Answer:

85, 68, 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Average: The sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers

If the ratio of the scores is 5 : 4 : 3, let's just set it as 5x : 4x : 3x

Then using the definition of an average, we can write this equation.

(5x + 4x + 3x) / 3 = 68

Multiply both sides by 3.

5x + 4x + 3x = 68 * 3

Simplify.

12x = 204

x = 17

Now, substitute x = 17 into the original scores (5x, 4x, and 3x)

5x = 5 * 17 = 85

4x = 4 * 17 = 68

3x = 3 * 17 = 51

Just in case, let's check this answer. Find the average of the 3 test scores.

(85 + 68 + 51) / 3 =

204 / 3 = 68

Thus, the answers are correct

The birth rate of a population is b(t) = 2300e0.021t people per year and the death rate is d(t)= 1450e0.018t people per year, fi
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

38,674.This area represents the increase in population over a 10-year period.

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphed over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 10, the birth rate is more than the death rate. This means the area between the two curves is the amount of births subtract the amount of deaths. This results in an area which means the increase of the population.

The birth rate is graphed in green and the death rate is graphed in blue.

To find the area, take the integral of the difference of the functions:

\int\limits^{10}_0 {2300e^{0.021t} - 1450e^{0.018t} } \, dt \\\\\frac{2300e^{0.021t}}{0.021} -  \frac{1450e^{0.018t}}{0.018} \\\\(\frac{2300e^{0.21}}{0.021} -\frac{1450e^{0.18}}{0.018} ) - (\frac{2300}{0.021}- \frac{1450}{0.018} ) \\\\135117.12 - 96442.51 \\\\38,674
