2.) A zoo is raising a young elephant. They put him on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. He gains 6 kilograms

per month. After 8 months, he weighed 138 kilograms. Write an equation that will track the elephant’s weight. How much will the elephant weigh-in 20
months?

Answer:

  • y = 6x + 90
  • 210 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is a linear relationship:</u>

  • y = mx + b

<u>We have:</u>

  • m = 6 and a point (8, 138)

<u>Work out the y-intercept by using the above information:</u>

  • 138 = 6*8 + b
  • b = 138 - 48
  • b = 90

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • y = 6x + 90

<u>Find the value of y when x = 20:</u>

  • y = 6*20 + 90 = 120 + 90 = 210 kg

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The weight after 20 months is 210 kilos.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • 1 month = 6 kilos
  • => 8 months = 6 x 8 = 48 kilos
  • => x + 48 = 138
  • => x = 90

<u>This means that the starting point is 90 kilos.</u>

  • => 1 month = 6 kilos
  • => 20 months = 6 x 20 kilos
  • => 20 months = 120 kilos
  • => 90 + 120 = weight in 20 months
  • => <u>210 kilos = weight in 20 months</u>

Hence,<u> the weight after 20 months is 210 kilos.</u>

Hoped this helped.

Find the function r that satisfies the given condition. r'(t) = (e^t, sin t, sec^2 t): r(0) = (2, 2, 2) r(t) = ()
lesantik [10]

Answer:

r(t) = (e^t +1, -cos(t) + 3, tan(t) + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A primitive of e^t is e^t+c, since r(0) has 2 in its first cooridnate, then

e^0+c = 2

1+c = 2

c = 1

Thus, the first coordinate of r(t) is e^t + 1.

A primitive of sin(t) is -cos(t) + c (remember that the derivate of cos(t) is -sin(t)). SInce r(0) in its second coordinate is 2, then

-cos(0)+c = 2

-1+c = 2

c = 3

Therefore, in the second coordinate r(t) is equal to -cos(t)+3.

Now, lets see the last coordinate.

A primitive of sec²(t) is tan(t)+c (you can check this by derivating tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t) using the divition rule and the property that cos²(t)+sin²(t) = 1 for all t). Since in its third coordinate r(0) is also 2, then we have that

2 = tan(0)+c = sin(0)/cos(0) + c = 0/1 + c = 0

Thus, c = 2

As a consecuence, the third coordinate of r(t) is tan(t) + 2.

As a result, r(t) = (e^t +1, -cos(t) + 3, tan(t) + 2).
