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.

Can someone explain to me why you flip the reciprial
puteri [66]

Answer:

By flipping the second fraction (finding its reciprocal) we change the equation mathematically. In order to maintain the equation mathematically, we must turn the division question into a multiplication question.

Two corresponding sides of similar triangles are 2 cm and 5 cm. What is the area of the second triangle if the area of the first
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

(1) Area of second triangle= 50 cm^2.

(2) Area of ΔABC=98 cm^2.

   and Area of ΔDFG=175 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>" For two similar triangles the ratio of sides is equal to the ratio of square of their areas".</em>

i.e. if a,b are the corresponding sides of two similar triangles and let A and B denote the area of two triangles then we have the relation as:

\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}

(1)

for the first question:

we have a=2, b=5.

A=8 cm^2.

Hence,

\dfrac{2^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{8}{B}\\\\\dfrac{4}{25}=\dfrac{8}{B}

B=50 cm^2.

Hence, the area of second triangle is 50 cm^2.

(2)

In second option we have:

a=6 and b=5.

A-B=77 cm^2.

A=77+B

\dfrac{6^2}{5^2}=\dfrac{A}{B}\\  \\\dfrac{36}{25}=\dfrac{77+B}{B}\\  \\36B=25\times77+25B\\\\36B-25B=25\times77\\\\11B=25\times77\\\\B=25\times7\\\\B=175

Hence area of second triangle i.e. ΔDFG is 175 cm^2.

and area of first triangle i.e. ΔABC=175-77=98 cm^2.
