Set up a proportion do so for X in the following similar triangles​

Mathematics
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so we'll set up a proportion:

=> \frac{2}{15} =\frac{8}{x-4}

Cross Multiplying

=> 2(x-4) = 15 x 8

=> 2x-8 = 120

=> 2x = 120+8

=> 2x = 128

Dividing both sides by 2

=> x = 64

Zoologists are studying two newly discovered species of insects in a previously unexplored section of rain forest. They estimate
salantis [7]
The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation 
     Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t 
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is 
     Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t

We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal: 
     Pa = Pb
     1.3(1-0.038)^t  = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
     1.3(0.962)^t  = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.

We can now solve for t:
     (0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
     (0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
     t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
     t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.
