<span>(a) At the end of Month 0, about how many more insects were in Pod A than Pod B? Explain.
In Pod A, the point is higher than 50, it could be 60 to 70 insects. Pod B has 20 insects. So, Pod A has at least 40 insects more than Pod B.
(b) Find and compare the growth rates of each pod. Show your work.
Pod A: (0,60) ; (1,80) ; (2,100)
(80-60)/60 = 0.33
(100-80)/80 = 0.25
Pod B: (0,20) ; (1,44) ; (2,97)
(44-20)/20 = 1.2
(97-44)/44 = 1.2
Based on my computation, the rate of Pod A is lower than the rate of Pod B.
(c) When does the population in Pod B exceed the population in Pod A? Explain.
Pob B exceeds the population of Pod A at the END OF MONTH 4.
Pod A has a population of less than 200 while Pod B has a population of 469.</span>
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Intersections on the x axis occur when y = 0. f(x) is another term for y, so set f(x) equal to zero and solve for the two possible x's.
0 = x^2 - 3x - 40
0 = (x-8)(x+5)
By solving for x, you get 8 and -5. 8 and -5 added together will equal 3.
you have to start at -2 on the y axis and go up 4 and across 7 and keep going until you're off the graph
Since (4y-42) and 2y are opposite angles, they equal to each other which looks like this:
4y-42 = 2y
From there you want to put the y onto one side:
4y-2y-42=0 -----> 2y-42=0
You want to balance the equation out and move the -42 onto the other side so you add it to both sides to get:
2y=42
Then divide both sides by 2 to get:
y= 21
From there you can plug 21 back into the original equation to find each angle.
4(21)-42 = 2(21) ---> 84-42 = 42 ---> 42 = 42
So y = 21 and each angle is 42 degrees
