A biologist took a count of the number of migrating waterfowl at a particular lake, and recounted the lake's population of water

fowl on each of the next six weeks.
Week 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Population 660 668 738 870 1064 1320 1638

Quadratic function ( in standard form ):

y = a x² + b x + c

x = 0:

635 = 0 + 0 + c

c = 635

x = 1:

644 = a + b + 635

a + b = 9

x = 2:

719 = 4 a + 2 b + 635

4 a + 2 b = 84

and now we have a system:

a + b = 9   /  * ( - 2 )

4 a + 2 b = 84

-------------------------

- 2 a + 2 b = - 18

+

 4 a + 2 b  = 84

-------------------------

  2 a = 66

 a = 33;   b = - 24;

 Function is:

 f ( x ) = 33 x² - 24 x + 635

f ( 8 ) = 33 * 64 - 24 * 8 + 635 = 2,112 - 192 + 635 = 2,555

 Answer: The number of waterfowl on week 8 would be 2,555.

Answer:

The side s has a length of 4 and side q has a length of 4\sqrt{3} ⇒ F

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 30°-60°-90° triangle, there is a ratio between its sides

side opp (30°) : side opp (60°) : hypotenuse

       1               :         \sqrt{3}            :        2

In the given triangle

∵ The side opposite to 30° is s

∵ The side opposite to 60° is q

∵ The hypotenuse is 8

→ Use the ratio above to find the lengths of s and q

side opp (30°) : side opp (60°) : hypotenuse

       1               :         \sqrt{3}            :        2

       s               :          q             :        8

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ s × 2 = 1 × 8

∴ 2s = 8

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ s = 4

∴ The length of s is 4

∵ q × 2 = \sqrt{3} × 8

∴ 2q = 8\sqrt{3}

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ q = 4\sqrt{3}

∴ The length of q is 4\sqrt{3}
