Answer:

P=3000(0.89)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that, florida manatee population is 3,000 and is decreasing by 11% each year.

We want to write a function for this situation.

Since the population is decreasing annually, it is modelled by:

P=P_0(1-r\%)^t

We substitute the give initial population and rate of decrease to get:

P=3000(1-0.11)^t

This simplifies to:

P=3000(0.89)^t

Answer:P_{(t)}=P_{o}(1-0.11)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described situation, the current manatee population is 3000, if it decreases 11\%=0.11 each year this means in one year the manatee population will be:

3000-(3000(0.11))=2671 (1)

And the next year:

2671-(2671(0.11))=2376.3 (2)

This mean each year the population will be 11\% less than last year.

So, in this case we can use the following function to express this decrease:

P_{(t)}=P_{o}(1+r)^{t} (3)

Where:

P_{(t)} Is the number of manaties at time t

P_{o}=3000 is the current number of manaties (this year)

r=-11\%=-0.11 is the decrease rate of the population

t is the time (in years)

For example, if we want to estimate the number of manaties for next year, t=1:

P_{(1)}=3000(1-0.11)^{1}

P_{(1)}=2670

If we want to estimate the number of manaties in two yeas, t=2:

P_{(2)}=3000(1-0.11)^{2}

P_{(2)}=2376.3

Answer:

angles in a triangle add up to 180°

5:12:13 = 30

180 ÷ 30 = 6

6 × 5 = 30°

6 × 12 = 72°

6 × 13 = 78°

angles = 30°, 72°, 78°

Which is the solution of the equation a + 2 = 10?
Alexandra [31]

Hey there!

a + 2 = 10

SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES

a + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because that gives you 0

KEEP: 10 - 2 because that helps solve for the a-value

10 - 2 = a

10 - 2 = 8

Answer: Option C. a = 8

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

lawyer [7]
At the beining, he has 76
that is at x=0
y=mx+76

find m
given
when x=2, y=100
find m

100=2m+76
minus 76 both sides
24=2m
divide both sides by 2
12=m

the equatin is

y=12x+76

What is the discontinuity and zero of the function
lukranit [14]
The discontinuity are the point wherein the function is not defined. 
The zeros are the points wherein f(x)=0.
Computing the discontinuity points:
Set x-1=0 then the discontinuity point is at x=1.
Comptine the zeroes:
Set 3x^2+x-4=0
Compute the discriminant: 1^2-4(3)(-4)=49=7^2.
Then with quadratic formula we get the solutions:
(-1-7)/6=-8/6\\(-1+7)/6=1
The two zeros are \dfrac{-8}{6},1
