Part 2: The Zombie Assassin

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tatiana [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:  See below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

            y = a(b)ˣ

  • y: final population of zombies
  • a: initial population of zombies
  • b: rate of decrease
  • x: number of hours

Given: a = 500,000   b = 50% (0.5)    

           y = 500,000(0.5)ˣ

Since we want to know the number assassinated (A), subtract the total from the final population of zombies

A = 500,000 - y

a) Equation: 500,000 - 500,000(0.5)ˣ

b)

\begin{array}{c|c|c||l|c}\underline{\quad a\quad}&\underline{\quad b\quad}&\underline{\quad x\quad}&\underline{\quad 500,000(0.5)^x=y \qquad}&\underline{\quad 500,000-y=A\quad}\\500,000&0.5&5&500,000(0.5)^5=15,625&\bold{484,375}\\500,000&0.5&10&500,000(0.5)^{10}=488&\bold{499,512}\\500,000&0.5&15&500,000(0.5)^{15}=15&\bold{499,985}\\500,000&0.5&20&500,000(0.5)^{20}=0&\bold{500,000}\\\end{array}

(Graph attached)

c) The assassins will earn 100,000 + 2(499,985) = $1,099,970 after 15 hours.

The number of zombies needed to assassinate in order to earn $1,000,000:

100,000 + 2z = 1,000,000

                 2z =   900,000

                   z =   450,000

d) How long will it take to eliminate all of the zombies?

   The population of zombies is zero when x = 20 hours

   How much money did the assassinators earn?

   100,000 + 2(500,000) = $1,100,000

I don’t even know what i’m doing anymore. aren’t there supposed to be two answers??
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

a>4

Step-by-step explanation:

-7a-11<1-4a

ADD 4a to both sides

-3a-11 <1

Add 11 to both sides

-3a <12

Divide both sides by 3

-a <4

Multiply by -1 both sides and FLIP SIGN

a>4

So  a should be 5 ,6,7,8.........

On the number line you need to count from zero  4 units to the right (positive 4) Once you are in number 4 draw an open circle which means the 4 is NOT included) Draw a line from 4 to the right because it is bigger than 4.

Interval notation is (4,∞)

[ ] a square bracket when we want to include the number 4

( ) a round bracket when we don't want to include the number 4

The distance Max's bike moves is directly proportional to how many rotations his bike's crank shaft has
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

187.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Max's bike moves 25 feet after two rotations

so

using proportion

Find out how many feet will the bike move after 15 rotations

Let

x ----> the distance in feet

\frac{25}{2}\frac{ft}{rev}=\frac{x}{15}\frac{ft}{rev}\\\\x=15(25)/2\\\\x=187.5\ ft

Help me pleaseeeeeee
iogann1982 [59]
You start by finding two points on the line. In this case, (-4,1) and (-2,2) will do.

To get from (-4,1) to (-2,2), you need to go “up 1, right 2” which gives you a slope of m = 1/2

Next you need the b-value, which comes from the y-intercept of (0,3). The b-value is 3.

Putting the slope and b-value into y=mx+b, you have y = 1/2 x + 3.
