In 1985 a biologist counted 750 pine trees in a 250 hectare forest. Using similar counting techniques, the biologist counted 1,2

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Suppose that we have a given function f(x)

The average rate of change of the function between two values x₁ and x₂ is given by:

$r = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

a) We want to find the average (rate) of change on the size of population from 1985 to 1995.

We have that:

f(1985) = 750

f(1995) = 1500

Then we have:

$r = \frac{1500 - 750}{1995 - 1985} = 750/10 = 75$

This means that the population of trees increases, in average, at a rate of 75 trees per year.

b) What is the density of trees each year that they were counted?

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of trees and the area.

1985: number of trees = 750 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1985) = (750 pines)/(250 ha) = 3 pines/ha

So 1985, there were 3 pines per hectare.

1990: number of trees = 1250 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1990) = (1250 pines)/(250 ha) = 5 pines/ha

1995: number of trees = 1500 pines

area = 250 ha

The density is:

D(1995) = (1500 pines)/(250 ha) = 6 pines/ha

3) now we want to get the average change between 1985 and 1995 in the density, this will be:

$r = \frac{D(1995) - D(1885)}{1995 - 1985} = \frac{6 pines/ha - 3pines/ha}{10} = 0.3 pines/ha$

So, on average, each year the number of pines per hectare increases by 0.3

Which of the following explains why nonrenewable energy resources are still so widely used. Select multiple

egoroff_w [7]

Non renewable resources can be very expensive, especially in capital outlay. For example, wind energy is very expensive to get started. The batteries alone are a headache. What do you do with those batteries whose life is over? How do you dispose of them? It isn't an easy problem to solve.

Then there's the labor part of wind energy. If they are manufactured in Denver Co and they receive an order from Maine, the blades require a wooden plywood box to be made. Plywood is roughly 20$ a 1/2 sheet (in Canada) to say nothing of the carpenter needed to make the box. I'm told that it takes a good day and one half just to make that box alone. That's for 1 blade. Then there's the shipping cost for 3 blades. Then there's the cost of making the blades which require highly skilled workers.

Then there's the problem of wind, (or lack thereof). the problems just keep on going up and the expenses with them.
