Answer ASAP! Forty rabbits are introduced onto a small uninhabited island. They have no predators, and food is plentiful on the

island. Thus, the population grows exponentially, increasing by 50% each year. In how many years will there be 200 rabbits on the island?

Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Forty rabbits , increasing by 50% each year

first year : 40+(40*50%)= 60 rabbits

second year: 60+(60*50%)=90

third year : 90+(90*50%)=135

fourth year: 135+(135*50%)= 202.5 ≅ 203 rabits

after 4 years

40(1+0.5)^4= 202.5 ( almost 200)

The image represents a rectangular patio that has a length equal to 4 feet more than the width. What is the perimeter of the pat
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

  4w+8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Since opposite sides are identical in length, it can be computed as double the sum of adjacent side lengths. Here, the lengths are in feet.

  P = 2(L+W)

  P = 2((w+4) +w)

  P = 4w +8

The perimeter of the patio is 4w+8 feet.

A slow pitch softball diamond is actually a square 60 ft on a side. how far is it from home to second ​base?
krek1111 [17]
For this case we have a square whose sides are known and equal to 60 ft.
 We want to find the diagonal of the square.
 For this, we use the Pythagorean theorem.
 We have then:
 d^2 = 60^2 + 60^2

d =  \sqrt{60^2 + 60^2}

 d =  \sqrt{3600 + 3600}

d = \sqrt{2*3600}

d = 60\sqrt{2}

 Answer:
 
from home to second ​base it is about:
 d = 60\sqrt{2} feet

Solving multi step equations
hichkok12 [17]

The no-brain way to do it is to

  1. subtract one side from both sides so you have <em>(something) = 0</em>.
  2. divide by the coefficient of the variable.
  3. add the opposite of the constant.

Of course, at some point, you need to simplify the equation so you have something like

... ax + b = 0 . . . . . . where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are some constants that may be positive or negative

17) Subtract the right side.

... 10(x +3) -(-9x -4) -(x -5 +3) = 0

... 10x + 30 +9x +4 -x +5 -3 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... x(10+9-1) +(30+4+5-3) = 0 . . . . . . . collect terms

... 18x +36 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplified

... x + 2 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 18, the coefficient of x

... x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

19) Add the opposite of the left side.

... 0 = -9(1 +7x) +12(x -12)

... 0 = -9 -63x +12x -144 . . . . . . eliminate parenthses

... 0 = -51x -153 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

... 0 = x +3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -51, the coefficient of x

... -3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

_____

If you examine the variable's coefficients you can make a choice of side to subtract that results in a positive coefficient of the variable.

This method puts variable and constant together until the end. The approach usually taught is to separate the variable terms and constant terms. (The number of steps required is the same either way.)

The reason this is "no brain" is that it always works and requires no judgment as to what you add or subtract from where. Applying a little judgment as described above can make it so you're mostly working with positive numbers, but the method works whether the numbers are positive or negative.

Use completing the square to solve the equation x2 - 10x = -8.
Kay [80]

Answer:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:

x^2 - 10x = -8

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8

x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33

Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8.  Here's the process for completing the square:

1.  Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:

    (1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25

2.  Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the      constant -8:    x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or     x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17

3.  Match this result to one of the given possible answers.  Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:

x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
