Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to multiply both sides of the equation by -6/5

-6/5 × (-5/6x) = -6/5 × -10/3

Then you need to calculate and reduce. First, you'll reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor, 6.

1/5 × 5x = -6/5 × (-10/3)

then reduce the greatest common divisor, 5

x = -6/5 × (-10/3)

Then multiply (multiplying two negatives equals a positive)

x = 6/5 × 10/3

reduce the greatest common divisor, 3

x = 2/5 × 10

reduce the greatest common divisor, 6

x = 2 × 2

x = 4

(i know this is confusing, sorry)

The decreasing population, p, of owls in a national park is being monitored by ecologists and is modeled by the equation p=−0.

By solving a quadratic equation, it can be verified that

The owl population will disappear after 329.12 years

What is a quadratic equation?

At first it is important to know about equation

Equation shows the equality between two algebraic expressions by connecting the two algebraic expressions by an equal to sign.

A two degree equation is known as quadratic equation.

Here, a quadratic equation needs to be solved

The decreasing population, p, of owls in a national park is being monitored by ecologists and is modeled by the equation p= $-0. 4t^2+128t+1,200$

For population to disappear, p =0

$-0. 4t^2+128t+1,200 = 0\\0.4t^2 -128t - 1200 = 0\\4t^2 - 1280t - 12000 = 0\\4(t^2 - 320 t - 3000) = 0\\t^2 - 320t -3000 = 0\\t = \frac{-(-320)\pm \sqrt{(-320)^2 - 4 \times 1 \times (-3000)}}{2 \times 1}\\t = \frac{320 \pm 338.23}{2}\\t = \frac{320 + 338.23}{2} \ or \ t = \frac{320 - 338.23}{2}\\t = 329.115 \ or \ t = -9.115$

But t = -9.115 is not possible as time cannot be negative

So, the owl population will disappear after 329.12 years

Determine whether the function is linear (0,1) (-2,-1) (-4,1)

Brut [27]

Answer:

No, this is not a linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

If you graph each point, you will notice that none of the three points line up together in one line with a consitstant slope.

Yvonne wants to cover the back of her smartphone with a decorative pattern. If the phone's length is 1/2 foot and width is 1/6 f

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1/12 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pattern = LEngth * Width

Given the following

Length = 1/2 foot

Width = 1/6 foot

Area of the pattern = 1/2 * 1/6

Area of the pattern =1/12 square foot

Hence the area that the decorative pattern will cover will be 1/12 square foot
