The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation
Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is
Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal:
Pa = Pb
1.3(1-0.038)^t = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
1.3(0.962)^t = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.
We can now solve for t:
(0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
(0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.
This might help explain how to do a very similar problem.... http://www.mathopenref.com/constbisectline.html
Answer:
6^3=6×6×6=216. So, the answer is 6x6x6 and 216.
Intuitively, one would think the ball would land in the green spot 2 out of the 38 times, since there are 38 slots and 2 are green.
The probability that it lands in a green section is 2/38. Multiplying this by the number of times the experiment is performed, we get (2/38)(38) = 2.
