A biologist took a count of the number of fish in a particular lake, and recounted the lake’s population of fish on each of the

next six weeks.
Find a quadratic function that models the data as a function of x, the number of weeks. Use the model to estimate the number of fish at the lake on week 8.


P(x) = 13x^2 – 10x + 350; 917 fish
P(x) = 13x^2 – 10x + 350; 1,102 fish
P(x) = 18x^2 + 10x + 300; 1,252 fish
P(x) = 18x^2 + 10x + 300; 1,532 fish

The two equations for which the given number of fist is satisfied when x = 8 is plugged in are:
<span>P(x) = 13x^2 – 10x + 350
and
</span><span>P(x) = 18x^2 + 10x + 300

Now, we can only decide which is correct if we have additional information, specifically if we know the number of fish initially. If it is 350, option B is correct and if it is 300 then option D is correct.</span>

A ski rental store rents a pair of skis for $44 a day and a snowboard for $58 a day. Yesterday, the store made $2,232 on ski and
Katen [24]

First, let the number of skis rented by x and the number of snowboards rented by y. We can then assemble the first equation from the amount of money made from the rentals.


44x + 58y = 2232


The second equation can come from the fact that 9 more skis were rented than snowboards.


y = x - 9


Therefore our system is:


44x + 58y = 2232

y = x - 9

the volumes of two spheres are 729 in3 and 27 in3. what is the ratio of their radii, rounded to the nearest whole number?
MaRussiya [10]
The volumes of spheres are proportional to R³. So their 'R's
are proportional to ∛their volumes.

(729/ 27) = 27

∛27 = <u>exactly 3</u> .  No rounding required.

How many solutions do you think the equation -10x+3=5x-27 has? Explain. Then, find the solution(s).
deff fn [24]
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).

A ball is thrown in the air from a ledge. Its height in feet is represented by 
Genrish500 [490]

check the picture below.

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-16(x^2-6x-7)\implies 0=x^2-6x-7 \\\\\\ 0=(x-7)(x+1)\implies x= \begin{cases} \boxed{7}\\ -1 \end{cases}

it cannot be -1, because is a seconds amount after moving.
