3.If the ratio of lynx to mountain lions and wolverines in the park is 2:3:1.So for every 2 lynx, there are 3 mountain lions and

1 wolverine.
a.if there were 6 lynx, how many wolverine would be in the park?

b.If there were 15 mountain lion,how many lynx would be in the park?

c.if there were 10 wolverine in the park, how many mountain
lions?

A.  The ratio of lynx to mountain lions to wolverines is 2:3:1.

Thus, there are 2 lynx in the ratio.  If there were 6 lynx, we would have to multiply all of the numbers in the ratio by 3 (because 6/2 = 3) to keep the ratio in the same proportion.  

Therefore, because there is 1 wolverine in the ratio, and 1 * 3 = 3, if there were 6 lynx, there would be 3 wolverines.

b. We can use the same ideas that we had in part a to help us in part b.
There are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, but there are 15 mountain lions in the problem.  Thus, the multiplier is 5, because 15/3=5.

Therefore, because there are 2 lynx in the ratio, and 2*5 = 10, if there were 15 mountain lions, there would be 10 lynx.

c.  There is one wolverine in the ratio, but there are 10 wolverines in the problem.  Thus, the multiplier is 10, because 10/1 = 10

Therefore, because there are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, and 3 * 10 = 30, if there were 10 wolverines in the park, then there would be 30 mountain lions.

d.  The total number of lynx, mountain lions, and wolverines is 30.
To find out how many of each animal there should be, we must make an equation using the ratio and the variable x. 

2x + 3x + 1x = 30

This equation means that the total number of animals together is 30, which is true.  Now let's simplify by combining like terms.

6x = 30

Finally, we can simplify by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x, or 6.

x = 5

Thus, going back to our original equation, we know that the amount of lynx is 2x, mountain lions is 3x, and wolverines is 1x.

Lynx = 2x = 2(5) = 10 lynx
Mountain Lion = 3x = 3(5) = 15 mountain lions
Wolverines = 1x = 1(5) = 5 wolverines

Hope this helps! :)

Solve the system of equations.<br><br><br> 2x + 3y = 1<br> y = 3x + 15
MrMuchimi
Since y=3x+15
sub 3x+15 for y in other equation

2x+3(3x+15)=1
2x+9x+45=1
minus 45
11x=-44
divide 11
x=-4

sub
y=3x+15
y=3(-4)+15
y=-12+15
y=3

Find the critical numbers of the function f(x) = x6(x − 1)5 what does the first derivative test tell you that the second derivat
patriot [66]
The given function is f(x) = x⁶(x-1)⁵

The first derivative is
f'(x) = 6x⁵(x-1)⁵ + 5x⁶(x-1)⁴
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(6x - 6 + 5x)
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(11x - 6)
The critical values are the zeros of f'(x). They are
x = 0, 6/11, and 1.
The critical values indicate that turning points exist for f(x) at the critical points. However, we do not know the nature of the turning points.

Write the first derivative in the form f'(x) = (x-1)⁴(11x⁶ - 6x⁵).
The second derivative is
f''(x) = 4(x-1)³(11x⁶ - 6x⁵) + (x-1)⁴(66x⁵ - 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(44x⁶ - 24x⁵ + 66x⁶ - 30x⁵ - 66x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(110x⁶ - 120x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = 10x⁴(x-1)³(11x² - 12x + 3)
The sign of f''(x) at the critical values tell us the nature of the turning point.

f''(0) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x = 0.
f''(6/11) > 0, therefore a local minumum exists at x = 6/11.
f''(1) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x=1.

The graphs shown below confirm these results.
