Answer:

4250 = 8500 e^{50 k}

And we can divide both sides by 8500 and we got:

\frac{1}{2} = e^{50 k}

And we can solve for k using natural log

k = \frac{ln(\frac{1}{2})}{50}= -0.0138629

And we have the model give by:

P(t) = 8500 e^{-0.01386294361 t}

And if we replace t =97 we got:

P(t=97) = 8500 e^{-0.01386294361 *97}= 2215.240

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the proportional model given by:

\frac{dP}{dt}= kP

And we can rewrite the expression like this:

\frac{dP}{P} = k dt

If we integrate both sides we got:

ln P = kt +C

If we apply exponentials in both sides we got:

P = e^{kt +C}

And we can rewrite the expression like this:

P(t) = P_o e^{kt}

Where P represent the population and t the time in years since the starting value

For this case we have that P_o = 8500

And after t = 5*10 = 50 years the value is the half or 8500/2 = 4250

So we can use this condition and we have:

4250 = 8500 e^{50 k}

And we can divide both sides by 8500 and we got:

\frac{1}{2} = e^{50 k}

And we can solve for k using natural log

k = \frac{ln(\frac{1}{2})}{50}= -0.0138629

And we have the model given by:

P(t) = 8500 e^{-0.01386294361 t}

And if we replace t =97 we got:

P(t=97) = 8500 e^{-0.01386294361 *97}= 2215.240

On a fraction line 6 friends want to equally share 3 yards of yarn how much yarn does each friend get
densk [106]
0.5 because if you divide 3 and 6 yards it’s equal to 0.5yards. You divide the yard and the friends because they are sharing three yards. So, each friend gets 0.5 yard each.

37. The sum of first three terms in an arithmetic progression is 24 and the sum of their squares is 224. Find the first three te
Airida [17]

Answer:

12, 8, and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given

a + d + a + a - d = 24

3a = 24   ⇒  [ a = 8 ]  

and (a + d)² + a² + (a - d)² = 224

3a² + 2d² = 224

2d² = 224 - 192 = 32

d² = 16

[ d = ±4 ]

∴ The first three terms to A.P are

a + d = 8 + 4 = 12

a  -  = 8

a - d = 8 - 4 = 4

∴ Three terms are 12 , 8, and 4
