<u>Answer:</u>

There are 243 ducks in the preserve.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

In a wildlife preserve, 45 ducks are captured, tagged, and released.  

Later, 200 ducks are examined, and two of them are tagged.  

To Find:

To estimate how many ducks are in the preserve =?

Solution:

Now, we know that, out of 200 2 ducks are tagged, which means remaining 198 ducks are untagged.

Now, total ducks count = ducks with tags + ducks with out tag

Total ducks count = 45 + 198  

Total ducks count = 243

Hence, there are 243 ducks in total.

What is the solution set to log8(4x + 2) + 4 ≥ 5?
Oksanka [162]
Your answer is A

distribute the 8 to the 4x and 2 which gives you
=32x + 16 + 4 >_ 5
now you need to add the 16 and the 4
which leaves you with
=32x + 20 >_ 5
then subtract the 20 from both sides
then you have
=32x >_ -15
then divide 32 from both sides with gives you
x>_ -15/32 or x>_ -0.5

Fill in the table using this function rule.<br> y = 10x-3<br> X<br> -<br> 0
dexar [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>y</em> = 10(- 1) - 3 = <em>- 13</em>

<em>y</em> = 10(0) - 3 = <em>- 3 </em>

<em>y</em> = 10(1)  - 3 =<em> 7 </em>

<em>y</em> = 10(5) - 3 = <em>47</em>

The produce market is having a sale on grapes and oranges. A customer found the following two receipts in her cart as she was wa
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first receipt:

2 pounds of grapes + 4 pounds of oranges = 10.70 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

2g + 4o = 10.70

From the second receipt:

3 pounds of grapes + 2 pounds of oranges = 9.65 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

3g + 2o = 9.65

Putting those together into a system and solving using the elimination method:

2g + 4o = 10.7

3g + 2o = 9.65

I am going to eliminate the oranges first since it's easier to do that. I will multiply the second equation by -2 to get a new system:

2g + 4o = 10.7

-6g - 4o = -19.3

As you can see, the oranges are eliminated because 4o - 4o = 0o. That leaves us with only the grapes:

-4g = -8.6 so

g = 2.15

Grapes cost $2.15 per pound. Now sub that into either one of the original equations to solve for the cost per pound of oranges:

2(2.15) + 4o = 10.7 and

4.3 + 4o = 10.7 and

4o = 6.4 so

o = 1.60

Oranges cost $1.60 per pound. That is choice D from your list.

enyata [817]

Answer:

The amount that this CD will be worth at maturity would be $935.90. The right answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate How much will this CD be worth at maturity we would have to use and calculate the formula of future value as follows:

Future Value=Present value×(1+i/n)∧nt

Future Value=$810×(1+2.9%/4)∧(4×5)

Future Value=$935.90

The amount that this CD will be worth at maturity would be $935.90
