Answer:

<em>Arielle has 374 grasshoppers and 187 crickets</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set:

x = number of grasshoppers

y = number of crickets

Arielle has a collection of 561 insects, thus:

x + y = 561            [1]

The number of grasshoppers is twice the number of crickets, thus:

x = 2y                   [2]

Substituting [2] in [1]:

2y + y = 561

Simplifying:

3y = 561

Dividing by 3:

y = 561/3

y = 187

From [2]:

x = 2*187 = 374

x = 374

Arielle has 374 grasshoppers and 187 crickets

<span>The answer: b. translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x + 8, y + 2) and reflected across the x-axis

If you make the drawing of the situation you realize the you need a reflection through the x-axis, but first you need to translate the polygon several units to the left and upward.

You can see that all the x-coordinates have increased 8 units, so the solution has to include x + 8.

Also, you see that you have to move the polygon 2 units upward before doing the reflection so the solution has to include y + 2.

So, the answer is (x,y) ---> (x + 8, y + 2) and then reflection across the x-axis.

The amount A of the radioactive element radium in a sample decays at a rate proportional to the amount of radium present. Given
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a) \frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m, b) m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }, c) m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }, d) m(300) \approx 8.842\,g

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let assume an initial mass m decaying at a constant rate k throughout time, the differential equation is:

\frac{dm}{dt} = -k\cdot m

b) The general solution is found after separating variables and integrating each sides:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }

Where \tau is the time constant and k = \frac{1}{\tau}

c) The time constant is:

\tau = \frac{1690\,yr}{\ln 2}

\tau = 2438.155\,yr

The particular solution of the differential equation is:

m(t) = 10\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{2438.155} }

d) The amount of radium after 300 years is:

m(300) \approx 8.842\,g

What are the solutions for x when y is equal to 0 in the following quadratic
lawyer [7]

Answer:

D) x = -12 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is:

y=x^2+10x-24

When y=0, we obtain:

x^2+10x-24=0

We split the middle term with -2, 12 because their product is is -24 and their sum is 10.

x^2-2x+12x-24=0

We factor by grouping to obtain:

x(x-2)+12(x-2)=0

(x-2)(x+12)=0

Either (x-2)=0 or (x+12)=0

Either x=2 or x=-12
