$0.2(x + 1) + 0.5x = -0.3(x - 4)$

$0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2

 
$

$0.7x+0.2=-0.3x+1.2$

$0.7x=-0.3x+1.2-0.2$

$0.7x=-0.3x+1$

$0.7x+0.3x=1$

$x=1$

Answer: The required value of x is 1.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the value of x in the following equation :

$0.2(x+1)+0.5x=-0.3(x-4)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

To find the value of x in the above equation, we must solve the equation (i) as follows :

$0.2(x+1)+0.5x=-0.3(x-4)\\\\\Rightarrow 0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2\\\\\Rightarrow 0.7x+0.2=-0.3x+1.2\\\\\Rightarrow 0.7x+0.3x=1.2-0.2\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.$

Thus, the required value of x is 1.

A population of 200 animals has a growth rate of 1.03% each year. at this growth rate, the function f(x)=200(1.03)^x gives the p

Y_Kistochka [10]

For this case, the first thing we should do is use the following equation:
f (x) = 200 (1.03) ^ x
We substitute f (x) = 300:
300 = 200 (1.03) ^ x
We clear the value of x:
log1.03 (300/200) = log1.03 ((1.03) ^ x)
x = log1.03 (300/200)
x = 13.72
Answer:
the population will first reach 300 in about 13.72 years.

Need to find the direction angle for each vector. #10 and #12 please!

Answer:

10) - 45 degrees

12) 0 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

10)

Find the x and y components that define the vector that joins C with D:

x-component: -4 - (-8) = - 4 + 8 = 4

y-component: 4 - 8 = -4

use the tangent function to find the angle $\theta$ :

$tan(\theta)=\frac{y-comp}{x-comp}=\frac{-4}{4} = -1\\\theta = -45^o$

12)

Find the x and y components that define the vector that joins A with B:

x-component: 7 - 4 = 3

y-component: - 1 - (-1) = -1 + 1 = 0

use the tangent function to find the angle $\theta$ :

$tan(\theta)=\frac{y-comp}{x-comp}=\frac{0}{3} = 0\\\theta = 0^o$
