A population of flies grows according to the function p(x) = 2(4)x, where x is measured in weeks. A local spider has set up shop

and consumes flies according to the function s(x) = 2x + 5. What is the population of flies after two weeks with the introduced spider?

The functions are:

p(x)=2\cdot4^x and s(x)=2x+5.

After 2 weeks, under no risk of spiders, the population of the flies is calculated by the function as p(2)=2\cdot4^2=2\cdot16=32.

 
Similarly, we calculate s(2)=2(2)+5=4+5=9, which means that the spider consumes 9 flies in 2 weeks.

 
Thus, out of 32 flies, 9 are eaten by the spider, so there are 32-9=23 flies left.

Help me with this please
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

11/60

Step-by-step explanation:

sin x = opp/hyp

cos x = adj/hyp

tan x = opp/adj = (opp/hyp)/(adj/hyp)

tan x = (11/61)/(60/61)

tan x = 11/61 * 61/60

tan x = 11/60

A. The maximum profit is when : P` ( x ) = 0
P` ( x ) = ( - 0.15 x²+ 600 x - 140,500 ) `
P` ( x ) = - 0.3 x + 600
- 0.3 x + 600 = 0
0.3 x = 600
x = 600 : 0.3 = 2,000
Answer: 2000 units must be sold on a monthly basis to maximize the profit.
b.  P max = - 0.15 · 2000² + 600 · 2000 - 140,500 =
= - 600,000 + 1,200,000 - 140,500 = $459,500
Answer: The maximum profit is $459,500.
