<span>Benchmark fractions are created when we make two different fractions have the same numerator or denominator. In thisi case, we will produce the same denominator. The LCM of 10 and 12 is 60. So the fractions become 42/60 and 25/60. Since the fraction with the larger numerator has a larger value when the denominators are the same, 7/10 is larger than 5/12.</span>

A moose population is growing exponentially following the pattern in the table shown below. Assuming that the pattern continues,
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

  •   <u> 7,692 moose.</u>

Explanation:

The table that shows the pattern for this question is:

Time (year) Population

  0                   40

  1                     62

  2                    96

  3                   149

  4                   231

A growing exponentially pattern may be modeled by a function of the form P(x) = P₀(r)ˣ.

Where P₀ represents the initial population (year = 0), r represents the multiplicative growing rate, and P(x0 represents the population at the year x.

Thus you must find both P₀ and r.

<u>1) P₀ </u>

  Using the first term of the sequence (0, 40) you get:

   P(0) = 40 = P₀ (r)⁰ = P₀ (1) = P₀

Then, P₀ = 40

<u>  2) r</u>

Take two consecutive terms of the sequence:

  • P(0) = 40 r⁰ = 40
  • P(1) = 40 r¹ = 40r = 62
  • P(1) / P(0) = 40r / 40 = 62/40
  • r = 62/40 = 1.55

 

You can verify that, for any other two consecutive terms you get the same result: 96/62 ≈ 149/96 ≈ 231/149 ≈ 1.55

<u>3) Model</u>

 

Thus, your model is P(x) = 40(1.55)ˣ

<u> 4) Population of moose after 12 years</u>

  • P(12) = 40 (1.55)¹² ≈ 7,692.019 ≈ 7,692, which is round to the nearest whole number.

P(x)=5x^2-3x+7(x=1)<br> Pls
kramer

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p(x) = 5x² - 3x + 7 ← substitute x = 1

p(1) = 5(1)² - 3(1) + 7 = 5(1) - 3(1) + 7 = 5 - 3 + 7 = 9

What is the constant of the variation for the inverse variation?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

2nd possible answer is the correct one; the const. of var. is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 1/3 can be rewritten in inverse variation format:  Divide both sides by x to isolate y.  Then y = (1/3)(1/x).  The constant of (inverse) variation is 1/3.
