Answer:

Meanings of the numbers:

Most numbers represent an amount. Positive numbers represent above zero. Zero is the only number that does not represent an amount. It means nothing. When you go lower than nothing, you are in the negative numbers. Negative numbers represent absent values pretty much.

How I would use them in every day life:

I would use positive numbers to represent... maybe something I'm trying to get at a store. Ex: 4 bananas

I would use negative numbers to... maybe look at the temperature. Ex: -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Negative numbers are in temperature all the time.

Hope this helps! (^-^)

Renting video games from Store S costs $2.50 per game plus a monthly fee of $5.00. Renting video games from Store T costs $5.00

tigry1 [53]

Answer: A. 2.5v+5v < 5v

Step-by-step explanation:

represents the piece of information which states that renting videos is $2.50 per game and the 2.5 is multiplied by the number of games v. Five is added as a monthly fee therefore the left side of the equation should be 2.5v+5.

For store T:

There is no monthly fee and so the renting fee of $5 per game is represented as 5v.

In conclusion, if the inequality sign in the middle is less than (<) then the left hand side of the inequality sign should represent store S and the right hand side should represent store T in order to answer the question. This makes option A the only correct option.

A population of squirrels on an island has a carrying capacity of 350 individuals. If the maximum rate of increase is 1.0 per in

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The population growth rate is 59 squirrels per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A population of squirrels on an island has a carrying capacity of 350 individuals. If the maximum rate of increase is 1.0 per individual per year and the population size is 275.

Now, to find the population growth rate.

Carrying capacity ( $K$ ) = 350.

Maximum rate ( $r_{max}$ ) = 1.0 per individual per year.

Population size ( $N$ ) = 275.

Now, to get the population growth rate we put formula:

$\frac{dN}{dT}= r_{max}\frac{K-N}{K}N$

$\frac{dN}{dT}=1.0\times \frac{350-275}{350}\times 275\\\\\frac{dN}{dT}=1.0\times \frac{75}{350}\times 275\\\\\frac{dN}{dT}=1.0\times 0.214\times 275\\\\\frac{dN}{dT}=58.85.$

So, rounding to nearest whole number of the population growth rate is 59 squirrels per year.

Therefore, the population growth rate is 59 squirrels per year.
