<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

B. Exponential

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that a exponential function is given by:

$f(x)=a(1\pm r)^x$

where a is the initial value of the function.

and r is the rate of increase or decrease.

if r decreases then we have the total change as: 1-r

and if r increases then we have the total change as: 1+r

Here r=10%=0.10

a= 500

Hence, we have:

the population function f(t) over the time t years is given by:

$f(t)=500(1-0.10)^t\\\\f(t)=500(0.90)^t$

Hence, the model that best fits the given situation is: Exponential.

Answer:

B. Exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual wolf population in each year is

w = 500 500(0.9) 500(0.9)² 500(0.9)³ …

n = 1 2 3 4 …

The model is w = 500(0.9)ⁿ⁻¹.

This is an exponential model, because the independent variable is in an exponent.

Coefficiants of (2x+y)^4

sattari [20]

By the binomial theorem,

$(2x+y)^4=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^4\binom 4k(2x)^{4-k}y^k=\sum_{k=0}^4\binom 4k2^{4-k}x^{4-k}y^k$

where

$\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

Then the coefficients of the $x^{4-k}y^k$ terms in the expansion are, in order from $k=0$ to $k=4$ ,

$\dbinom 402^{4-0}=1\cdot2^4=16$

$\dbinom412^{4-1}=4\cdot2^3=32$

$\dbinom422^{4-2}=6\cdot2^2=24$

$\dbinom432^{4-3}=4\cdot2^1=8$

$\dbinom442^{4-4}=1\cdot2^0=1$

The double number line shows that Toni can type 180 words in 2 minutes.

NeTakaya

Answer:

270 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given 180 words in 2 minutes, this means Toni can type 180/2 = 90 words per minute (90wpm).

Thus, in the same ratio/rate, Toni would be able to type:

90 * 3 = 270 words per minute.

Correct answer 270 wpm

A study of peach trees found that the average number of peaches per tree was 725. The standard deviation of the population is 70

TEA [102]

Answer:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree.

This means that $\sigma = 70$

How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree?

She needs to sample n trees.

n is found when M = 10. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$10 = 1.96\frac{70}{\sqrt{n}}$

$10\sqrt{n} = 1.96*70$

Dividing both sides by 10:

$\sqrt{n} = 1.96*7$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*7)^2$

$n = 188.2$

Rounding up:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

Write an informal proof to show triangles ABC and DEF are similar. Please don’t answer if you don’t know!!

Mila [183]

Answer:

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given triangles ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar,

Their corresponding sides will be proportional.

$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{DF}}$

By substituting the measures of the given sides,

$\frac{4}{2}=\frac{6}{3}=\frac{2}{1}$

2 = 2 = 2

Since, corresponding sides of both the triangles are proportional, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF
