Scientists want to know the total trout population in a part of Lake Michigan. They tagged and released 200 trouts back into the

wild. Later, they found 60 trouts in that same part of Lake Michigan, 10 of which were tagged. Estimate the total trout population in that part of Lake Michigan to the nearest whole number.

The estimate would be 1200.

We will set up a proportion for this.  10 out of 60 of the sample were tagged, so that is the first ratio.  The 200 that were tagged would be in the numerator of the second ratio (10 was the portion tagged, and 200 is the portion tagged, so they both go on top).  We do not know the total number so we use a variable:

10/60 = x/200

Cross multiply:

10*x = 60*200
10x = 12000

Divide both sides by 10:
10x/10 = 12000/10
x = 1200

Give another name plane L
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Any one of these three works:

plane MOU

plane MNU

plane NOU

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane can be named by a single letter, such as L in this problem, or by any three non-collinear points that lie on the plane. Non-collinear points are points that do not all lie in a single line.

Points M, N, O, and U lie on plane L, so you can choose any 3 of the 4 points to name the plane with, but make sure all 3 points are non-collinear.

To name plane L with points, you cannot use points MNO together since they are collinear, but you can name it using point U plus any two of the points M, N, and O.

plane L can be named

plane MOU

plane MNU

plane NOU

Do not name it plane MNO

If sinx=2cosx then, what is the value of sin2x?
Travka [436]
          sin(x) = 2cos(x)
         tan(x) = 2
tan⁻¹[tan(x)] = tan⁻¹(2)
                x ≈ 63.4

sin(2x) = sin[2(63.4)]
sin(2x) = sin(126.8)
sin(2x) ≈ 0.801
