Lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%. A scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish i

n a certain bay after the first year.
Part A: Write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years. Show all necessary math work. (4 points)

Part B: How many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years? Round to the nearest whole number and show all necessary math work. (3 points)

Part C: If scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, what is the recursive equation for f (n)? Show all necessary math work. (3 points)

There would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.

Since lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%, ya scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year, A) to write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years; B) determine how many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years; and C) if scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, determine what is the recursive equation for f (n); the following calculations must be performed:

  • A)
  • 8000 x 1.67 ^ n = f  
  • B)
  • 8000 x 1.67 ^ 6 = X
  • 8000 x 21.691961596369 = X
  • 173,535.692770952 = X  
  • C)
  • (8000 - 1200 x 1 ^ n) x 1.67 ^ n = f

Therefore, there would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.

Find the area of each figure. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
natita [175]

Answer:

Solution given:

1.

diameter(d)=6mm

base(b)=8mm

height (h)=5mm

Area of figure=area of parallelogram +area of semi circle

  • base*height+½π(d/2)²
  • 8*5+½*π×(6/2)²
  • 40+14.14
  • 54.4mm²
  • <u>Area</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>5</u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>m</u><u>m</u><u>²</u>

2.

for triangle

base[b]=6ft

height(h)=9ft

for square

length[l]=9ft

Area of figure=area of square +area of triangle

  • =l²+½*b*h
  • =9²+½*6*9
  • =81+27
  • =108ft²
  • <u>Area</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>8</u><u>f</u><u>t</u><u>²</u>

4. Diego is thinking of two positive numbers. He says, "If we triple the first number and
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34. and two possible pairs of positive numbers are  (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) and (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let the First positive number be <em>x</em> and second positive number be <em>y.</em>

Triple of first number = 3<em>x</em>

double of second number = 2<em>y</em>

According to question,

3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

Therefore, the equation is 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

So the two possible pair of numbers Diego would be thinking of must satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

Now,  3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34

3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>

Let x = 10 and by substituting its value in above expression,

3 \times 10 = 34 - 2y

30 = 34 - 2y

2y = 34 - 30

2y = 4

y = 2

Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2)

In the same way put x = 4 then,

3<em>x </em>= 34 - 2<em>y</em>

3 \times 4 = 34 - 2y

2y = 34 - 12

2y = 22

y = 11

Therefore first pair (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11)

Therefore, (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (4, 11) and  (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (10, 2) are the two possible pairs of numbers Diego could be thinking of as these both values satisfy the equation 3<em>x </em>+ 2<em>y</em> = 34.
