The sum of two numbers is 72. The greater number is 8 more than the smaller number. Which equation can be used to solve for the

smaller number? (1 point)
x(x − 8) = 72

x − (x + 8) = 72

x + (x + 8) = 72

x(x + 8) = 72

X+y=72
x-y=8

different terms add
similar signs subtract
2x+y-y=80
2x=80
x=40
y=32

The population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the law of uninhibited growth. If there are 1000 mosquitoes initially and there a

Anettt [7]

Answer:

1) The size of the colony after 4 days is 6553 mosquitoes

2) After $t = 4.9\ days$

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you must use the growth formula

$N = N_0e ^ {kt}$

Where

$N_0$ is the initial population of mosquitoes = 1000

t is the time in days

k is the growth rate

N is the population according to the number of days

We know that when t = 1 and $N_0=1000$ then N = 1600

Then we use these values to find k.

$1600 = 1000e ^{k(1)}\\\\\frac{1600}{1000} = e ^ k\\\\ln(\frac{1600}{1000}) = k\\\\k = 0.47$

Now that we know k we can find the size of the colony after 4 days.

$N = 1000e ^ {0.47(4)}\\\\N = 6553\ mosquitoes$

To know how long it should take for the population to reach 10,000 mosquitoes we must do N = 10000 and solve for t.

$10000 = 1000e ^ {0.47t}\\\\10 = e ^ {0.47t}\\\\ln(10) = 0.47t\\\\t = \frac{ln(10)}{0.47}\\\\t = 4.9\ days$

I need to know number 5 just what it says thank you

Stels [109]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! Time to use the Pythagoras theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 7^2 = x^2

16 + 49 = c^2

65 = c^2

Let's take the square root of both sides to get

c ~ 8.06

C
