There are 20 goldfish in a pond. Their population is increasing by 20% each year. The same pond has 100 minnows. The minnow popu

lation is increasing by 10 minnows each year. Make a graph to find the year that the two species of fish will have the same population. In what year will the fish populations be approximately the same?

Answer:

13.5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that exponential growth function is in form y=a\cdot(1+r)^x, where, a is initial value and r is growth rate in decimal form.

Population of goldfish after x years would be y=20\cdot(1+0.20)^x.

We know that a linear function is in form y=mx+b, where, b is initial value and m is slope.

Population of minnow after x years would be y=100+10x.

Graphing both equations, we will get our required graph as shown in the attachment.

Since both graphs intersect at x=13.5, therefore, in the 13.5 years both populations will approximate the same.

The graph is attached, showing the intersection point at 13.5 years and populations of 235.2 for each population.

We only consider the portion of the graph from x=0 on, since negative time is illogical.  Tracing the graph we get the intersection point.

Factor 20r+60t to identify the equivalent expression
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

\boxed{20(r + 3t)}

Step-by-step explanation:

20r + 60t

Factor out 20 from the expression.

20(r) + 20(3t)

Take 20 as common.

20(r + 3t)

Jackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour. How fast is this in feet per second? (Round to the nearest w
Sonja [21]
To solve this problem, we are going to use a scientific/mathematics strategy called Dimensional Analysis.

40 miles / 1 hour * 5280 feet / 1 mile = 211200 feet / 1 hour

211200 feet / 1 hour * 1 hour / 60 minutes = 3520 feet/ 1 minute

3520 feet / 1 minute * 1 minute / 60 seconds = approximately 59 feet / 1 second


Jackrabbits travel approximately 59 feet per second, when rounded to the nearest whole number.
