Question 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

698 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;

y = a•(1 + r)^t

originally, there were 3 fishes

The original value in this case means a = 3

After 6 weeks, there were 31

31 in this case is y

r is the increase percentage or rate

t is the time

So, we have it that;

31 = 3•(1 + r)^6

31/3 = (1 + r)^6

10.33 = (1 + r)^6

ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)

ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)

e^0.3892 = (1 + r)

1 + r = 1.476

r = 1.476-1

r = 0.476 or 47.6%

So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%

For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;

So ;

y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14

y = 3(1.476)^14

y = 698 fishes

If r and s are positive integers, is \small \frac{r}{s} an integer? (1) Every factor of s is also a factor of r. (2) Every prime
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<em>If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em>If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two positive integers r and s.

To check whether \small \frac{r}{s} is an integer:

Condition (1):

Every factor of s is also a factor of r.

r \geq s

Let us consider an example:

s = 5^2 \cdot 2\\r = 5^3 \cdot 2^2

\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{5^3\cdot2^2}{5^2\cdot2} = 10

which is an integer.

Actually, in this situation s is a factor of r.

Condition 2:

Every prime factor of <em>s</em> is also a prime factor of <em>r</em>.

(But the powers of prime factors need not be equal as we are not given the conditions related to powers of prime factors.)

Let

r = 2^2\cdot 5\\s =2^4\cdot 5

\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{2^3\cdot5}{2^4\cdot5} = \dfrac{1}{2}

which is not an integer.

So, the answer is:

<em>If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>

<em>If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that </em>\small \frac{r}{s}<em> is an integer.</em>
