R(c) = Ralph's current age
R(c)= 3x [given]
Answer:
R(c)=2x + 4
The 2 represents how much older Ralph is than Sarah, then the plus 4 equals the amount of years that has gone by since Sarah's original age.

Answer:

Sara present is 4 years and Ralph present age is 3x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, x represents Sarah's present age  then

According to question

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara.

that is present age of Ralph = 3x

After 4 years age of Sara will be x + 4

and age of Ralph will be 3x + 4.

According to question,

In 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then.

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2( x + 4)

Solving for x, we get,

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2 x + 8

⇒ 3x -2x = 8 - 4

⇒ x = 4.

Thus, Sara present is 4 years and Ralph present age is 3x = 12

Suppose that 40 deer are introduced in a protected wilderness area. The population of the herd
Scorpion4ik [409]

The horizontal asymptote of the function is the minimum number of deer in the area.

  • The equation of horizontal asymptote is: \mathbf{y = 40}
  • The horizontal asymptote means that, the number of deer will never be less than 40

The equation is given as:

\mathbf{f(x) = \frac{40 + 2x}{1 + 0.05x}}

Expand the numerator

\mathbf{f(x) = \frac{40(1 + 0.05x)}{1 + 0.05x}}

Cancel out the common factor

\mathbf{f(x) = 40}

Hence, the equation of horizontal asymptote is:

\mathbf{y = 40}

The horizontal asymptote means that, the number of deer will never be less than 40

How are renewable and nonrenewable resources different?
Zinaida [17]

D.

Renewable resources can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time, but nonrenewable resources cannot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonrenewable resources can be depleted within a human lifespan while renewable resources cannot. An examp0le of a non-renewable resource is crude oil. With continuous mining of crude oil, the natural reserves will continue to decrease until it gets even harder and more expensive to find.

Renewable resources, however, are cannot  be depleted since they are ever self-renewing. An example is a wind and the sun whose energy can be harnessed to provide energy to power homes and businesses.

Perpendicular to y=2x+9 and has the point (4,-1)
Wewaii [24]

Answer: y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will find the slope. The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

      In this case, the first slope is 2. The negative of 2 is -2, and the reciprocal of -2 is -\frac{1}{2}.

      Now, we will plug in this new slope, the point given, and solve for the <em>b</em>, or the y-intercept.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

(-1) =  (-\frac{1}{2})(4) + <em>b</em>

-1 =  -2 + <em>b</em>

1 = <em>b</em>

     Lastly, we will write our equation.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1

          The line is y =  -\frac{1}{2}x + 1, or y = 1 - \frac{x}{2}.
