I'm not sure what you meant after alligators, if it was or or for, but I think it was for so I'm going with that. If 60 increase every 5 years, it would be 60 over 5 (in fractions). So I would do 60 divided by 5, which would be 12. So that means 12 increase every year. I'm not sure what mean meant either, if you're talking about the mathematical mean, but you can't solve the mean in this problem. The Answer: The yearly change in the alligator population would be 12.
The answer to what is 1,000 to the power of 4 is 1,000,000
we don't know what the value of "X" is, so therefore, we cannot conclude that it is 15 cm.
The question might have some mistake since there are 2 multiplier of t. I found a similar question as follows:
The population P(t) of a culture of bacteria is given by P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum. Round to the nearest hour.
Answer:
27 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of population P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000
Find the derivative of the function to find the critical value
dP/dt = -2(1710)t + 92000
= -3420t + 92000
Find the critical value by equating dP/dt = 0
-3420t + 92000 = 0
92000 = 3420t
t = 92000/3420 = 26.90
Check if it really have max value through 2nd derivative
d(dP)/dt^2 = -3420
2nd derivative is negative, hence it has maximum value
So, the time when it is maximum is 26.9 or 27 hours
