Answer:
Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, the mosquito population is a function of rainfall and can be approximated by the formula
where x is the number of inches of rainfall.
Differentiating with respect to x
Again differentiating with respect to x
Now we set N'(x)=0
Since at x=30, N''(x)<0, So at x=30, N(x) has maximum value.
Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.
We are given that the angle a is the right angle. So let us work from this.
ab = 12 (the vertical side of the triangle)
bc = 13 (which if drawn can be clearly observed to be the hypotenuse) = the side opposite to angle a
ca = 5 (the horizontal side of the triangle)
Since we are to find for the cosine ratio of angle c or angle θ, therefore:
cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse
cos θ = ca / bc
cos θ = 5 / 13
Check out the attached image below for the illustration of the triangle.
