Problem 2.2 (20 points)Black and yellow pigment cells (melanophores and xanthophores) are responsible for patterns onthe skin of

Zebra Fish. We denote the number of melanophores at timetbyM(t) and the numberof xanthophores at timetbyX(t). Suppose that 10% of melanophores become (differentiate into)xanthophores per unit time. Conversely, 40% of xanthophores become melanophores per unit time,and 10% of xanthophores die per unit time. Finally, 10 melanophores and 20 xanthophores areborn per unit time.1. DefineP(t)

Your question is not complete as you have not provided some details.

Please let me assume this to complete your question;

P(t) = M(t) ÷ X(t)

ANSWER:

P(t) is the ratio of the number of melanophores to the number of xanthophores per unit time.

Therefore P(t) = 1.55

Step-by-step explanation:

KEY NOTE:

I) 10% of melanophore converts to Xanthophore per unit time.

II) 40% of Xanthophore converts to melanophore per unit time.

III) 10 melanophore and 20 Xanthophore are born per unit time

IV) 10% of Xanthophore die per unit time.

STEP 1: Conversion rate to number of birth per unit time.

For M(t) 10% of 10 = 1

For X(t) 40% of 20 = 8

Therefore;

M(t) = 10 + 8 - 1 = 17

X(t) = 20 + 1 - 8 = 13

STEP 2:

10% of Xanthophore die per unit time.

10% of 20 = 2

Therefore X(t) is;

13 - 2 = 11

The total X(t) = 11

The total M(t) = 17

P(t) = M(t)/X(t) = 17÷ 11 = 1.55

Find the length of side AB in the right triangle shown.
Bogdan [553]
Side AB is 72 cm long.



Explanation:

To find the length of side AB you have to use this formula:

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

*Remember there are two legs (a and b) and a hypotenuse (c) on a triangle. The longest side will be the hypotenuse and the other two will be the legs. For this triangle the hypotenuse is side BC while the legs are sides CA and side AB.

Plug in the numbers into the equation.


{65}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {97}^{2}
For this triangle, you were given the hypotenuse (c) and one leg (a). To find the last length solve the equation and balance it so only b is left, like this:

4225 +  {b}^{2}  = 9409

9409 - 4225 = 5184

Soo...

{b}^{2}  = 5184

Then to get the side length, square root 5184.

\sqrt{5184}  = 72

So the length of the last side is 72 cm.

A sample was taken of the salaries of four employees from a large company. the following are their salaries, in thousands of dol
Free_Kalibri [48]

For given sample of salaries of four employees, the variance of their salaries is: 26 thousands of dollars

The formula for the variance is,

S^2=\frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n-1}

where,

S^2 = sample variance

x_i = the value of the one observation

\bar{x} = the mean value of all observations

n = the number of observations

For given question,

n = 4

First we find the mean of their salaries.

(33 + 31 + 24 + 36 ) / 4 = 31

So, \bar{x}=31

Using the formula for variance ,

S^2=\frac{(33-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(31-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(24-31)^2}{4-1}+\frac{(36-31)^2}{4-1}\\\\ S^2=\frac{4}{3}  + \frac{0}{3} + \frac{49}{3} + \frac{25}{3} \\\\S^2= \frac{4+49+25}{3}\\\\S^2=\frac{78}{3}  \\\\S^2=26

Therefore, for given sample of salaries of four employees, the variance of their salaries is: 26 thousands of dollars

Graph B
lara [203]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = rise/run

y-intercept (b) = starting value or the point on the y-axis where the line cuts across

✔️Slope (m) of skater 1:

Rise = 45

Run = 7.5

Slope (m) = 45/7.5 = 6

✔️ y-intercept (b) of Skater 1:

b = 0 (the y-axis is intercepted at 0)

✔️Skater 1 linear function in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

Substitute m = 6 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

Linear function: y = 6x + 0

y = 6x

✔️Slope (m) of skater 2:

Rise = 30

Run = 15

Slope (m) = 30/15 = 2

✔️ y-intercept (b) of Skater 2:

b = 0 (the y-axis is intercepted at 0)

✔️Skater 2 linear function in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

Substitute m = 2 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

Linear function: y = 2x + 0

y = 2x
