Answer:
It represents a linear function and there will be 216 ants after 1 year
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."
In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows
2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .
So the statement is true.
B)
"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."
This statement appears to be false based on information provided
No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.
C)
"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet.
"
This statement prima-facie appears to be true because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .
D )
"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"
this statement is true
as change in one year = .4
change in 5 years = 5 x .4
Using the formula for the area of a triangle we can solve for the base.
The formula for area of a triangle is : Area = 1/2 x base x height
We are given the area and the height:
33.6 = 1/2 x 4 x base
Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the 1/2:
67.2 = 4 x base
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for the base:
67.2 /4 = 16.8
Check: Area = 1/2 x 4 x 16.8 = 33.6
The base is 16.8 inches.
