Answer: 81

Step-by-step explanation: The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. Write all of the numbers and cross out a even amount of numbers on both sides. Image 1 shows your problem. If your problem had another number, you solve it differently. Check image 2.

A biologist is studying the elk population in a county park. She starts with only 2 elk and observes that the number of elk trip

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The expression that represents the population of elk is: $\text{elk}(t) = 2*3^t$ . It'll take 6 years for the population to reach 1,458 individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of elks triples every year and starts at $\text{elk}(0) = 2$ , then after the first year the population will be:

$\text{elk}(1) = \text{elk}(0)*3 = 2*3$

While on the second year, it'll be:

$\text{elk}(2) = \text{elk}(1)*3 = 2*3*3 = 2*3^2$

On the third year:

$\text{elk}(3) = \text{elk}(2)*3 = 2*3^2*3 = 2*3^3$

And so on, therefore the expression that describes the population of elk as the years passes is:

$\text{elk}(t) = 2*3^t$

If we want to know the number of years until the population reach 1,458 elk, we need to apply this value to the left side of the equation and solve for t.

$1458 = 2*3^t\\3^t = \frac{1458}{2}\\3^t = 729\\ln(3^t) = ln(729)\\t*ln(3) = ln(729)\\t = \frac{ln(729)}{ln(3)} = 6$

The population will reach 1,458 elk in 6 years.

Answer:

the removal discontinuity of the following function at x=-6 or x=6.

Step-by-step explanation:

factoring f(x) = (x - 6)(x + 6)

----------------

One satellite is scheduled to be launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, and another launching is scheduled for Vandenberg Air

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$P(A) = 0.45$

$P(B) = 0.32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(A) > P(B)$

$P(A\ u\ B) = 0.626$

$P(A\ n\ B) = 0.144$

Required

Find P(A) and P(B)

We have that:

$P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B)$ --- (1)

and

$P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B)$ --- (2)

The equations become:

$P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B)$ --- (1)

$0.626 = P(A) + P(B) - 0.144$

Collect like terms

$P(A) + P(B) = 0.626 + 0.144$

$P(A) + P(B) = 0.770$

Make P(A) the subject

$P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)$

$P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B)$ --- (2)

$0.144 = P(A) * P(B)$

$P(A) * P(B) = 0.144$

Substitute: $P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)$

$[0.770 - P(B)] * P(B) = 0.144$

Open bracket

$0.770P(B) - P(B)^2 = 0.144$

Represent P(B) with x

$0.770x - x^2 = 0.144$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 - 0.770x + 0.144 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 - 0.45x - 0.32x + 0.144 = 0$

Factorize:

$x[x - 0.45] - 0.32[x - 0.45]= 0$

Factor out x - 0.45

$[x - 0.32][x - 0.45]= 0$

Split

$x - 0.32= 0 \ or\ x - 0.45= 0$

Solve for x

$x = 0.32\ or\ x = 0.45$

Recall that:

$P(B) = x$

So, we have:

$P(B) = 0.32 \ or \ P(B) = 0.45$

Recall that:

$P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)$

So, we have:

$P(A) = 0.770 - 0.32 \ or\ P(A) =0.770 - 0.45$

$P(A) = 0.45 \ or\ P(A) =0.32$

Since:

$P(A) > P(B)$

Then:

$P(A) = 0.45$

$P(B) = 0.32$
