We have been given that the population of a certain species of fish has a growth rate of 2.2% per year. It is estimated that the the current population is 350,000.

We are asked to find the time it will take the fish population to reach 1,000,000.

We will use exponential growth formula to solve our given problem.

An exponential growth function is in form y=a\cdot (1+r)^x, where,

y = Final amount,

a = Initial amount,

r = Growth rate in decimal form,

x = Time

2.2\%=\frac{2.2}{100}=0.022

y=350,000\cdot (1+0.022)^x

To find the time for the fish population to reach 1,000,000, we will substitute x=1,000,000 in our equation as:

1,000,000=350,000\cdot (1+0.022)^x

1,000,000=350,000\cdot (1.022)^x

\frac{1,000,000}{350,000}=\frac{350,000\cdot (1.022)^x}{350,000}

2.8571428571428571=(1.022)^x

Now we will take natural log on both sides:

\text{ln}(2.8571428571428571)=\text{ln}((1.022)^x)

\text{ln}(2.8571428571428571)=x\cdot \text{ln}(1.022)

x=\frac{\text{ln}(2.8571428571428571)}{\text{ln}(1.022)}

x=\frac{1.0498221244986776733}{0.0217614917815127}

x=48.2421947

Upon rounding to nearest tenth, we will get:

x\approx 48.2

Therefore, it will take approximately 48.2 years for the fish population to reach 1,000,000.

Multiply the first equation by 2 or divide the second one my 2, to get the #X opposites, to cancel each other out

-4x+6y=12
4x-6y=-6

Or

-2x+3y=6
2x-3y=-3

there’s no solution either way

I need to find the value of X
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

17.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This figure is a pentagon - a shape with 5 sides. In a pentagon, the figure's angles add to 540.

100 + 7x-4 + 3x + 23 + 9x - 6 + 90 = 540

190 +19x + 13 = 540

203 + 19x = 540

19x = 337

x = 17.7

If the volume of a sphere is 36 pi cubic units, what is the radius?
Radda [10]

Answer:

3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

The sphere volume is:

(4/3)*Pi*r^3

then

36 = (4/3)*Pi*r^3

36/[(4/3)*Pi] = r^3

8,5 = r^3

r = 3

Best regards
