32 divided by 8 equals 4.
Answer:
option A
x=15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
refer to the above attachment
sorry for the messy writing:^
4(2x-7)=8x-28
4(-4x+18)=-16x+72
(8x-28)-(-16x+73)
24x+45
Answer:
The estimated Rabbit population by the year 2036 is 32,309 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are expected to use the exponential decay function to estimate population of rabbits in a certain year.
An exponential decay function refers to an equation that estimates the value of a parameter(dependent parameter) at a certain value of the independent parameter given that the independent parameter decreases at a certain constant rate.
Firstly, what we need to do is to write the decay function. To do this, we shall be representing the population by variable P, the rate by r , the number of years by t and the initial population by I
Mathematically, we have the decay function as;
P = I(1-r)^t
From the question, we identify these values as;
P = 144,000 : r = 7.2% = 7.2/100 = 0.072, I = 144,00 and t = 2036-2016 = 20 years
Let's plug these values;
P = 144,000(1-0.072)^20
P = 144,000(0.928)^20
P= 32,309
Answer:
a) look at the figure
b) i) x = 2.5 , y = 3
ii) x-intercept is 2.333
iii) y-intercept is 2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The points of the graph f(x) = 3+1/2x - 5 are:
f(-5) = 2.9333
f(-4) = 2.923
f(-3) = 2.909
f(-2) = 2.888
f(-1) = 2.857
f(0) = 2.8
f(1) = 2.666
f(2) = 2
f(3) = 4
f(4) = 3.333
f(5) = 3.2
b)
i) to find the vertical asymptotic put the denominator = 0
2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5
∴ The equation of the vertical asymptotic is x = 2.5
To find the horizontal asymptotic look at the degree of the numerator and denominator
∵ they are equal f(x) = (6x -14)/(2x - 5) ⇒ 6x ÷ 2x = 3
∴ The equation of the horizontal asymptotic is y = 3
ii) the value of x-intercept means put f(x) = 0
∴3 + 1/2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 1/2x - 5 = -3 ⇒ -6x + 15 = 1 ⇒ 6x = 14
x = 14/6 = 2.333
iii) The value of y-intercept means x = 0
∴ f(x) = 3 + 1/0 - 5 = 3 + (-0.2) = 2.8
