Answer:

15 crickets; 20 ladybugs

C = G + 10

L= C+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Crickets = C

Ladybugs = L

Grasshoppers = G

We know he found 5 grasshoppers, so:

C = G + 10  --> because he found 10 more crickets than grasshoppers

if we plug in 5 for G (grasshoppers), we can solve for C (crickets):

C= 5+10

<u>15 Crickets</u>

<u />

Now that we know he found 15 crickets we can make our second equation:

L= C+5  --> because he found 5 more ladybugs than crickets

if we plug in 15 C (crickets), we can solve for L (ladybugs):

L= 15+5

<u>20 Ladybugs</u>

Suppose a set of data about the spread (in hundreds of acres) of a food-borne bacteria (after t weeks) in lettuce has the follow
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

A sinusoidal model would be used

The kind of function that have consistency in the periodic rate of change is the Average rate of changes

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of model that would be used is sinusoidal model and this is because there is periodic change in the values given ( i.e the rate of changes given )

For percentage rate of changes :

starting from 0.9% there is an increase to 1.3% then a decrease to 1.1% and a further decrease to 1% before an increase to 1.3% and another decrease to 1%

For Average rate of changes:

starting from 2.9 there is a decrease to 2.4, then an increase to 3.7 and another decrease to 3.1 followed by an increase to 3.6 and a decrease back to 3.2

This relation ( sinusoidal model ) is best suited for a linear model because there is a periodic rate of change in the functions

The kind of function that have consistency in the period rate of change is the Average rate of changes

If 2x² – 2y = 125 and x - y = 2.5, find the value of<br> x + y
uysha [10]

We can solve this using substitution.

because x-y=2.5

x=y+2.5

Now substitute x into other equation.

2(y+2.5)^2-2y=125

2y^2+10y+12.5-2y=125

2y^2+8y-112.5=0

Now comes the ugly part

y=-4+-sqrt(16+900)

y=-4+-sqrt916

y=-4+-2sqrt229

x=-1.5+-2sqrt229
