the whole set as x>0. So a line joining any two points on the set X is completely inside the set x.

c)set X is not a closed set as the compliment of the set is not an open set.

d)Set X is not bounded. If a set S contains both upper and lower bounds, it is said to be bounded. A set of real numbers is therefore said to be bounded if it fits inside a defined range. hence set x is not bounded.

Christine Wong has asked Dave and Mike to help her move into a new apartment on Sunday morning. She has asked them both in case
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

(a) The probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b) The probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c) The probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = Dave will show up.

<em>M</em> =  Mike will show up.

Given:

P(D^{c})=0.55\\P(M^{c})=0.45

It is provided that the events of Dave of Mike showing up are independent of each other.

(a)

Compute the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up as follows:

P(D\cap M)=P(D)\times P (M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]\times [1-P(M^{c})]\\=[1-0.55]\times[1-0.45]\\=0.2475\\\approx0.25

Thus, the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up is 0.25.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one of them will show up as follows:

P (At least one of them will show up) = 1 - P (Neither will show up)

                                                   =1-P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})\\=P(D\cup M)\\=P(D)+P(M)-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-P(D^{c})]+[1-P(M^{c})]-P(D\cap M)\\=[1-0.55]+[1-0.45]-0.25\\=0.75

Thus, the probability that at least one of them will show up is 0.75.

(c)

Compute the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up as follows:

P(D^{c}\cup M^{c})=1-P(D\cup M)\\=1-P(D)-P(M)+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-P(D^{c})]-[1-P(M^{c})]+P(D\cap M)\\=1-[1-0.55]-[1-0.45]+0.25\\=0.25

Thus, the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up is 0.25.
