Say 36% of 100 is 36. so knowing half of 36 is 18, take half of 100, 50.
so 18/50 = 36
The answer is 50.
This problem can be solve by graphing (technology), as suggested.
The answer is posted as an attached image. We see that after about 14.75 years, the invading species will surpass the indigenous population.
If it needs to be solved mathematically and accurately, the math is a little more advanced, using the bisection method, or Newton's method.
However, we can also do that by trial and error, starting from 14.75. It is easier than you might think.
Post if you would like to have more information on one or the other methods.
Note: the scale of y has been shrunk by 1000, so each unit on the y-axis represents 1000 frogs.
F(x , y) = x + y - xy, D is the closed triangular region with vertices (0, 0), (0 , 2) , and (4 , 0)
Option A would be your answer. We know 71 is the product. We also know that Sues age is one year less than half her mothers age. -1 comes from the problem saying one year less. We can already eliminate the other 3 options at this point.
