Two researchers are studying the decline of orangutan populations. In one study, a population of 784 orangutans is expected to d

ecrease at a rate of 25 orangutans per year. In a second study, the population of a group of 817 orangutans is expected to decrease at a rate of 36 per year. After how many years will the two populations be the same?

Answer:

3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = number of orangutans, and let x = number of years.

For each study, the population, y, after x years is:

First study:

y = 784 - 25x

Second study:

y = 817 - 36x

We set the populations equal and solve for x, the number of years.

784 - 25x = 817 - 36x

Add 36x to both sides. Subtract 784 from both sides.

11x = 33

Divide both sides by 11.

x = 3

Answer: 3 years

Work out the value<br> of <br> 2. 4510 ×10to the power of 9<br> 1.15 × 10 to the power of 3
Simora [160]

Answer:

The result in standard form is: 2.3 \times 10^{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the values:

To find the real part, we divide 2.645 by 1.15. So

2.645/1.15 = 2.3

Finding the power:

Its a division, so we keep the base, and subtract the exponents. So

\frac{10^9}{10^3} = 10^{9-3} = 10^{6}

Result in standard form:

The result in standard form is: 2.3 \times 10^{6}
