There are 20 parrots at the animal sanctuary. Their population is increasing at a rate of 15% per year. There are also 24 snakes

at the sanctuary. Each year 4 more snakes are born. Part A: Write functions to represent the numbers of parrots and snakes at the sanctuary throughout the years. (4 points) Part B: How many parrots are at the sanctuary after 10 years? How many snakes are at the sanctuary after the same number of years? Assume there are no deaths to the animals during this time. (2 points) Part C: After approximately how many years is the number of parrots and snakes the same? Justify your answer mathematically. (4 points)

A.
y = 20(1.15)^x.....parrots
y = 4x + 24.....snakes

B. after 10 yrs
y = 20(1.15^10)
y = 20(4.05)
y = 81 parrots

y = 4(10) + 24
y = 40 + 24
y = 64 snakes

C.
20(1.15)^x = 4x + 24
x = 6.63 years they will be the same

An individual is planning a trip to a baseball game for 16 people. Of the people planning to go to the baseball game, 8 can go o
Sedaia [141]

Answer: There are 4 people who only go to the game on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people go on Saturday be n(A).

Let the number of people go on Sunday be n(B).

Since we have given that

n(A) = 8

n(B) = 12

n(A∪B)  = 16

According to rules, we get that

n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=n(A\cup B)\\\\8+12-n(A\cap B)=16\\\\20-n(A\cap B)=16\\\\n(A\cap B)=20-16=4

So, n(only go on Saturday) = n(only A) = n(A) - n(A∩B) = 8-4 = 4

Hence, there are 4 people who only go to the game on Saturday.

Can someone please teach me how to do this? You can please do like 2 questions and please explain exactly how you got the answer
spayn [35]

All of these questions require one thing: trigonometric functions.

There are 3 main trigonometric functions, which can only be used on right triangles: sine, cosine, and tangent.

Sine = opposite / hypotenuse

Cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

When trying to figure out what function to use, we always start by looking from the angle. Take problem a, for example. Looking from angle E, of which the value is not given, we have the side opposite and the side adjacent. Therefore, we should use the tangent function.

---The hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle. It is never considered the opposite or adjacent side.

Let's set up our function with the given information from problem a.

tan(x) = 9.7 / 5.2

---The tangent of an unknown angle is equal to the quotient of the opposite side and the adjacent side.

Now, solving for the value of x will require a calculator. We'll need to use what's called an inverse trigonometric function. Most calculators have these directly above the regular trigonometric functions, and the inverse functions are accessed using a "second" key.

---Ensure that your calculator is in degrees, not radians!

x = tan^-1(9.7 / 5.2)

x = 61.805 = 62 degrees

Next, let's take a look at problem b. This time, we're solving for a side length instead of an angle. But, we're still going to start by looking from our angle.


Looking from the 38 degree angle, we are given the adjacent side and an unknown hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use the cosine function.

cosine(38) = 53.1 / r

---The cosine of a 38 degree angle is equal to the quotient of 53.1 and an unknown hypotenuse, r.

Use your algebra skills to isolate the variable r.

r * cosine(38) = 53.1

r = 53.1 / cosine(38)

---From here, all you need to do is plug this into your calculator. Since we are solving for a side length (and given an angle), we are just using the regular trigonometric function buttons on the calculator.

r = 67.385 = 67.4 units

Hope this helps!

Solve the following exponential equation:<br><br>5^x=2 <br><br>e^x=10​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Number 1.

5^x=2, first we will take the log of both of these numbers getting us,

x=\frac{log(2)}{log(5)}, which then gives us that x=0.4306777777....

Number 2

e^x=10, solve for our exponent, 2.718282^x=10, use the logarithmic formula, and we get,

x=\frac{log(10)}{log(2.718282)}, which then we get that x=2.302585
