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

Suppose the solutions of a homogeneous system of four linear equations in five unknowns are all multiples of one nonzero solutio
Akimi4 [234]

Consider a homogeneous machine of four linear equations in five unknowns are all multiples of 1 non-0 solution. Objective is to give an explanation for the gadget have an answer for each viable preference of constants on the proper facets of the equations.

Yes, it's miles true.

Consider the machine as Ax = 0. in which A is 4x5 matrix.

From given dim Nul A=1. Since, the rank theorem states that

The dimensions of the column space and the row space of a mxn matrix A are equal. This not unusual size, the rank of matrix A, additionally equals the number of pivot positions in A and satisfies the equation

rank A+ dim NulA = n

dim NulA =n- rank A

Rank A = 5 - dim Nul A

Rank A = 4

Thus, the measurement of dim Col A = rank A = five

And since Col A is a subspace of R^4, Col A = R^4.

So, every vector b in R^4 also in Col A, and Ax = b, has an answer for all b. Hence, the structures have an answer for every viable preference of constants on the right aspects of the equations.

I dont understand the circled question ....please help!
irina1246 [14]

Parallel lines NEVER intersect/meet, this is because they have the same slope and they go in the same direction.

These lines are parallel because they have the same slopes of 3/4 (because they go 3 units up and 4 units to the right. slope = rise/run)

8x+9y=-28 <br> -4x=y<br> solve the system by subsitution
bixtya [17]

Answer:

x= 1

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 9y = -28

-4x = y

8x + 9(-4x) = -28

8x - 36x = -28

-28x = - 28

x = 1

y = -4(1) = -4

Sarah is purchasing pencils to share. Each package has 12 pencils. The equation n = 12p, where n is the total number of pencils
podryga [215]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Each package has 12 pencils

total number of pencils Sarah purchased: n = 12p

n = total number of pencils

p = number of packages

n depends on p, because the total number of pencils dependos on how many packages she will buy, so:

independent variable: p

dependent variable: n

╔═══╦══════════╦════╗

║ p     ║ n = 12p            ║ n  ║

╠═══╬══════════╬════╣

║ 3     ║ n = 12*3           ║ 36     ║

Consider the continuous random variable x, which has a uniform distribution over the interval from 110 to 150. The probability t
Virty [35]

Answer:

The probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125 is 0.14145

Step-by-step explanation:

For uniform distribution between a & b

Mean, xbar = (a + b)/2

Standard deviation, σ = √((b-a)²/12)

For 110 and 150,

Mean, xbar = (150 + 110)/2 = 130

Standard deviation, σ = √((150-110)²/12 = 11.55

To find the probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125

We need to standardize 120 & 125

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (120 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.87

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (125 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.43

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43) = P(z ≤ -0.43) - P(z ≤ -0.86) = 0.33360 - 0.19215 = 0.14145

Hope this Helps!!!
