Frogs – A species of frog’s population grows 24% every year. Suppose 100 frogs are released into a pond. (For some answers, you

should round to whole frogs.)
Construct an exponential model for this population.

How many frogs will there be in 5 years?

How many frogs will there be in 10 years?

About when will there be 1000 frogs? (Round to a whole year.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^ t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 100

r = 24% = 24/100 = 0.24,

The exponential model for this population becomes

A = 100(1 + 0.24)^t

A = 100(1.24)^t

1) When t = 5 years,

A = 100(1.24)^5

A = 293

2) When t = 10 years,

A = 100(1.24)^10

A = 859

3) When A =1000

1000 = 100(1.24)^t

1000/100 = (1.24)^t

10 = (1.24)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10, it becomes

Log 10 = log 1.24^t

1 = t log 1.24

1 = 0.093t

t = 1/0.093

t = 11 years to the nearest whole year.

Answer:

293; 869; 11 years

Step-by-step explanation:

N: no. of frogs

t: no. of years

N = 100(1.24^t)

N = 100(1.24⁵)

= 293

N = 100(1.24¹⁰)

= 859

1000 = 100(1.24^t)

10 = 1.24^t

lg10 = t×lg1.24

t = 1/lg1.24

t = 10.7 = 11 years

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is four times the length of one of the legs. The length of the other leg is 1500⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯√ fee
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is just playing with the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 with a and b as legs and c as the hypotenuse.

Let's say a is equal to 1500 so then c is 4 times b

1500^2 + b^2 = (4b)^2  Now we just treat this like a normal algebraic expression

2,250,000 = 16b^2 - b^2

2,250,000 = 15b^2

150,000 = b^2

sqrt(150,000) = b

100sqrt(15) = b

You can check this now.

1500^2 + sqrt(150,000)^2 = c^2

sqrt(2,250,000 + 150,000) = c

sqrt(2,400,000) = c

400sqrt(15) = c Which fits the requirement of c = 4b

Please help me!!!<br>What is the value of n?<br>2n = 8 + 4n<br>A)-4<br>B) 4<br>C)-4/3<br>D)4/3
erica [24]
To get the value of n u have to set n by itself, first we have to set teh smallest n to teh other side this will give you 0=8+2n now subtract the 8 from both sides because it is positive and the only way to get rid of a positive is with a negative this will give you -8=2n, now to set n by itself divide by 2 in both sides because in order to get rid of a multiplication you have to divide, this will give you n=-4, so your answer will be letter A

Hope this helps
