1. can't be determined cause no info given on the rate of which the population is growing.
2. can't be determined/not true because the initial population of a could be less than b.
3. can't be determined/not true because we don't have enough info to tell how fast they grow and decline.

Answer:
240 ft by 480 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is maximized when the long side is half the total length of the fence. That makes the short side (out from the river) be half the length of the long side.
The fenced field dimensions are 240 feet by 480 feet.
__
You can let x represent the length of the long side. Then the length of the short side is half the remaining fence: (960 -x)/2.
The total area is the product of these dimensions:
A = x(960 -x)/2
We note that this is the equation of a parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=960. The maximum will be found on the line of symmetry, halfway between the zeros. That is at x = (0 +960)/2 = 480.
The area is maximized for a long-side dimension of 480 feet. The short sides are 240 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
107 / 1000 = 0.107
The sequence is an arithmetic sequence with
a₁ = -4
d = a₂ - a₁
d = -1 - (-4)
d = -1 + 4
d = 3
an = x
Sn = 437
General formula in arithmetic sequence
Formula to find nth term
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
Formula to find sum of sequence (sn)
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
We have to make an equation system based on the problem
plug the numbers into the formula
First equation
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3n - 3
x = 3n - 7
Second equation
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
n/2 (a₁ + an) = 437
n/2 (-4 + x) = 437
n(x - 4) = 874
xn - 4n = 874
Solve the equation system by subtitution method
Subtitute x with 3n - 7 in the second equation
xn - 4n = 874
(3n - 7)n - 4n = 874
3n² - 7n - 4n = 874
3n² - 11n - 874 = 0
(3n + 46)(n - 19) = 0
n = -46/3 or n = 19
Because the number of terms shouldn't be negative, -46/3 isn't required, so the value of n is 19.
Solve for x, back to the first equatin
x = 3n - 7
x = 3(19) - 7
x = 57 - 7
x = 50
The solution is 50
