Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite angles in a quadrilateral theorem states that when a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, the angles that are opposite each other are supplementary, their degree measures add up to 180 degrees. One can apply this here by using the sum of (<C) and (<A) to find the measure of the parameter (z). Then one can substitute in the value of (z) to find the measure of (<B). Finally, one can use the opposite angles in a quadrilateral theorem to find the measure of angle (<D) by using the sum of (<B) and (D).
Use the opposite angles in an inscribed quadrialteral theorem,
<A + <C = 180
Substitute,
14x - 7 + 8z = 180
Simplify,
22z - 7 = 180
Inverse operations,
22z = 187
z =
Simplify,
z =
Now substitute the value of (z) into the expression given for the measure of angle (<B)
<B = 10z
<B = 10()
Simplify,
<B = 85
Use the opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral theorem to find the measure of (<D)
<B + <D = 180
Substitute,
85 + <D = 180
Inverse operations,
<D = 95
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.
