(a) Derive an equation of the line passing through the points A(0, 545) and B(4, 726). (Let t be the independent variable and y

be the dependent variable.)

Answer:

The equation of the line is y=45.25t+545

Step-by-step explanation:

The general for of a line is:

y=mt+n       (1)

where:

m is the slope of the line and m is the intercept with the axis of the dependent variable, y in this case.

In order to obtain the value of the slope (m) we can use the corresponding slope formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{t_2-t_1}         (2)

where t_1, t_2, y_1 and y_2 are the corresponding coordinates of the given points. In this case:

t_1=0\\t_2=4\\y_1=545\\y_2=726\\

Substituting these values in equation (2) we obtain:

m=\frac{726-545}{4-0}=\frac{181}{4}=45.25\\m=45.25

Hence, the line equation is now:

y=45.25t+n     (3)

Now to obtain the value of n you can follow two options:

  1. You can substitute one of your points, A or B, in equation (3). In this way, you will obtain an equation where the variable is n

Note that for this question, it is easier to select point A because of having the independent variable equals to zero t=0. Hence, substituting point A in equation (3):

45.25*0+n=545\\n=545

Therefore, the line equation is: y=45.25t+545

The second option to find n is to think of the meaning of the <em>intercept</em>. The <em>intercept </em>of a line is defined as the point in which the line crosses the axis of the dependent variable, which also means that the value of the independent variable for this point is zero. From this, we could have automatically said that n is equal to 545.

See the attachment for a plot of the line.

An experimental population of fruit flies increases according to the law of exponential growth. There were 60 flies after the 2n
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

There were 10 flies originally

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;

V = I(1+r)^d

where V is the number of flies on a particular day

I is the initial number of flies

r is the constant increase in percentage

and d is the number of days.

So we have for the second day;

60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)

For the fourth day, we have;

360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)

divide equation ii by i; we have;

360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2

6 = (1+r)^2

(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2

1 + r = √6

r = √6 - 1

So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies

Let’s use equation 1

60 = I(1 + r)^2

60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2

60 = I(√6)^2

60 = 6I

I = 60/6

I = 10 flies

Solve for x<br> 30x=(60)(ЧО)
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

30x = (60)(40)

30x = 240                 Multiply 60 and 40

x = 8                          Divide 30 from both sides
