The function f(x) = 40(1.2)x represents the fox population of a forest x years after it was first studied. What was the original

population of the foxes?

1 answer:

Marina86 [1]3 years ago

3 0

The original population of the foxes is when the years, $x=0$

$f(0)=40 (1.2)^{0}$
$f(0)=40$

Hence, the original population of the fox is 40

Answer: The number of ceral boxes per day.

Because the slope will be [rise of the grah of the model function] / [run of the graph of the model function].

rise = [increase in the number of cereal boxes sold]

run = [days elapsed ]

rise / run = number of cereal boxes sold per day

Giving 15 points for help!

Answer: The correct statements are 'The equation 2n = p should be 2p = n' , 'The actual cost of the onions is $3.00 per pound' and 'Potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.'

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, p represents cost of one potato and n represents the cost of one onion.

And, According to the question, He purchases 6 pounds of potatoes, p, and 3 pounds of onions, n, for $18.

Therefore, 6p +3n = 18 ------(1)

And, Onions cost twice as much as potatoes.

Therefore, n= 2p ---------(2)

Putting the values of n from 2) in equation 1),

we get, 6p+3(2p)=18

⇒6p+6p=18 ⇒ 12p =18 ⇒ p = 1.5 dollar.

Thus cost of one potato= $1.5

And cost of one onion = $ 2× 1.5= $ 3.00

Thus with help of above explanation we can say that Options first, third and fifth are correct.

Largest Possible GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<h2>96 and 48</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we have to find the largest possible greatest common factor, which is 48.

Now, numbers 96 and 48 have as Greatest Common Factor 48, that's the largest number possible that is common to both numbers because

48/48 = 1

96/48 = 2

Therefore, the answer is 96 and 48, because they don't have repetitive digits.

The ratio of students wearing sneakers to those wearing boots is 4 to 5. If there are 36 students in the class, and all of them

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote:

a: number of students wearing sneakers

b: number of students wearing boots

We have:

a + b = 36

a/b = 4/5 (multiply both sides by b => a = 4b/5)

Substitute a = 4b/5 into a + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + 5b/5 = 36

=> 9b/5 = 36

=> b/5 = 4

=> b = 20

=> a = 4b/5 = 4(20)/5 = 16

Given: △ABC, m∠A=120°, AB=AC=1<br> Find: The radius of circumscribed circle

Citrus2011 [14]

In Δ ABC, ∠A=120°, AB=AC=1

To draw a circumscribed circle Draw perpendicular bisectors of any of two sides.The point where these bisectors meet is the center of the circle.Mark the center as O.

Then join OA, OB, and OC.

Taking any one OA,OB and OC as radius draw the circumcircle.

Now, from O Draw OM⊥AB and ON⊥AC.

As chord AB and AC are equal,So OM and ON will also be equal.

The reason being that equal chords are equidistant from the center.

AM=MB=1/2 and AN=NC=1/2 [ perpendicular from the center to the chord bisects the chord.]

In Δ OMA and ΔONA

OM=ON [proved above]

OA is common.

MA=NA=1/2 [proved above]

ΔOMA≅ ONA [SSS]

∴ ∠OAN =∠OAM=60° [ CPCT]

In Δ OAN

$\cos60=\frac {AN}{OA}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{OA}$

OA=1

∴ OA=OB=OC=1, which is the radius of given Circumscribed circle.
