<span>1) Number of fish in the pond: y
Number of years: x

</span>A pond had an initial population of 120 fish. Then when x=0, y=120. The graph must begin at point (x,y)=(0,120). Only the graph above at right and below at left begin in this point (0,120).

<span>The number of fish is exponentially decreasing by one-fourth each year. Then the first year the number of fish must decrease 120*(1/4)=120/4=30, and the number of fish after the first year must be:
</span>120-30=90=120(1-1/4)=120(4-1)/4=120(3/4). Then when x=1, y=90. The point is (x,y)=(1,90)
In the graph above at right when x=1, y is between 24 and 36. y=90 is not in this interval. then this graph is not the correct.
In the graph below at left when x=1, y is between 84 and 96. y=90 is in this inverval. Then this is the correct graph.

Answer: T<span>he graph of the solution set for this situation is the graph below at left.

2) The equation has the form:
y=y0(r)^x
Where y0 is the initial population and r is the rate of reduction. In this case:
y0=120 and
r=1-1/4=(4-1)/4→r=3/4
Then the equation modeled by the graph is:
y=120(3/4)^x

Answer: The equation modeled by the graph is that above at right:
y=120(3/4)^x</span>

Which situation is the best for the equation 3x=288
kupik [55]

Answer:

The situation best for the equation 3x=288 Is by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x to single out the variable

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 3x/3=288/3

=> x = 96

Got a calc 1 question,
belka [17]

v=\dfrac h{3x}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{3x\frac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}-3h\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}}{3x^2}

By the chain rule,

\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dx}\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}

We have

h(x)=4e^{2x-6}-x^2+5\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dx}=8e^{2x-6}-2x

and we're given that x changes at a constant rate of \frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=0.2 thousand people per minute, which means

\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{3x\left(8e^{2x-6}-2x\right)\left(0.2\frac{\text{thousand people}}{\rm min}\right)-3h\left(0.2\frac{\text{thousand people}}{\rm min}\right)}{3x^2}

At the moment x=4 thousand people are in the park, we have h(4)=4e^2-11, so we find

\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{12\left(8e^2-8\right)-3(4e^2-11)}{240}\dfrac{\text{thousand people}}{\rm min}=\dfrac{7(4e^2-3)}{80}\dfrac{\text{thousand people}}{\rm min}

or approximately 2.324 thousand people per minute.
