This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
To determine if the triangle is a right triangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem to test or see if the data agrees. We do as follows:
c² = a² + b²
10² = (5√3)² + 5²
100 = 75 + 25
100 = 100
Therefore, the triangle with the given measurements is a right triangle. The angle that would have a right angle is angle BAC. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
Answer:
0.485 lb
6.83 lb - 3.57 lb = 3.26 lb
3.26 lb - 0.35 lb = 2.91 lb
2.91 lb / 6 = 0.485 lb
The answer would be -21.6
