Answer:

<em>There are approximately 114 rabbits in the year 10</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growth </u>

The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

P=P_o(1+r)^t

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.

We are given two measurements of the population of rabbits on an island.

In year 1, there are 50 rabbits. This is the point (1,50)

In year 5, there are 72 rabbits. This is the point (5,72)

Substituting in the general model, we have:

50=P_o(1+r)^1

50=P_o(1+r)\qquad\qquad[1]

72=P_o(1+r)^5\qquad\qquad[2]

Dividing [2] by [1]:

\displaystyle \frac{72}{50}=(1+r)^{5-1}=(1+r)^{4}

Solving for r:

\displaystyle r=\sqrt[4]{\frac{72}{50}}-1

Calculating:

r=0.095445

From [1], solve for Po:

\displaystyle P_o=\frac{72}{(1+r)^5}

\displaystyle P_o=\frac{72}{(1.095445)^5}

P_o=45.64355

The model can be written now as:

P=45.64355(1.095445)^t

In year t=10, the population of rabbits is:

P=45.64355(1.095445)^{10}

P = 113.6

P\approx 114

There are approximately 114 rabbits in the year 10

4(3x+5)= -4
NeX [460]

Answer/explanation

4(3x+5)=-4

You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,

12x+20=-4

Then you will combine like terms

12x+20=-4

     -20  -20

12x=-24

Then you will divide 12 to isolate x

\frac{12x}{-24} =\frac{-24}{-24}

Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2

Several high schools participated in a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a new computer-based math curriculum. In all these
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

a

the study is experimental as we do not just observe students performance. 2 techniques were also randomly assigned. there is control over teaching techniques and performance is also observed.

b.

these are the 3 factors: high school, instructions type, scores.

high school has 2 levels. level 1, is 3 high school. level 2: each high school has 4 sections and these 4 have 24 students.

instructions type: 1 level divided into standard and computer based.

scores: 0 ( no level)

c.

high school has between subject combination since there are 3 schools and 4 sections.

instructions type has between too. since there are two different types.

we have 24 students in each section which are within subjects.

d.

score on test is dependent variable

e.

student is basic experimental unit.
