Answer:

539

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total population of  grizzly bears=x

In the first capture, 97 were tagged.

Therefore, ratio of the total population to the tagged=x:97

A month later, when 200 bears were captured, 36 were tagged.

Ratio of the sample to the tagged=200:36

Since a sample is representative of the population, the ratios are the same. We therefore have:

x:97=200:36

\dfrac{x}{97} =\dfrac{200}{36}\\ $Cross multiply\\36x=200 X 97\\x=200 X 97 \div 36\\x=538.9 \approx 539

There are about 539 grizzly bears in the population

You have to begin by declaring what g(f(x)) means. It means that wherever you see an x in g(x) you put in f(x).

I
t will look like this to start with
g(f(x)) = (f(x) + 5) / (f(x) 

Now substitute into this for g(-3)

g(x^2 + 5) = (x^2 + 5 + 5)/(x^2 + 5) It's time to use some numbers.
g(- 3) = ((-3)^2 + 10)/( (-3)^2 +5)
g(-3) = ( 9 + 10 ) / ( 9 + 5)
g(-3) = (19)/14 <<<<<< answer.
C <<<< answer.

How to solve 10m-2/5=48/5
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10m-2/5=9 and 3/5

10m-2/5=9.6 (where 9 and 3/5 is equal to 9.6)

50m-2=48 (i multiplied 10m by 5 and 9.6 by 5)

50m=50 ( i added 2 to both sides)

m=1 ( i divided by 50 to both sides to find m)
