A biologist is comparing the growth of a population of flies per week to the number of flies a lizard will consume per week. SHe

has devised an equation to solve for which day(x) the lizard would be able to eat the entire population. The equation is 3^x=5x-1
Explain the biologist how she can solve this on a graph using a system of equation

This equation can be solved graphically by plotting the equations
  f(x) = 3^x
and
  g(x) = 5x-1.

The x-coordinate of the point(s) of intersection is the solution.

_____
On my graphing calculator, I find it easier to locate x-intercepts, so I would rewrite the equation as
  3^x -(5x -1) = 0
and plot the function
  h(x) = 3^x -(5x -1)
The x-intercept(s) would be the solutions. (There are two: x≈0.577, x=2.)

I think the first one is correct. Since “three less than z squared” insinuate that the value is 3 units less than the value z^2

Solve by factoring.<br><br> m^2+6m+5=0
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

<u>-1 and -5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

m^2 + 6m + 5 = 0 is factored to: (m + 1)(m + 5) = 0.

The zero product property states that one of the represented parenthesis must equal zero to satisfy the right side of the equation.

(m + 1) = 0

(-1 + 1) = 0

This means that one of the values for m is -1.

(m + 5) = 0

(-5 + 5) = 0

This means that one of the values for m is -5.

<u>Moreover, the value of m by factoring is -1 and -5</u>

Maurice made a model of the steel tabletop his model measures 7 inches by 13 inches is the model simular to the original

The first example has students building upon the previous lesson by applying the scale factor to find missing dimensions. This leads into a discussion of whether this method is the most efficient and whether they could find another approach that would be simpler, as demonstrated in Example 2. Guide students to record responses and additional work in their student materials.

§ How can we reconsider finding an actual length without dividing?
ú We can let the scale drawing be the first image and the actual picture be the second image. We can calculate the scale factor that relates the given scale drawing length, , to the actual length,. If the actual picture is an enlargement from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is greater than one or
> 1. If the actual picture is a reduction from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is less than one or < 1.
Scaffolding:
A reduction has a scale factor less than 1, and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.
