In 1991, the moose population in a park was measured to be 1900. By 1997, the population was measured again to be 3600. If the p

opulation continues to change linearly: Find a formula for the moose population, P, in terms of t , the years since 1990. P = What does your model predict the moose population to be in 2007?

Answer:

Since this is a linear (non-exponential) population problem you can just use the standard y=mx+b form of an equation. Where m = (change in population/change in years)

The numbers you were provided state that over the course of 7 years (1998-1991) the population increased by 420 people (4130-3710). So, (420/7) = 60 = m. Assuming that the growth rate for 1990 is the same as 1991. then you would have a starting population of (3710-60) or 3650, that would be your "b" value since at t=0 P(t) = 3650. This yields a final equation of P(t) = 60t +3650. Check the answer at t=1 and you get the population during 1991: 3710.

When solving a compound inequality. Micah wrote the solution as x> or equal to 50 OR x>or equal to 75. What is a simpler w
REY [17]

Answer:

The best way of writing this answer in an inequality pattern is 50 ≤ x ≥ 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable "x" is said to be greater than or equal to 50, that means that x could be 50, 51, 52, 53, 54......to infinity, all these values are true for x.

The second solution said x is greater or equal to 70. This also means that x could be 70, 71, 72, 73, ......... to infinity.

The inference that can be drawn from here is that x actually started from 50, so anything lesser than 50 is lesser than x, so 50 ≤ x. We can join the two answers together to get a range in a form like: 50 ≤ x ≥ 70

Simplify (x^3/8)^3/4
Viktor [21]

When an exponent is raised to another exponent, you can multiply the powers to simplify them.

3/8*3/4

<em>*Multiply numerators*</em>

3*3=9

<em>*Multiply denominators*</em>

8*4=32

x^9/32

Hope this helps!!

He counted 206 wheels and 170 pedals. How many bicycles and tricycles does he have.
noname [10]
Bicycle has 2 wheels and 2 pedals
 tricycle has 3 wheels and 2 pedals

EQ 1 : 2b + 2t = 170 pedals

 EQ 2: 2b +3t = 206 wheels

subtract  EQ 1 from EQ 2

2b +3t = 206 - 2b + 2t = 170 = t=36

 there were 36 tricycles

36 x 2 = 72 pedals

170 pedals - 72 = 98 pedals left
98/2 = 49 bicycles

36 Tricycles and 49 bicycles

Help me please! which bisects the chord?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are given that chord AB's length is 8 and is bisected by segment XC, that means segment BC's length is 4 and ∠XCB is a right angle. From there, we use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for length XC:

4² + b² = 5² (Or remember 3-4-5 makes a Pythagorean triple)

c = √(5²-4²)

c = 3
