One species of fish in a fishery had an initial population of 255 fish and grew by 25 fish each season. A second species that wa

s being overfished started with an initial population of 450 fish, and then decreased by 40 fish each season. Assuming a linear change, write equations for the populations of each species. When will the two populations have the same amount of fish? After how many seasons will the second species be eliminated?

Answer:

a) during the 3rd season the populations will be the same

b) after 11 1/4 seasons the second species of fish will be eliminated

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  y = 25x + 255

2) y = -40x + 450

the above linear equations model the statements from the problem

we can find out when the two populations will have the same amount by graphing them and finding the point of intersection or by setting them equal to each other:

25x + 255 = -40x + 450

add 40x to each side to get:

65x + 255 = 450

subtract 255 from each side to get:

65x = 195

x = 195/65

x = 3

To find the season when the second species is eliminated we can use the second equation and set 'y' equal to zero and solve for 'x':

0 = -40x + 450

subtract 450 from each side to get:

-450 = -40x

x = -450/-40

x = 11.25

your local gas stations are having a price war during the past seven days they have lowered the price of regular gas by $0.2 eac
Serga [27]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let x denotes the number of days and y denotes the total change in gas price ( in dollars).

Given : During the past seven days the price of regular gas is decreased by $0.2 each day.

Rate of decrease =$0.2 per day

Then , Total change in gas price = Rate of decrease x Number of days

i.e.y= 0.2 \times x

i.e. y=0.2x         (1)

To find the total change in gas price in 7 days , we put x= 7 in (1) , we get

y=0.2(7)=1.4    

Hence, the total change in gas price in 7 days = $1.4

mars1129 [50]

ANSWER

30 students

EXPLANATION

The cost per student varies inversely as the number of students.

Inverse proportion is written as:

\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ y=\frac{k}{x} \\ \text{where k = constant of proportionality} \end{gathered}

Let the cost per student be y.

Let the number of students be x.

It will cost each student $250 if 24 students attend. This means that:

\begin{gathered} 250=\frac{k}{24} \\ \Rightarrow k=250\cdot24 \\ k=6000 \end{gathered}

If the cost is down to $200, it means that y is now $200.

That is:

\begin{gathered} 200=\frac{6000}{x} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{6000}{200} \\ x=30\text{ students} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 30 students could attend.
