A factory began dumping toxic waste materials into a countryside lake. Before the dumping began, the estimated population of str

iped bass in the lake was 40,000. Since the dumping of toxic waste materials began, the population has decreased by one-half every month. Determine the equation that represents this situation and use it to decide which of the following graphs represents the population of striped bass, f(x), x months after the factory began dumping toxic waste materials into the lake.

Answer:

f(x)=40000(\frac{1}{2})^{x} and Graph X.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated population of striped bass in the lake was 40000.

After dumping of toxic waste materials from the factory population has decreased by one half every month.

So we can represent the sequence month by month as

a, a(\frac{1}{2}), a(\frac{1}{2})^{2}, a(\frac{1}{2})^{3}..... upto x months.

Now the explicit formula of this sequence will be

T_{x}=a(r)^{x}

Here a is the initial population = 40000

Common ratio = \frac{\frac{a}{2}}{a}=\frac{1}{2}

So explicit formula will be

f(x)=40000(\frac{1}{2})^{x}

When we graph the function points on the graph will be

(0, 40000), (1, 20000), (2, 10000)

These points lie on a curve given in graph X, which is the graph of exponential function.

Therefore the answer will be Graph X.

How do you do this? pls help !!!!!!!!
ValentinkaMS [17]

area is measured in "square" units. ... Area of a square = side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side squared. If a square has one side of 4 inches, the area would be 4 inches times 4 inches, or 16 square inches.

so you multiply the sides by each other.

Answer: sqrt(2)/2  which is choice D

======================================================

Explanation

(3pi/4) radians converts to 135 degrees after multiplying by the conversion factor (180/pi).

The angle 135 degrees is in quadrant 2. We subtract the angle 135 from 180 to find the reference angle

180-135 = 45

Then you can use a 45-45-90 triangle to determine that the ratio of opposite over hypotenuse is sqrt(2)/2

sine is positive in quadrant 2

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

Alternatively, you can use a unit circle. Refer to the diagram below. In red, I've circled the angle 3pi/4 radians. The terminal point for this angle has a y coordinate of sqrt(2)/2

Recall that y = sin(theta).
