Two of the most dangerous animals in the enchanted forest are snakes and bears. The population of bears began with 100 bears in

the year 2000 and increases at a rate of 4 bears per year. The population of snakes began at 1 snake in the year 2000 and doubles every year.
Do you think the population of snakes will ever catch up to the population of bears? Why or why not?
If you answered yes, how many years do you think it would take for snakes to outnumber bears?

Answer:

Yes

IT WILL TAKE 8 YEARS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bear starting population = 100

Bear population rate = 4 per year

Snake starting population = 1

Snake population rate = doubles every year

Bear population model:

y = 4x+100

Where y = new bear population

x = number of years after year 2000

Snake population model :

y = 2^x

Where y = new snake population

x = number of years after year 2000

THE POPULATION OF SNAKES WILL CATCH UP WITH THAT OF BEARS BECAUSE AFTER 7 YEARS THE POPULATION WILL BE EVEN.

After 7 years :

Bear population :

y = 4x + 100

y = 4(7) + 100 = 128

y = 128

Snake population :

y = 2^x

y = 2^7

y = 128

Using random guess in the both models :

After 8 years :

Bear population :

y = 4x + 100

y = 4(8) + 100 = 132

y = 132

Snake population :

y = 2^x

y = 2^8

y = 256

A college parking lot is 140 ft long and 90 ft wide. The college wants to increase the area of the lot by 29% by adding strips o
Novay_Z [31]
The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:

length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft

initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2

Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2

width of the strips: x

New length: 140 + x

New width: 90 + x

New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254

Solution of the equation:

12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254

=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0

Use the quadratic formula.

x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =

x = 14.92

The other solution is negative so it is discarded.

Answer: 15 ft

Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94. The average of her last t
Bingel [31]

Answer:  The average of the first two test scores is 97.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94 and the average of her last three test scores is 92.

We are to find the average score of her first two tests.

Let a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 be teh scores of Kristle in first , second, third, fourth and fifth tests respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

\dfrac{a1+a2+a3+a4+a5}{5}=94\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=94\times5\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=470~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

\dfrac{a3+a4+a5}{3}=92\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=92\times3\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=276~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get

(a1+a2+a3+a4+a5)-(a3+a4+a5)=470-276\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2=194\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=\dfrac{194}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=97.

Thus, the average of the first two test scores is 97.
