The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation
Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is
Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal:
Pa = Pb
1.3(1-0.038)^t = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
1.3(0.962)^t = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.
We can now solve for t:
(0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
(0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
9 + 1 is equal to 10. Therefore, the answer is 1.
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
288/6=48
it's bacically the same as perimeter and area
The function is y=2x
this means that the solutions will have the form (x, y)=(x,2x).
For example: (0,0),(1,2),(2,4),(3,6) are solutions.
The first answer choice satisfies the above conditions.
The second answer choice contains (2,2), and (2,6), both of which do not satisfy the (x,2x) condition, so it's not correct.
The third answer choice contains (4,2), which again does not satisfy (x,2x), so not the right answer.
