I NEED HELP ASAP! : An initial population of 175 quail increases at an annual rate of 22%. Write an exponential function to mode

l the quail population. What will the approximate population be after 5 years?

Answer:

About 473 quails.

$P=175(1.22)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation with $P_0$ as the initial amount and rate of r is:

$P=P_0(1+r)^t$

$P=175(1+.22)^t$

$P=175(1.22)^t$

After 5 years the population will be:

$P=175(1.22)^5$

$P \approx 472.9739$

So the population will be about 473 quails.

Twin brothers, Billy and Bobby, can mow their grandparent's lawn together in 53 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself

podryga [215]

5353 minutes = 89.22 hours
Maybe the figures should be 53 and 20??

Let's let Billy = A
The formula to use for work problems is
Time = (A*B) / (A+B)

53 = ( (A +20)* A) / (A +20 + A) )
53 = ( A^2 + 20A ) / (2A + 20)
A^2 + 20A -106A -1060
A^2 -86A -1060
A = 96.935

Use the Trapezoidal Rule, the Midpoint Rule, and Simpson's Rule to approximate the given integral with the specified value of n.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Split up the integration interval into 4 subintervals:

$\left[0,\dfrac\pi8\right],\left[\dfrac\pi8,\dfrac\pi4\right],\left[\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac{3\pi}8\right],\left[\dfrac{3\pi}8,\dfrac\pi2\right]$

The left and right endpoints of the $i$ -th subinterval, respectively, are

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{(i-1)\pi}8$

$r_i=\dfrac i4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{i\pi}8$

for $1\le i\le4$ , and the respective midpoints are

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{(2i-1)\pi}8$

Trapezoidal rule

We approximate the (signed) area under the curve over each subinterval by

$T_i=\dfrac{f(\ell_i)+f(r_i)}2(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4T_i\approx\boxed{3.038078}$

Midpoint rule

We approximate the area for each subinterval by

$M_i=f(m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4M_i\approx\boxed{2.981137}$

Simpson's rule

We first interpolate the integrand over each subinterval by a quadratic polynomial $p_i(x)$ , where

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx$

It so happens that the integral of $p_i(x)$ reduces nicely to the form you're probably more familiar with,

$S_i=\displaystyle\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{r_i-\ell_i}6(f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i))$

Then the integral is approximately

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4S_i\approx\boxed{3.000117}$

Compare these to the actual value of the integral, 3. I've included plots of the approximations below.

Write the numbers in order from least to greatest. 8/10, -.82, 2.5, -9.5

Art [367]

Answer: -9.5, -.82, 8/10, 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-9.5 is the least because the bigger the negative number is the smaller it's value is (opposite of positive numbers)

-.82 same thing

8/10 or .8

2.5 same thing as 2.50 so what is greater $2.50 or $0.80 exactly 2.50 is greater so it's the greatest

The width of a rectangle is 7/15 of its length. The width of the rectangle is 56 cm. Find the length of the rectangle.

Hoochie [10]

W = 7/15 L

w = 56

56 = 7/15 L

56 x 15/7 = 7/15 x7 L

L = 120
