you would multiply speed by time

20 feet per second times 10 seconds = 200 feet total

First, you would cross multiply the equation 20ft/1s = x/10s.
Giving you 200ft/10s.

Your answer would be, 200ft.

I hope this helps!

He is incorrect because since 0.029 is in the thousandths place the fraction would be written as 29/1000

Population Growth A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and their population increases according to the logistic curve where t is mea

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

c) $p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

$p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114$

And if we replace t=10 we got:

$p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404$

d) $0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}$

And then:

$0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)$

$0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1$

$ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}$

$t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and the population increases according to the logistic curve p(t) = 10000 / 1 + 19e^-t/5 where t is measured in months. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) What is the limiting size of the fish population? (c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months? (d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?"

Solution to the problem

We have the following function

$P(t)=\frac{10000}{1 +19e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}$

(a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function.

If we use desmos we got the figure attached.

(b) What is the limiting size of the fish population?

For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

(c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months?

For this case we need to calculate the derivate of the function. And we need to use the derivate of a quotient and we got this:

$p'(t) = \frac{0 - 10000 *(-\frac{19}{5}) e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we simplify we got this:

$p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we simplify we got:

$p'(t) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

$p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114$

And if we replace t=10 we got:

$p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404$

(d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?

For this case we need to find the second derivate, set equal to 0 and then solve for t. The second derivate is given by:

$p''(t) = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}$

And if we set equal to 0 we got:

$0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}$

And then:

$0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)$

$0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1$

$ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}$

$t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722$

Find the value of x.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$x=11$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Midpoint Theorem states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side.

In this problem

$(x+5)=\frac{1}{2}(3x-1)$

solve for x

Multiply by 2 both sides

$2x+10=3x-1$

subtract 2x both sides

$10=3x-1-2x$

$10=x-1$

Adds 1 both sides

$x=11$
