Answer:

3,240

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the population of rabbits in the year 2003 is shown below:

Given that

In the year 1995, the population of the rabbits was 1000

And, in 1999 the population of the rabbits grown to 1,800

So there is an increase of

= (1800 - 1000) ÷ 1000

= 80%

So for 2003, the population of the rabbits is

= 1800 + (1800 × 0.80)

= 3,240

Given:

The population of rabbits on an island is growing exponentially.

In the year 1995, the population of rabbits was 1000, and by 1999 the population had grown to 1800.

To find:

Expected population of rabbits in the year 2003, to the nearest whole number.

Solution:

The exponential growth model is:

y=ab^t

Where, a is the initial value, b is the growth factor, t is the number of years.

Let y be the population of rabbits t years after 1995.

In the year 1995, the population of rabbits was 1000, it can be written as (0,1000) and by 1999 the population had grown to 1800, it can be written as (4,1800).

For (0,1000),

1000=ab^0

1000=a(1)

1000=a

For (4,1800) and a=1000, we get

1800=1000b^4

\dfrac{1800}{1000}=b^4

1.8=b^4

(1.8)^{\frac{1}{4}}=b

b\approx 1.1583

The required exponential model is:

y=1000(1.1583)^t         ...(i)

in year 2003, the number of years since 1995 is 8.

Putting t=8 in (i), we get

y=1000(1.1583)^8

y=3240.1748

y\approx 3240

Therefore, the population of rabbits in the year 2003 is 3240.

Find an equation of the circle that satisfies the given conditions. (Give your answer in terms of x and y.) Center at the origin
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The equation of circle is x^2+y^2=65.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the circle passes through the point (8,1) and center at the origin.

The distance between any point and the circle and center is called radius. it means radius of the given circle is the distance between (0,0) and (8,1).

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula the radius of circle is

r=\sqrt{\left(8-0\right)^2+\left(1-0\right)^2}=\sqrt{65}

The standard form of a circle is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2         .... (1)

where, (h,k) is center and r is radius.

The center of the circle is (0,0). So h=0 and k=0.

Substitute h=0, k=0 and r=\sqrt{65} in equation (1).

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=(\sqrt{65})^2

x^2+y^2=65

Therefore the equation of circle is x^2+y^2=65.

If you place a cup of 210 degree Fahrenheit coffee on a table in a room that is 68 degrees fareinheit, and ten minutes later, it
Lana71 [14]
Newton's Law of Cooling

Tf=Ts+(Ti-Ts)e^(-kt)   where Tf is temp at time t, Ts is temp of surroundings, Ti is temp of object/fluid.  So we need to find k first.

200=68+(210-68)e^(-10k)

132=142e^(-10k)

132/142=e^(-10k)

ln(132/142)=-10k

k=-ln(132/142)/10

k≈0.0073  so 

T(t)=68+142e^(-0.0073t)  so how long until it reaches 180°?

180=68+142e^(-0.0073t)

112=142e^(-0.0073t)

112/142=e^(-0.0073t)

ln(112/142)=-0.0073t

t= -ln(112/142)/(0.0073)

t≈32.51 minutes
