1) A population of genetically modified

TiliK225 [7]

This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.

So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.

There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.

Do 8feet + 10feet + 12feet make a right triangle

bija089 [108]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangle side lengths are an arithmetic sequence (have a common difference), they must have the ratios 3:4:5 to make a right triangle. Here, the ratios of the side lengths are 4:5:6, so will not be a right triangle.

The junior and senior students at Mathville High School are going to present an exciting musical entitled, "Math, What is it Goo

xeze [42]

Some parts are missing in the queston. Find attached the picture with the complete question

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{161}}$

Explanation:

Let's put the information in a table step-by step.

(number of remaining students)

Juniors Seniors

Condition

Initially J S

15 seniors left S - 15

Twice juniors as seniors 2(S - 15)

3/4 of the juniors left 1/4×2(S - 15)
1/3 of seniors left 2/3×(S - 15)

At the end, there were 8 more seniors than juniors:

2/3×(S - 15) - 1/4×2(S - 15) = 8

Now you have obtained one equation, which you can solve to find S, the number of senior students, and then the number of junior students.

Solve the equation:

$2/3\times (S - 15) - 1/4\times 2(S - 15) = 8$

Mutilply all by 12:

$8(S - 15)-6(S - 15)=96$

Distribution property:

$8S-120-6S-90=96$

Addtion property of equalities:

$8S-6S=96+120+90$

Add like terms:

$2S=306$

Division property of equalities:

$S=306/2=153$

That is the number of senior students that came out to the information meeting, but the number of students remaining to perform in the school musical is (from the table above):

$2/3\times (S-15)+1/4\times 2(S-15)$
