The populations of termites and spiders in a certain house are growing exponentially. The house contains 120 termites the day yo

zysi [14]

Answer:

in order to triple the inicial population of spiders, will take 50395 days

Step-by-step explanation:

we can define the termite population function as T(t) and the one for spiders as S(t) , where t represents time measured in days

since both have and exponencial growth

T(t)= a*e^(b*t)

S(t)= c*e^(d*t)

1) when the day the person moves in , t=0 and T(0)= 120 termites

T(0) = a*e^(b*0) = a = 120

2) after 4 days , t=4 and the house contains T(4) = 210 termites

T(4)= 120*e^(b*4) = 210 → 4*b = ln (210/120) → b = (1/4)* ln(210/120)= 0.14

therefore

T(t) = 120*e^(0.14*t)

3) 3 days after moving in , t=3, there were T(3) = 120*e^(0.14*3)=182.63≈ 182 termites . The number of spiders is half of the number of termites → S(3) = T(3) * 1 spider/ 2 termites =91.31 spiders ≈ 91 spiders

4) after 8 days of moving in , t=8, there were T(8) = 120*e^(0.14*8)=367.78≈ 368 termites . The number of spiders is 0.25 times the number of termites → S(8) = T(8) * 1 spider/ 4 termites =91.94 spiders ≈ 92 spiders

from

S(t)= c*e^(d*t) → d = ln [S (tb)/S (ta) ] / (tb-ta)

therefore d = ln [ S(8)/S(3) ] / (8 - 3 ) = 2.18*10^-5

in order to triple the initial population

S(t3) = 3 *S(0) = 3*[c*e^(d*0)] = 3*c

S(t3) = c*e^(d*t3) = 3* c → t3 = ln(3) / d = 50395 days

Jason wants to cut a rope that is 60 feet long into several equal pieces with nothing left over. How many pieces will he have if

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2 pieces, 30ft each

Step-by-step explanation:

rope : 60ft long

we are trying to figure out how many equal pieces we can cut the rope into with the length of each piece to be the greatest possible integer:

if jason wants the length of rope to be the longest than the answer is 2, if he divides the length of 60 by 2, each piece will be 30 feet long. If he divides the rope by any number larger, each piece will be shorter than 30 feet, and he wants the piece to be the largest possible length.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

18. y-(-2) = -6(x-2)

y+2 = -6x+12

y = -6x+12-2

y = -6x+10

19. y-(-4) = -½(x-4)

y+4 = -½x+2

y = -½x+2-4

y = -½x-2

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $336. This is a 36% discount from the original price.

8090 [49]

Answer:

$525

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price by using the formula x - 0.36x = 336, where x is the original price, 0.36 is the discount percentage (converted to decimal form), and 336 is the total amount paid after the discount is applied:

$x-0.36x=336\\0.64x=336\\x=525$

To check and further understand why the formula works, we can simply apply the discount to the original price and subtract the number from the original price:

525 * 0.36 = 189

525 - 189 = 336

Modeling the first formula gives us:

525 - (0.36 * 525) = 336

525 - 189 = 336
