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

What is the equation of the line that passes through (1, 2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 2x+y-1=0?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through (1, 2) is y = - 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y - 1 = 0

2x + y - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

2x + y = 1

2x - 2x + y = 1

y = - 2x + 1

parallel lines have the same slope, so the equation line will be -2

plug in the point, y = mx + b    (x, y)

y = (-2)x + b , (1, 2)

(2) = (-2)(1) + b

2 = -2 + b

2 + 2 = -2 + 2 + b

4 = b

y = - 2x + 4

Homework #16- Complete all odd questions.
katen-ka-za [31]

                                                      Question 1)

Given

The expression is 5xy

To determine

Find the value of 5xy if x = 2 and y = 3

5xy

substitute x = 2 and y = 3

5xy = 5(2)(3)

      = 5(6)

      = 30

Therefore, the value of 5xy = 30 if x = 2 and y = 3.

<em>Note: your remaining questions are not mentioned. But, the procedure may remain the same. Hopefully, your concept will be cleared anyway.</em>

A random sample of 16 one-kilogram sugar packets is obtained and the actual weights of the packets are measured. The sample mean
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are in posession of the sample's standard deviation, so we use the student's t-distribution to find the confidence interval.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 16 - 1 = 15

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 35 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.905([tex]t_{995}). So we have T = 2.9467

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.9467*0.058 = 0.171

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 1.053 - 0.171 = 0.882kg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 1.053 + 0.171 = 1.224 kg.

The 99% two-sided confidence interval for the average sugar packet weight is between 0.882 kg and 1.224 kg.
