Biologists notice an alarming trend in the walleye population in Lake Erie. Despite efforts, the population is decreasing by 15% each year. They estimate the walleye population was 26 million at the beginning of the current year. Write a sequence that lists the population for the first 4 years using 26 million as the first term.



Walleye populations are considered to be in a rehabilitation state when they are between 15 and 20 million. In what year will the population reach this level? In addition to a harvest restriction, what intervention could be used?


Using the formula [tex]s_n = \frac{a^1 - a^1 (1 + r)^n}{1-(1+r)}[/tex] the sum of the population for the first 10 years? Remember it is decreasing by 15% each year!!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

The population for the first four years are;

Year 1; 26,000,000,

Year 2; 22,100,000

Year 3;  18,785,000

Year 4; 15,967,250

Part B

i)The third year

ii) Provision of spawning environment and the reduction of predators

Part C

The population after 10 years is approximately  139,208,436

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given parameters are;

The rate at which the population is decreasing = 15%

The population of the walleye at the beginning of the current year, P = 26 million

Therefore, we have;

The population of subsequent year = 0.85 × The population of the current year

Therefore, we have a geometric series, with a first term, a = 26 million, and a common ratio, r = 0.85, given as follows;

aₙ = a + ar + ar² + ...

Therefore the first 4 years using 26 million as the first term are;

a₁ = 26 × 10⁶  

a₂ = 26 × 10⁶ × 0.85 = 22,100,000

a₃ = 26 × 10⁶ × 0.85² = 18,785,000

a₄ = 26 × 10⁶ × 0.85³ = 15,967,250

The population for the first four years are;

26,000,000, 22,100,000, 18,785,000, 15,967,250

Part B

i) Given that the walleye population are considered to be in rehabilitation state when they are between 15 and 20 million, we have;

The population in the third year = 18,750,000 < 20,000,000

Therefore, the population enters rehabilitation state in the 3rd year

ii) Other intervention method includes provision of a adequate environment for spawning and the removal of predators

Part C

The formula for the sum of the geometric progression is presented as follows;

[tex]S_n = \dfrac{a^1 - a^1 \cdot (1 + r)^n}{1 - (1 + r)}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

[tex]S_n = \dfrac{26 - 26 \cdot (1 - 0.15)^{10}}{1 - (1 - 0.15)} = 139.208436581[/tex]

The population after 10 years, Sₙ = 139.208436581 × 10⁶ ≈ 139,208,436

find an ordered pair of 5x + y = 3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find an ordered pair that satisfies the equation 5x + y = 3.  

There are infinitely many ordered pairs that satisfy this equation.

If we were to choose y = 0, then 5x = 3, and x = 3/5, leading to the ordered pair (3/5, 0).

If we were to choose x = 1, then 5(1) + y = 3, or y = -2.  The ordered pair would be (1, -2).

Which statement about f(x) = x^2 + 16x + 3 is true

A. The function has a maximum value of 3
B. The function has a maximum value of 16
C. The function has a minimum value of -8
D. The function has a minimum value of -61

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic function in standard form

f(x) = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

• If a > 0 then minimum value

• If a < 0 then minimum value

For

f(x) = x² + 16x + 3

a = 1 > 0 then f(x) has a minimum value

The minimum is the value of the y- coordinate of the vertex.

The x- coordinate of the vertex is

[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

Here a = 1 and b = 16 , then

[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{16}{2}[/tex] = - 8

To find the y- coordinate of the vertex, substitute x = - 8 into f(x)

f(- 8) = (- 8)² + 16(- 8) + 3 = 64 - 128 + 3 = - 61

Thus the function has a minimum value of - 61 → D

The question is asking you to make the coordinates negative and then multiply the negative numbers by 2, thus, -6, -10.

What is an ordered double?

It is defined as a representation of coordinates in a two-dimensional coordinate plane. It has a list of two elements in it, such as (x, y).

We have:

-2(x, y)  →  (3, 5)

The coordinate (x, y) changes after multiplication by factor 2

New coordinate = (3, 5)

-2x = 3

x = -3/2

-2y = 5

y = -5/2

Thus, the coordinate of (x, y) is (-3/2, -5/2) if the -2(x, y) → (3, 5) option second is correct.
