Given that the number of years should be represented with x, the number of fish in the pond after x years should best be represented with f(x). The equation that would best show the given scenario in the problem above is,
f(x) = 500(2^x)
From the given, 500 is used as the initial population of the fish.
If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those. Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span>
<span>
<span>
66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet
Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.
I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.
When we take data at work, we always do it over a period of time. To me, just one sample set does not show enough data to come to that conclusion. Also it is one batch of bags. I think you would need to have an average of data from different batches & samples to prove your data is accurate and support your claim.
Jack: 2R/3
Jill: 3 • 20 + 0.5 • 250 = 185
Ron: R/3 + 125
hope that helps
The answer to the question is b
