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

wariber [46]
The slope will be -3/4
To find slope you just place the change in y over the change in x.
2- -1=3
0-4= -4
The slope is -3/4 which is the same as before

What is the sum of StartRoot negative 2 EndRoot and StartRoot negative 18 EndRoot?
Darya [45]

Answer:

4 \sqrt{2} i

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the sum of

\sqrt{ - 2}  +  \sqrt{ - 18}

We can rewrite this as

\sqrt{ 2 \times  - 1}  +  \sqrt{ 18 \times  - 1}

This becomes;

\sqrt{2}  \times  \sqrt{ - 1}  +  \sqrt{18}  \times  \sqrt{ - 1}

Recall that;

i =  \sqrt{ - 1}

This implies that;

\sqrt{2} i + 3 \sqrt{2} i

Combine like terms:

4 \sqrt{2} i
