The population of rabbits on an island is growing exponentially. In the year 1991, the population of rabbits was 9100, and by 19

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

$39,223\ rabbits$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

$y=a(1+r)^x$

where

y is the population of rabbits

x is the number of years since 1991

a is the initial value

r is the rate of change

we have

$a=9,100$

substitute

$y=9,100(1+r)^x$

For the year 1998

the number of years is equal to

x=1998-1991=7 years

we have the ordered pair (7,18,000)

substitute in the exponential equation and solve for r

$18,000=9,100(1+r)^7$

$(18,000/9,100)=(1+r)^7$

elevated both sides to 1/7

$(1+r)=1.1023$

$r=0.1023$

therefore

$y=9,100(1+0.1023)^x$

$y=9,100(1.1023)^x$

Predict the population of rabbits in the year 2006

Find the value of x

x=2006-1991=15 years

substitute the value of x in the equation

$y=9,100(1.1023)^{15}$

$y=39,223\ rabbits$

Algebra I

Coordinates (x, y)
Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (2, 5)

Point (-3, 7)

Step 2: Identify

x₁ = 2, y₁ = 5

x₂ = -3, y₂ = 7

Step 3: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{7-5}{-3-2}$
[Slope] [Fraction] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{2}{-5}$
[Slope] [Fraction] Rewrite: $\displaystyle m=\frac{-2}{5}$

Describe the likelihood of an event as impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely or certain. 21) There is a 0% chance of pick

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

21) There is a 0% chance of picking a 13 in a deck of cards. Impossible.

If there is a 0% chance that something will happen then it is impossible.

22) There is a 50% chance of picking a red card in a deck of cards. Equally likely.

If there is a 50% chance that something will happen, it is equally likely that it will happen.

23) There is an 80% chance of snow tomorrow. Likely or certain.

If there is an 80% chance of something happening, it means that the chances of that thing happening good and the event is likely to occur.

24) There is a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. Unlikely.

A low chance of 20% means that something is unlikely to occur.

4 Which of the following is a composite number between 80 ard 100?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer: 90

90 is a composite number because:

4 x 15 = 90

10 x 9 = 90

A composite number has more than two factors.

Hope this helps!
