Please help me find what “a” is!!!

Mathematics

Len [333]2 years ago

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem which states

a² + b² = c²

then plug in your given terms

a² + 5.6² = 10.6²

find the squares

a² + 31.36 = 112.36

subtract 31.36 from 112.36 to find your a²

a² = 81

then find the square root of 81, which is 9 becuase 9 x 9 is 81

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

c) p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114

And if we replace t=10 we got:

p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404

d) 0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And then:

0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)

0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1

ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}

t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and the population increases according to the logistic curve p(t) = 10000 / 1 + 19e^-t/5 where t is measured in months. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) What is the limiting size of the fish population? (c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months? (d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?"

Solution to the problem

We have the following function

P(t)=\frac{10000}{1 +19e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}

(a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function.

If we use desmos we got the figure attached.

(b) What is the limiting size of the fish population?

For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

(c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months?

For this case we need to calculate the derivate of the function. And we need to use the derivate of a quotient and we got this:

p'(t) = \frac{0 - 10000 *(-\frac{19}{5}) e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we simplify we got this:

p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we simplify we got:

p'(t) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114

And if we replace t=10 we got:

p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404

(d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?

For this case we need to find the second derivate, set equal to 0 and then solve for t. The second derivate is given by:

p''(t) = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And if we set equal to 0 we got:

0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And then:

0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)

0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1

ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}

t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722

jeka57 [31]
X : the gas used by first car in 1 particular week
y : the gas used by second car in 1 particular week
x + y = 60 \\ x = 60 - y
30x + 35y = 1975 \\ 30 \times (60 - y) + 35y = 1975 \\ ... \\ y = 35 \\ x = 60 - y = 60 - 35 = 25

Stells [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The total number of dollars in fives and tens" tells you that these denominations are being added together.  Because a five dollar bill is worth $5 and a ten dollar bill is worth $10, then the number of $5 bills is represented by 5f and a the number of $10 bills is represented by 10t.  Therefore,

T = 5f + 10t
