Tony wants to estimate the number of bees in a beehive. He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye. He then

lets the bees go. The next day, tony catches 60 bees from the hive. 15 of these bees have been marked with dye. A) using this information what is a good estimate for the number of bees in the beehive.

Answer:

Number of total bees = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye.

He later catches 60 and 15 were marked with the dye.

Its very to estimate from the data given.

I'll answer it with ratio.

We'll ratio number of bees with dye to total he caught the second day.

I.e 15:60 = 1:4

We'll multiply this ratio with the number he caught the first day to know the total.

1/4x =100

X = 100*4

X= 400

Where x is the total number of bees in the bee hive.

Complete the recursive formula of the geometric sequence -0.56\,,-5.6\,,-56\,,-560,...−0.56,−5.6,−56,−560,...Minus, 0, point, 56
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The recursive formula is:

Cn = 10C(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence.

-0.56, -5.6, -56, -560, ...

The common ratio is

-5.6/-0.56 = -56/-5.6 = -560/-56 = ... = 10

The recursive formula is easily

Cn = C(n-1) × 10

That is a number is ten times the preceding number.

if the cost price of 10 tables is equal to the selling price of 16 tables , find out the gain or loss percentage​
Dovator [93]

Hi,

To solve this problem, Let us take the LCM of 10 and 16 which will come 80.

Now suppose the cost price of 10 tables =₹n CP of 80 tables will be ₹ 8n

According to the question, CP of 10 tables is equal to the SP of 16 tables, then

the SP of 16 tables will also be ₹ n.

So, SP of 80 tables will be ₹ 5n

So, Loss = CP-SP

→ 8n - 5n = ₹ 3n

Loss%= (3n×100)/8n

Loss%= 37.5%.

Hence the correct answer will be a <u>loss of 37.5%.</u>

Joel is designing a ramp for a bike trick. He draws this diagram. What is the value of x?
inn [45]

Answer:

x = -1

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

x² + (2x + 2)² = (2x + 3)²

Since these are quantities, you'll have to make them into quadratic equations.

(2x + 2)(2x + 2) = 4x² + 4x + 4x + 4

(2x + 3)(2x + 3) = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9

x² + 4x² + 4x + 4x + 4 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9

Combine like terms

5x² + 8x + 4 = 4x² + 12x + 9

Move one side to set the equation equal to 0

x² - 4x - 5 = 0

Solve

x² - 5x + x - 5 = 0

x(x - 5) + 1(x - 5) = 0

(x + 1)(x - 5) = 0

x = -1, 5

<em>We</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>check</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>these</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>correct</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>plugging</em><em> </em><em>them</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>seeing</em><em> </em><em>if</em><em> </em><em>they</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>equal</em>

<em>For</em><em> </em><em>example</em>

<em>(</em><em>-1</em><em>)</em><em>²</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>-1</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em>²</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>-1</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>)</em><em>²</em>

<em>1</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em>
