Answer:

The population increased by 34.69% over 20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the population of dolphins increases at a constant rate of 1.5% every year for 20 years.

Formula for population increase:

P=a(1+r)^t

where, a is initial population, r is growth rate and t is time in years.

If the population of dolphins increases at a constant rate of 1.5% every year for 20 years, then the population after 20 years is

P=a(1+0.015)^{20}

P=a(1.015)^{20}

P=1.346855a

Where, a is the initial population.

The total percentage increase over the 20 years is

\% change=\frac{P-a}{a}\times 100

where, P is population after 20 years and a is initial amount.

\% change=\frac{1.346855a-a}{a}\times 100

\% change=\frac{0.346855a}{a}\times 100

\% change=0.346855\times 100

\% change=34.6855

\% change\approx 34.69

Therefore the population increased by 34.69% over 20 years.

The British Queen is to receive 4 foreign dignitaries. The digni- taries are sensitive to the order in which they are received.
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Number of Ways = ₄P₄ = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are going to be 4 dignitaries, and that they are sensitive to the order (i.e the order of the dignitaries matter), hence the total number of ways they can be arranged can be found by permutating 4 dignitaries.

i.e

Number of Ways = ₄P₄ = 24

Who is sacatoa joe in geometry
valkas [14]
I think that you are mistaking the memory tool for something else
or a math book is trying to make math cute by calling them 'socatoa joe' and 'mr. pi' and such


anyway, SOH, CAH, TOA is the way to remember
Sine=oposite/hypotonuse
Cosine=adjacent/hypotonuse
Tangent=oposite/adjacent

(oposite side=side oposite the angle
adjacent is the side touching the angle that is not they hypotonuse
and of course the hypotonuse is the longest side aka, side oposite right angle)
