Answer:

9500

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientists tagged 950 pike for a research project about a local lake. Later, they trapped 100 pike, of which 10 had tags. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the pike population?

The best estimate of a population is calculated as:

= N = mn/k

Where N = Estimate of the population

m = 950 pike

n = 100 pike

k = 10 tags

= 950 × 100/10

= 9500

The best estimate of he population = 9500

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 9696 meters. The length is 6 meters longer than twice the width. Find the dimensions of
nalin [4]

length = 3234 m and width = 1614 m

let the width = w then length = 2w + 6

Perimeter = 2 ( length + width )

               = 2 (2w + 6 + w ) = 2 ( 3w + 6 ) = 6w + 12

given perimeter = 9696 the equating gives

6w + 12 = 9696

subtract 12 from both sides

6w = 9696 - 12 = 9684

divide both sides by 6

w = \frac{9684}{6} = 1614

width = 1614 m and length = (2 × 1614 ) + 6 = 3234 m

HELP ASAP
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of dimes=x

and number of quarters=y

x=2y

0.10 x+0.25 y=2.25

or 10x+25y=225

divide by 5

2x+5y=45

2 ×2y+5y=45

4y+5y=45

9y=45

y=45/9=5

x=2y=2×5=10

Hence dimes=10

quarters=5

If p(x) = x2 – 1 and q (x) = 5 (x minus 1), which expression is equivalent to (p – q)(x)?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = x² - 1 and Q(x) = 5(x - 1)

(P - Q)(x) = x² - 1 - 5(x - 1)

= x² - 1 - 5x + 5

= x² - 5x + 4
