(Need 3 answers) An entomologist discovered a new insect species. The population of the insect species can be modeled by P(n) =

3,450 · bn, where n is the number of days and b is an unknown positive base.
Based on the model, there were initially ?
insects.

If b = 1.75, the daily percent growth rate of the new insect would be ?
%.

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>According to the model, the equation is:</u>

  • P(n) = 3450*bⁿ

Based on the equation, the initial number of insects is 3450

<u>If b = 1.75, daily growth rate is:</u>

  • 1.75 - 1 = 0.75 = 75%

<u>If  we get P(4) = 55200, find the value of b:</u>

  • 55200 = 3450*b⁴
  • b⁴ = 55200/3450
  • b⁴ = 16
  • b⁴ = 2⁴
  • b = 2

A cone-shaped paper drinking cup is to be made to hold 33 cm3 of water. find the height and radius of the cup that will use the
alekssr [168]
The height and radius that will give us the smallest amount of paper, should have should have the perfect dimension, in that the diameter should be equal to the height. thus let the diameter be x, the height will be x and the radius will be x/2
thus the volume of the cone will be:
V=1/3πr^2h
=1/3*π*(x/2)^2*x
=0.262x^3
hence the value of x will be:
33=0.262x^3
x^3=125.95
x=(125.95)^(1/3)
x=5.0126=5.01 cm
thus the diameter=height=5.01cm
