The fish population of Lake Collins is decreasing at a rate of 5% per year. In 2004 there were about 1,350 fish. Write an expone

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Part 1) The exponential function is equal to $y=1,350(0.95)^{x}$

Part 2) The population in 2010 was $992\ fish$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Write an exponential decay function that models this situation

we know that

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

$y=a(b)^{x}$

where

y ----> the fish population of Lake Collins since 2004

x ----> the time in years

a is the initial value

b is the base

we have

$a=1,350\ fish$

$b=(100\%-5\%)=95\%=0.95$

substitute

$y=1,350(0.95)^{x}$ ----> exponential function that represent this scenario

Part 2) Find the population in 2010

we have

$y=1,350(0.95)^{x}$

so

For $x=(2010-2004)=6\ years$

substitute

$y=1,350(0.95)^{6}=992\ fish$

The length and width of a rectangle are measured as 55 cm and 49 cm, respectively, with an error in measurement of at most 0.1 c

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is $10.4 \:cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle with length $L$ and width $W$ is $A= L\cdot W$ so the differential of <em>A</em> is

$dA=\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} \Delta L+\frac{\partial A}{\partial W} \Delta W$

$\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} = W\\\frac{\partial A}{\partial W}=L$ so

$dA=W\Delta L+L \Delta W$

We know that each error is at most 0.1 cm, we have $|\Delta L|\leq 0.1$ , $|\Delta W|\leq 0.1$ . To find the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle we take $\Delta L = 0.1$ , $\Delta W = 0.1$ and $L=55$ , $W=49$ . This gives

$dA=49\cdot 0.1+55 \cdot 0.1$

$dA=10.4$

Thus the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is $10.4 \:cm^2$

Find the power of 3/8^3

GREYUIT [131]

(3/8)³ = (3/8)(3/8)(3/8)

Multiply across:

(3/8) x (3/8) = 9/64

Simplify:

(9/64)(3/8) = 27/512

27/512 is your fraction answer (cannot be reduced).

To find the decimal answer, divide:

27/512 = 0.05

0.05 (rounded) is your decimal answer

hope this helps
