An endangered species of fish has a population that is decreasing exponentially:A=A0 e^kt The population 10 years ago was 1700.

Today, only 800 of the fish are alive. Once the population drops below 100, the situation will be irreversible. When will this happen, according to the model? (Round to the nearest whole year.)A.29B.30C.32D.31E.None of the above

Answer:

The correct answer is E. none of the above.  The population will drops below 100 when t ≥ 38.

Explanation:

Given A= A0 e^kt. The population 10 years ago is A0, the population today is A(10), and we have to find the value of "k" and then the time when population drops below 100.

So, A(t) = 1700 e^kt ⇒ A(10) = 1700 e^k(10) ⇒ 800 = 1700 e^k(10) ⇒

800/1700 = e^k(10) ⇒ln (800/1700) = k(10) ln e ⇒ -0.754/10 = k ⇒

k = -0.0754.

Now you have all the parameters, so you can find the time at which the population drops below 100.

A(t) = 1700 e^kt ⇒ 100 = 1700 e^(-0.0754)t ⇒100/1700 = e^(-0.0754)t ⇒

ln(100/1700) = (-0.0754)t ln e ⇒ [ln(100/1700)]/(-0.0754) = t ⇒

t = 38.

So, the population will drops below 100 when t ≥ 38.

Which of these is associated with El Nino<br><br>​
Pavlova-9 [17]
The large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate interaction linked to a periodic warming in sea surface temperatures across the central and east-central Equatorial Pacific is what is used to describe an El Niño, so I’m guessing this is what is associated with it.

Please provide a legitimate answer and provide an explanation for the question below.
UNO [17]

Answer:

The skeletal system is vital in supporting the immune system because : Bones contain marrow, a porous material which creates both white and red blood cells. This replenishment of cells allows the body to fight and expel harmful bacteria, environmental toxins,  foreign material e.t.c.

The white blood cells formed by the marrow are instrumental in isolating and destroying harmful particles (either on the site or in lymph nodes), or transporting them to the kidneys or bowels for excretion.

NOTE : Some people have marrow disorders which prevent their marrow from forming new cells; this is caused most often by cancer. Today, it is possible to transplant marrow from a healthy individual to a sick patient, and so help their bone marrow form new white and red blood cells to fight their sickness.

I hope it helps :)
