2000, since it’s above 1500
Let x = number of years between 1990 and 2000.
Rainbow smelt:
Initial population = 227
Average yearly rate of change = -19.76
The linear function that models the population is
y₁ = 227 - 19.76x
Bloater fish
Initial population = 1052
Average yearly rate of change = -92.57
The linear function that models the population is
y₂ = 1052 - 92.57x
When the two populations are equal, then y₁ = y₂.
That is
227 - 19.76x = 1052 - 92.57x
(92.57 - 19.76)x = 1052 - 227
72.81x = 825
x = 11.33 years
= 11 years, 0.33*12 months
= 11 years, 4 months
Add x to 1990 to obtain the year April 2011.
Answer:
x = 11.33 years.
This occurs in April 2001.
2x-2 must be zero or greater, since we cannot have a negative quantity under the radical sign (unless we allow for imaginary roots).
Solving 2x-2≥0, we get x-1≥0, or x≥1. x must be equal to or greater than 1.
16 - 16, so the answer to the 2nd problem is the fourth one: x=4.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm 99% sure you know the answer to this and didn't have to resort to this website.
3-5 = -2
Subtracting negative numbers means it becomes positive.
So the gist is that your adding 4 and 2 which is 6.
