In 1859, 24 rabbits were released into the wild in Australia, where they had no natural predators. Their population grew exponen

tially, doubling every 6 months.
a. Determine P(t), the function that gives the population at time t, and the differential equation describing the population growth.
b. After how many years, rounded to one digit after the decimal point, did the rabbit population reach 1,000,000?
c. Determine the rate of population change, in rabbits/year, midway through the third year. (Warning: t is not 3.5, just like the year midway through the 21st century is not 2150.) Round the final answer to 2 digits after the decimal point.

Answer:

a) P' = P

   P(t) = 24e^{0.693t} where t is step of 6 months

b) 7.7 years

c)1064.67 rabbits/year

Step-by-step explanation:

The differential equation describing the population growth is

\frac{dP}{dt} = P

Where t is the range of 6 months, or half of a year.

P(t) would have the form of

P(t) = P_0e^{kt}

where P_0 = 24 is the initial population

After 6 month (t = 1), the population is doubled to 48

P(1) = 24e^k = 48

e^k = 2

k = ln(2) = 0.693

Therefore P(t) = 24e^{0.693t}

where t is step of 6 months

b. We can solve for t to get how long it takes to get to a population of 1,000,000:

24e^{0.693t} = 1000000

e^{0.693t} = 1000000 / 24 = 41667

0.693t = ln(41667) = 10.64

t = 10.64 / 0.693 = 15.35

So it would take 15.35 * 0.5 = 7.7 years to reach 1000000

c. P' = P_0ke^{kt}

We need to resolve for k if t is in the range of 1 year. In half of a year (t = 0.5), the population is 48

24e^{0.5k) = 48

0.5k = ln2 = 0.693

k = 1.386

Therefore, P' = 1.386*24e^{1.386t}

At the mid of the 3rd year, where t = 2.5, we can calculate P'

P' = 1.386*24e^{1.386*2.5} = 1064.67 rabbits/year

Triangle ABC has coordinates A(1, 4); B(3, -2); and C(4, 2). Find the coordinates of the image A'B'C' after a reflection over th
marin [14]

Answer:

        Co ordinate of A' = (1, -4)

        Co ordinate of B' = (3, 2)

        Co ordinate of C' = (4, -2)

Explanation:

 The figure of the triangle is shown below.

  If we are finding image of the triangle about X-axis all the x -co-ordinates will remain same, but y co-ordinate will change it's sign.

 So, co ordinate of A' = (1, -4)

        Co ordinate of B' = (3, 2)

        Co ordinate of C' = (4, -2)

1. Solve the equation using the zero-product property.<br> -x(5x – 4) = 0
Oxana [17]

Answer:

x = 0, 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero-product property states that if the product of a and b is zero, then either a = 0, b = 0, or both terms equal zero

  • Here our a term is -x and our b term is (5x - 4)
  • Setting each term equal to zero and solving for x we get
  • -x = 0 → x = 0
  • 5x - 4 = 0 → 5x = 4 → x = 4/5

The table gives the surface areas, in square kilometres, of five seas.
zlopas [31]

The table is missing, so i have attached it.

Also, the correct question is;

The surface area of the East China Sea is k times the surface area of the Baltic Sea.

Work out the value of k.

Give your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached table,

Surface area of east china = 1.25 × 10^(6) km²

Surface area of Baltic sea = 4.22 × 10^(5) km² = 0.422 × 10^(6) km²

We are told that the surface area of East China Sea is k times that of the surface area of the Baltic Sea.

Thus;

1.25 × 10^(6) = k × 0.422 × 10^(6)

k = 1.25/0.422

k = 2.96

Approximating to whole number gives;

k = 3
