Answer:

About 7,776 dolphins

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential decay function is given by

y=a(1-r)^x

where

y is the number of species of dolphins

x is the number of years

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

a=20,000\\r=3.1\%=3.1/100=0.031

substitute

y=20,000(1-0.031)^x

y=20,000(0.969)^x

How many dolphins will there be in 30 years?

For x=30 years

substitute in the equation

y=20,000(0.969)^{30}=7,776

Which pair of monomials has the least common multiple (LCM) of 54x2y3?
Lera25 [3.4K]

ANSWER

The correct answer is D.

EXPLANATION

If we express the monomial,

18 {x}^{2} y

as product of primes, we obtain:

2 \times  {3}^{2}  \times  {x}^{2}y

If we express the monomial

27x {y}^{3}

as product of primes we obtain:

=  {3}^{3}  \times x {y}^{3}

The least common multiple of these two binomials is the product of the highest powers of the common factors.

The LCM is

= 2 \times  {3}^{3}  \times  {x}^{2} {y}^{3}

=54 {x}^{2} {y}^{3}

Therefore the correct answer is D.

The coefficients corresponding to k = 0, 1, 2, ..., 6 in the expansion of (x + y)^6 are _____.
Kryger [21]
Using the triangle of pascal we have that the expression equivalent to (x + y) ^ 6 is given by:
 x ^ 6 + 6x ^ 5y + 15x ^ 4y ^ 2 + 20x ^ 3y ^ 3 + 15x ^ 2y ^ 4 + 6xy ^ 5 + y ^ 6
 Therefore, the coefficients of the expansion are given by:
 1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1
 Answer:
 
The coefficients corresponding to k = 0, 1, 2, ..., 6 in the expansion of (x + y) ^ 6 are 1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1
