Zoologists are studying two newly discovered species of insects in a previously unexplored section of rain forest. They estimate
salantis [7]
The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation 
     Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t 
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is 
     Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t

We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal: 
     Pa = Pb
     1.3(1-0.038)^t  = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
     1.3(0.962)^t  = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.

We can now solve for t:
     (0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
     (0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
     t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
     t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

<h2>x = 0, y = 5, z = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x,\ y,\ z-\text{three numbers}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x+2z)-y=1&(1)\\z+2x=3&(2)\\x+3y+z=18&(3)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\z+2x=3\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\z=3-2x\qquad(*)\\\\\text{Substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to (1) and (3)}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+2(3-2x)-y=1&\text{use the distributive property}\\x+3y+(3-2x)=18\end{array}\right

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+(2)(3)+(2)(-2x)-y=1\\x+3y+3-2x=18&\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+6-4x-y=1&\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\(x-2x)+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}(x-4x)-y=-5\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-3x-y=-5&\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right

\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-9x-3y=-15\\-x+3y=15\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add all sides of the equations}\\.\qquad-10x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=0}\\\\\text{Put it to the second equation:}\\-0+3y=15\\3y=15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\boxed{y=5}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to}\ (*):\\\\z=3-2(0)\\\boxed{z=3}

Leena walked 2/3 of a mile What is 2/3 written as a sum of unit fractions with the denominator of nine
aliya0001 [1]
Bear in mind that multiplying anything, and anything whatsoever by 1, has a product of the anything itself.

so, let's multiply 2/3 by 1 then and check about,

\bf \cfrac{same}{same}=1\qquad thus\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 1\implies \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{3}{3}\implies \cfrac{6}{9}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{now, we can split that and write it as a sum}\implies \cfrac{1+5}{9}\implies \cfrac{1}{9}+\cfrac{5}{9}
