The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of

other factors, the population doubles each week. There are 400,000 mosquitoes in the area initially, and predators (birds, bats, and so forth) eat 40,000 mosquitoes/day. Determine the population of mosquitoes in the area at any time. (Note that the variable t represents days.) Enter an exact answer.

Answer:

P=400000(2^t)-40000t

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of mosquitoes is 400000, and they double each day. This represents an exponential growth equation. If t represent days and P represent the population of the mosquitoes, hence this can be represented by the equation:

P=400000(2^t)

Also, the predators eat the mosquitoes at a rate of 40,000 mosquitoes/day. This means that each day, the mosquitoes reduce by 40000t, therefore this can be represented by:

P=400000(2^t)-40000t

In the right triangle shown, A= 30° and AB = 8.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

BC=4\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

sin(30^o)=\frac{BC}{AB} ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

we have

AB=8\ units\\\\sin(30^o)=\frac{1}{2}

solve for BC

BC=sin(30^o)(AB)

substitute the values

BC=(\frac{1}{2})(8)

BC=4\ units

Solve for the missing length and the other two angles in the triangle below
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

AC = 3.72 units

Angles:

A = 132.6°

C = 27.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

AC² = 5² + 8² - 2(5)(8)cos(20)

AC² = 13.82459034

AC = 3.718143399

3.718143399/sin20 = 8/sinA

sinA = 0.7358944647

A = 180 - 47.38285134

A = 132.6171487

3.718143399/sin20 = 5/sinC

sinC = 0.4599340405

C = 27.38285134

Find the third number if their average is 6 and two of them are 6 and 7​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

If their average is 6 and there are three numbers in total, the total sum of the three numbers would be:

6×3 = 18

You know that two of them is 6 and 7, so you can find the last number easily.

18-6-7 = 5
