<h2>Population becomes 550 in 27 days</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of spiders in a lab is modeled by the function P(x)=400(1.012)^{x}, where x represents the number of days since population was first counted.

   Consider that after t days, the population of spiders has grown to 550. We need to find such t.

550=400(1.012)^{t}

(1.012)^{x}=\frac{550}{400}=1.375

Applying logarithm on both sides,

xlog_{10}(1.012)=log_{10}(1.375)

x=\frac{log_{10}(1.375)}{log_{10}(1.012)}=26.6967

∴ It takes about 27 days for the population to become 550.

Please help<br> Find the area in square units of ABC△ plotted below.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Use the distance formula on both points AC and AB.

<em>Distance formula is this</em><em>:</em>

<em>\begin{gathered}d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(1--5)^2+(8--7)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(6)^2+(15)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{36+225} \\\\d=\sqrt{261} \\\\\end{gathered}d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2d=(1−−5)2+(8−−7)2d=(6)2+(15)2d=36+225d=261</em>

Distance for AC  is  16.16

Now do the same with the numbers for AB and get the distance of 5.39

2. To get the area, use the formula 1/2 x base x height

AB is the base and AC is the height.

1/2 x 16.16 x 5.39 = 43.55

the answer is 43.5

What is the value of x in the figure below? In this diagram, △ABD~△CAD.
morpeh [17]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the triangles ABD and CAD are similar.

The length of AB is 12.

The length of BD is x.

The length of AC is 27.

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Let us use the leg rule to determine the value of x.

Thus, we have;

\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac{AB}{BD}

Substituting the values, we get;

\frac{27}{12}=\frac{12}{x}

Cross multiplying, we get;

27x=12\times 12

27x=144

Dividing both sides by 27, we have;

x=\frac{16}{3}

Thus, the value of x is \frac{16}{3}

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

The tail of a kite is 1.5 feet plus twice the length of the kite. Together, the kite and tail are 15.5 ft long. Find the length
Ivan

Answer:

We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:

15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x

15,5 = 3x + 1,5     / - 1,5 (both sides)

14 = 3x             / : 3 (both sides)

x ≈ 4,66

The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.
