Answer:

Part A) 15\ snakes

Part B) 6\ lizards

Part C) The zoo would need to get four more lizards to maintain the same proportion

Part D) 12 snakes and 8 lizards

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) If there were 10 lizards ,how many snakes would be there be?

Let

x ---> the number of snakes

y ---> the number of lizards

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{2} ----> equation A

we have that

y=10\ lizards

substitute the value of y in the equation A

\frac{x}{10}=\frac{3}{2}

solve for x

x=10(3)/2\\x=15\ snakes

Part B) If there were 9 snakes ,how many lizards would there be?

Let

x ---> the number of snakes

y ---> the number of lizards

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{2} ----> equation A

we have that

x=9\ snakes

substitute the value of x in the equation A

\frac{9}{y}=\frac{3}{2}

solve for y

y=9(2)/3\\y=6\ lizards

Part C) If the number of snakes in the zoo is increased by 6, how many more lizards would the zoo need to get to keep the same ratio?

Let

x ---> the number of snakes

y ---> the number of lizards

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{2} ----> equation A

For x=6\ snakes

substitute the value of x in the equation A

\frac{6}{y}=\frac{3}{2}

solve for y

y=6(2)/3\\y=4\ lizards

therefore

The zoo would need to get four more lizards to maintain the same proportion

Part D) If the total number of snakes and lizards at the zoo was 20, how many snakes and lizards would there be?

Let

x ---> the number of snakes

y ---> the number of lizards

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{2}

isolate the variable x

x=1.5y ----> equation A

x+y=20 ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

1.5y+y=20

solve for y

2.5y=20

y=8\ lizards

Find the value of x

x=1.5(8)=12\ snakes

therefore

12 snakes and 8 lizards

If log(x + y) = log 3 + ½log x + ½log y, prove that x² + y² = 7xy​
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

log(x + y) = log3 +  \frac{1}{2} logx+  \frac{1}{2} logy \\  \\ log(x + y) = log3 +    logx ^{\frac{1}{2}} +   logy ^{\frac{1}{2}}\\  \\  log(x + y) = log3 +    log(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\  \\ log(x + y) =  log[3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}}] \\  \\ x + y = 3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\  \\ squaring \: both \: sides \\  {(x + y)}^{2}  =  \bigg(3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \bigg)^{2}  \\  \\  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  + 2xy = 9xy \\  \\  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 9xy - 2xy \\  \\   \purple{ \bold{{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 7xy}} \\ thus \: proved

Given the following table, determine the missing value.
sergeinik [125]
We know that
Based on the table
Percent%=[1-Decay factor]*100%
so

for decay factor=0.98
Percent%=[1-0.98]*100%----> 2%

for decay factor=0.50
Percent%=[1-0.50]*100%---->50 %

for decay factor=0.64
Percent%=[1-0.64]*100%----> 36%

for decay factor=0.23
Percent%=[1-0.23]*100%----> 77%

therefore

the answer is
36%

What is the solution of the following equation? 2x-5+3x=35
harina [27]

<em>2x - 5 + 3x = 35 </em>

<em>simplify </em>

<em>5x - 5 = 35 </em>

<em>add 5 to both sides </em>

<em>5x - 5 + 5 = 35 + 5 </em>

<em>simplify </em>

<em>5x = 40 </em>

<em>divide both sides by 5 </em>

<em>5x/5 = 40/5 </em>

<em>simplify </em>

<em>x = 8 </em>

<em> </em>

natka813 [3]

The correct option is fourth option

Explanations:

From the data, re-arranging in ascending order, the median of the data is 58.

The upper quartile is 62, while the lower quartile is 54

From the options, only the 4th options represent a box plot of median 58, upper quartile of 62 and lower quartile of 54. This makes it the correct option
