The fox population in a certain region has a continuous growth rate of 5% per year. It is estimated that the population in the y

ear 2000 was 10,100 foxes.
a) Find a function that models the population,P(t) , after (t) years since year 2000 (i.e. t= 0 for the year 2000).
b) Use your function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008.
c) Use your function to estimate the year when the fox population will reach over 18,400 foxes. Round t to the nearest whole year, then state the year.

Answer:

P(t) = A * (1 + r)^t ;

14,922 ;

Year 2013

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Continuous growth rate(r) = 5% = 0.05

Population in year 2000 = Initial population (A) = 10,100

Time(t) = period (years since year 2000)

A)

Find a function that models the population,P(t) , after (t) years since year 2000 (i.e. t= 0 for the year 2000).

P(t) = A * (1 + r)^t

Trying out our function for t = year 2000, t =0

P(0) = 10,100 * (1 + 0.05)^0

P(0) = 10,100 * 1.05^0 = 10,100

B.)

Use your function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008.

Year 2008, t = 8

P(8) = 10,100 * (1 + 0.05)^8

P(8) = 10,100 * 1. 05^8

P(8) = 10,100 * 1.4774554437890625

= 14922.29

= 14,922

c) Use your function to estimate the year when the fox population will reach over 18,400 foxes. Round t to the nearest whole year, then state the year.

P(t) = A * (1 + r)^t

18400 = 10,100 * (1.05)^t

18400/10100 = 1.05^t

1.8217821 = 1.05^t

1.05^t = 1.8217821

In(1.05^t) = ln(1.8217821)

0.0487901 * t = 0.5998151

t = 0.5998151 / 0.0487901

t = 12.293787

Therefore eit will take 13 years

2000 + 13 = 2013

I’ve been stuck on this question since beginning of my freshman year! Someone please explain how to do this please??!
dexar [7]

Hi!

There might be different variations into how anyone would approach this problem but this is by far an easy way for me.

In order to solve fractional relationships with a variable, a perfect way to solve them would be to cross multiply and make them equal to each other.

You see the part '3y+12', and when you criss cross over to the other side of the equation, you get three. Multiply that together.

When you see the part '6', when you glide diagonally, you find '4y'. Multiply this together as well. Make them equal to each other.

(<em>This is how you do cross multiplication.)</em>

You should get something like this:

3(3y+12)=6(4y)              Distribute the three on the left side and multiply. Do the same on the right.

9y+36=24y                    Now, you can combine like terms by subtracting 9y to the other side.

36=15y                           Isolate y and divide it by 15.

y=2.4

I was unclear of the answer, so I plugged in 2.4 into the original equation where the y variable was, and got the right answer, so 2.4 should be the correct one no matter how you got it.

I hope this helped!

Karen buys 2 packages of printer paper for $5.79 each, a box of pens for $9.25. a box of paperclips for $2.29, and a
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: I think its $37.84625 according to the working shown :)

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of paper= $5.79, hence 2 is 2 x 5.79= 11.58

pens= $9.25

paperclips= $2.29

calendar= $12.50

Total= 11.58+9.25+2.29+12.50= 35.62

6.25% sales tax on total purchase= 6.25/100 x 35.62= $2.22625

Adding the sales tax: 35.62+2.22625‬= $37.84625‬‬
