5. A wooded area in a state park has a mixture of different types of trees. There are 800 pine trees and 50 oak trees. The numbe

r of pine trees is decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. The number of oak trees is increasing at a rate of 15% per year. If these trends continue:
A. Write two functions to model this situation and graph those two functions on the same coordinate grid. Two functions for this model would be:
y = 800(.95)^x
y = 50(1.15)^x
B. During what year in the future will the park have approximately the same number of pine and maple trees?

The functions in part A are correct, we will now use them to solve for part B.
We equate the numbers of the trees in order to find x, which the number of years after which they will be equal.
800(0.95)ˣ = 50(1.15)ˣ
40 = (1.15 / .95)ˣ
Taking log₁₀ on both sides,
log(40) = x*log(1.15/0.95)
x = 19.31 years

3. Given that a is 30% of b, find the value of a/4b
Karolina [17]

Answer:

a/4b = 0.075

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 30% of b

a = 30/100 × b

a = 0.3b

The value of a/4b is calculated as:

= 0.3b/4b

= 0.075

Given that R = 8 x + 4 y Find y when x = 8 and R = 30 Give your answer as an improper fraction in its simplest form.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

y = -17/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute with the givens.

30= 8(8) + 4y.

Multiply parentheses.

30 = 64 + 4y

Subtract.

30-64= -34

-34 = 4y.

Divide each side by 4.

y = - 8.5, or -17/2

hope that is right!

Analyze the polynomial function ​f(x)equalsnegative 4 (x plus 3 )(x minus 4 )cubed using parts​ (a) through​ (e).a) Determine th
Ksju [112]

Answer:

a) f(x) tends to minus infinity

b) (0,768) is the y-intercept, (4,0) and (-3,0) are the x-intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our function is f(x)=-4(x+3)(x-4)^3 a polynomial of degree 4.

a) The monomial with highest degree determines the behavior of f(x) when x tends to infinity and when x tends to -infinity. This monomial is -4x⁴. Without expanding completely, (x-4)³ has x³ as a summand, which multiplies with -4x from the first factor, to give -4x⁴. When x goes to infinity (or minus infinitive), x²=(x²)² is positive (nonzero squares are always positive) thus -4x² is negative, and f(x) tends to minus infinity.

b). To find the y-intercept, we compute (0,f(0)). Since f(0)=-4(3)(-4)³=768, then (0,768) is the point of the y-intercept.

For the x-intercept, solve f(x)=0. f(x)=0 has the solutions x=-3 and x=4. In this case, the x-intercept is in both x=0 and x=4. Then (-3,0) and (4,0) are x-intercepts.
