Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that there is an exponential decay.
Also, the decrease is of constant rate 7.9% i.e. 0.079 each year.
Since, the initial amount of the species is atleast 26 million.
Thus, the inequality for the corresponding model will be, ,
where t is the time period for the decay and P is the population.
Moreover, is is given that the population cannot be less than 2 million.
So, we get, .
Hence, the inequalities to determine the possible number of insects over time are given by,
.
Answer:
(a)
(b)
(c) Jim initially had 48; Kirk initially had 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): An equation for the amount they originally had.
From the question, we understand that j is 4 times as many as k.
Mathematically, this is:
Solving (b): Equation after Kirk wins
Initially Kirk had k.
To get the new expression, we add 18 to k.
This gives: 18 + k
In the same vein, Jim's number of chirps will reduce by 18.
Initially, Jim had j chirps (or 4k chirps)
To get the new expression, we subtract 18 from j.
This gives: j - 18
So, the equation is:
Solving (c): Number of chirps they started with.
In (b), we have:
Substitute 4k for j

Divide both sides by 3
Substitute 12 for k in
