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

Factor sec^2x-secx+tan^2x
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

sec²(x) - sec(x) + tan²(x) = (sec(x) - 1)(2sec(x) + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

sec²(x) - sec(x) + tan²(x) =

= sec²(x) - sec(x) + [sec²(x) - 1]

= sec²(x) - sec(x) + [(sec(x) + 1)(sec(x) - 1)]

= sec(x)[sec(x) - 1] + [(sec(x) + 1)(sec(x) - 1)]

= (sec(x) - 1)(sec(x) + sec(x) + 1)

= (sec(x) - 1)(2sec(x) + 1)

What is the area of triangle EDF?
Ann [662]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BAC ~ ∠EDF means that the triangles are similar. So the legs of the triangle share the same proportions, even if the sizes are different.

Since they share the same proportions, the same operations can be performed on each base to find the area.

The answer can be found with the knowledge that the area of a triangle is half of the height * width. You know the width of ∠BAC is 4, and the area is 8, so 16 (the area doubled) / 4 is the height. The width and height of ∠BAC are the same, and since the proportions are also the same, the width and height of ∠EDF are both 3. So the area is the width (3) times the height (3) divided by 2.

3*3 = 9

9/2 = 4.5

So the area is 4.5

A cube number is rolled 20 times and lands on 1 two times and on 5 four times. Find each experimental probability. Then compare
kykrilka [37]
The experiment probabilities are listed below:

One:  2 out of 20 = 2 / 20 = 0.1  or 10%

Four:  5 out of 20 =  5 / 20 = 1 / 4 = 0.25 = 25%

The theoretical probability of any single number is 1 out of 6 or about 17%.

The experimental probability for ones was less than and for fours it was greater than the theoretical probability.
