A population of insects increases at a rate of 1.5% per day. About how long will it take the population to double?

never [62]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

46.6 days

Explanation:

The general form for exponential growth is

$A=p(1+r)^t$ , where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent of growth, and t is the amount of time (in this case, days).

We do not know the initial amount, the total amount, or the amount of time. We do know that r, the percent of growth, is 1.5%; 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015:

$A=p(1+0.015)^t$

We also know we want the total amount, A, to be twice that of the initial amount, p:

$2p = p(1+0.015)^t
\\
2p=p(1.015)^t$

Divide both sides by p:

$\frac{2p}{p}=\frac{p(1.015)^t}{p}
\\
\\ 2=1.015^t$

Using logarithms to solve this,

$\log_{1.015}(2)=t
\\
\\46.6=t$

Answer:

J: x - 2y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug in x or y as 0 for the y-intercept and the x-intercept, respectively. But, for these specific equations, looking at the constant when y isn't multiplied by any number but 1 will show the y-intercept. (e.g. 2x + y = -12, -12 is the y-intercept, 2x - y = -20 -> -2x + y = 20, 20 is the y-intercept)

F: y-intercept = -12 (incorrect)

G: y-intercept = 0 (incorrect)

H: y-intercept = 20 (incorrect)

J: y-intercept = 4 (correct)

Answer:

The rational numbers are $\frac{11}{3}, 6.25, 0.01045,\sqrt{\frac{16}{81}},0.\bar{42}$ and the irrational functions are $\sqrt{48},\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example $2,3.5,\frac{2}{5},...$ .

An irrational function can not be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example $\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{5},...$ .

If any number is multiplied by a irrational number then the resultant number is an irrational number.

By the above definition we can conclude that:

The number $\frac{11}{3}$ is a rational number.

$\sqrt{48}=\sqrt{16\times 3}=4\sqrt{3}$

Therefore $\sqrt{48}$ is an irrational number.

$6.25=\frac{625}{100}=\frac{25}{4}$

Therefore 6.25 is a rational number.

$0.01045=\frac{1045}{100000}=\frac{209}{20000}$

Therefore 0.01045 is a rational number.

$\sqrt{\frac{16}{81}}=\frac{4}{9}$

The number $\frac{16}{81}$ is a rational number.

$\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$

The number $\frac{3}{14}$ is an irrational number.

$0.\bar{42}=\frac{42}{99}$

Therefore $0.\bar{42}$ is an irrational number. The numbers with recursive bar are always rational numbers.
