Suppose that the number of newborns (N) in an insect population can be predicted from the number of adult insects (I) according

to the following equation, where r and b are variables related to the rates of population growth: N=rI−bI2. Calculate N if r=1.5, b=0.0015, and I=500. Rounding to the nearest whole number, N equals which of the following?
a) 1880
b) 375
c) 188
d) 749

Answer:

d: 749

Explanation:

From the equation, N = rl - bl2, where N is the number of newborns, l is the number of adult insects, and r and b are variables; with all the components given, N can be calculated by direct substitution.

Since r = 1.5, b = 0.0015, and l = 500, therefore, substitute for r, b, and l to get N such that;

N = 1.5(500) - (0.0015)(500)2

         750 - 1.5

N = 748.5

Rounding to the nearest whole number. N = 749.

<em>The correct answer is d.</em>

External ear structure that helps to localize the direction from which sound arises
Step2247 [10]
The external ear structure is called the Pinna.

The Pinna helps to channel sound waves into the ear.

Many animals have the ability to move their pinna towards the direction of sound.

I have attached an image of a dog's ear to show you the external structure called the Pinna.

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

10 points for each answer, I'm not afraid to report. The graph is shown in the picture.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Location A

Explanation:

Coastal areas have milder temperatures since they are close to water and water retains heat better than land (it's harder to warm it up and harder to cool it down). Due to this property of water, the location with the least temperature fluctuation would be the answer. Location A has the smallest range between the highest and lowest annual temperatures, making A the best answer choice. I hope I helped and that it's not too late for you.
