For an avian research study, scientists wanted to estimate the local robin population. The scientists captured, tagged, and released 55 robins. A week later, they noted 30 tagged robins out of the 300 robins they counted. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the robin population?
Answer: The estimated number of robins in the population is 550
Step-by-step explanation: To estimate the population of robins, we will use the Mark-Recapture technique:
1) Capture a small number of individuals, mark them (with tags or other harmless identification) and release them;
2) After a period of time, catch another group and count the ones who have the mark;
3) Estimate the population using:
[tex]N=\frac{M*C}{R}[/tex]
where
N is the estimate of individuals in the population
M number of individuals marked
C is the total number of individuals captured the second time
R is the number of individuals with the mark recaptured
For the population of robins:
[tex]N=\frac{55*300}{30}[/tex]
[tex]N=\frac{16500}{30}[/tex]
N = 550
The best estimate for the robin population is 550.
Janelle would like to give a party bag to every person who is coming to her party. The cost of the party bag is $7 per person. Write an inequality that describes the number of people P that she can invite if Janelle has No more than $95 dollars to spend on the party bags.
Answer: Inequality that describes the number of people P that she can invite if Janelle has No more than $95 dollars to spend on the party bags: 7P ≤ 95
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The cost of the party bag is $7 per person.
P represents the number of people that she can invite.
Total cost for P people = ( cost per person) x (P)
=$ 7P (i)
If Janelle has No more than $95 dollars to spend on the party bags.
That means , Total cost ≤ $ 95
From (i)
7P ≤ 95 , which is the required inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope equals rise/run. You find one perfect point (-2,0) and another along the line (1,2)
You count how many units up (rise) from the first point to the second point, and then you go over (run) to the second point. Your rise over your run is your slope.
for the graph of g(x) pictured below, over which of the following intervals is g(x) only decreasing?
Answer:
2. -8 < x < -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-values of the line where the line slants downwards before it begins to slant upwards to the right, is the interval at which g(x) is decreasing only.
From the graph, at x = -8, y = -2. When x = -2, y = -5.
Between the intervals of x = -8 and x = -2, g(x) decreased from -2 to -5.
Therefore, the answer is: 2. -8 < x < -2

A school has $15,000 to spend on computer monitors. The school plans to purchase 200 monitors for $89 each. A teacher completes the calculations below and concludes that the school has enough money to buy the monitors. 200 × 89 = (200 × 8) + (200 × 9) = 1,600 + 1,800 = 3,400
Answer:
Since the budget of the school is $15,000, the school does not have enough money to buy the monitors
Step-by-step explanation:
The school plans to purchase 200 monitors for $89 each.
This is the calculation of the teacher
200 × 89 = (200 × 8) + (200 × 9) = 1,600 + 1,800 = 3,400
The teacher's calculation is wrong
The correct calculation using Distributive property is
a(b + c) = ab + ac
200 × 89 = 200(80) + 200(9)
Because 80 + 9 = 89
Hence,
200 × $89 = 16000 + 1800
= $17,800
Since the budget of the school is $15,000, the school does not have enough money to buy the monitors
$17, 800 ≠ $15,000

4. Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-8, 2) and is parallel to the
line 3x – 2y = 12.
Answer:
3x - 2y = - 28
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
3x - 2y = 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
- 2y = - 3x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 2 )
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x - 6 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 8, 2) into the partial equation
2 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 12 = 14
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + 14 ← equation in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 2
2y = 3x + 28 ( subtract 2y from both sides )
0 = 3x - 2y + 28 ( subtract 28 from both sides )
- 28 = 3x - 2y , that is
3x - 2y = - 28 ← equation in standard form

What is the solution to the system of equations?
Answer:
(2, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x + 2y = - 6 → (1)
3x + y = 2 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y
- 6x - 2y = - 4 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
- 5x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
2 + 2y = - 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2y = - 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = - 4
Solution is (2, - 4 )
4. Evaluate the following expression for r= 5.
2(r2 - 8)
Answer:
The expression is equal to 4
Step-by-step explanation:

Describe the transformation
A) translation 2 units down
B) reflection across y=-1
C) reflection across the x-axis
D) across the y-axis
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (6,4) and (4,1)
First, you find the slope.
This is done by plugging in to the equation y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Let 6 and 4 by x2 and y2 and 4 and 1 be x1 and y1.
4-1 / 6-4 = 3/2
The slope is 3/2.
Now, y = 3/2 x +b
To solve for b, plug in a point.
I plugged in (6, 4)
4 = 3/2(6) + b
4 = 9 + b
-5 = b
So, the equation is y = 3/2 x - 5
Hope this helps

A bus and a truck leave a gas station at the same time and are headed to the same destination. If the bus traveled 110 miles in 2 hours, and the truck traveled 180 miles in 3 hours, who is on pace to reach the destination first?
Answer:
The truck is on pace.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find which truck will arrive first, you need to find each vehicle's mph. To get the mph of each vehicle you just need to divide the distance by time.
Bus: 110 (miles) ÷ 2 (hours) = 55 (miles per hour)
Truck: 180 (miles) ÷ 3 (hours) = 60 (miles per hour)
When you do this you can see the mph of the bus is < the mph of the truck.

Which must be present in order for factoring by grouping to apply? - The ratios of the first two terms and the second two terms must be positive. - The ratio of the first two terms must be equivalent to the ratio of the last two terms. - There must be at least three terms. - The first and the last terms must be perfect squares.
Answer:
For factoring by grouping to apply, the ratio of the first two terms must be equal to the ratio of the last two terms
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to select which of the options must be present in order for factoring by grouping to apply.
The correct answer is that the ratio of the first two terms must be equivalent to the ratio of the last two terms
What this mean is that we must have an equal ratio two times
This practically plays out each time we are to factorize quadratic expressions
For example, in the case of
x^2 -12x + 20
This can be written as;
x^2 - 10x - 2x + 20
which can then be written as x(x-10) -2(x -10)
= (x-2)(x-10)
The first two terms have a ratio of ;
x^2/-10x while the last two terms have a ratio -2x/20
Thus, we have -x/10 and -x/10
We can see here that the ratios of both sets are equivalent
Answer:
The ratio of the first two terms must be equivalent to the ratio of the last two terms

I used a calculator
6(x – 1) = 9(x + 2)
Solve
Answer:
x=−8
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x−1)=9(x+2)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6(x−1)=9(x+2)
(6)(x)+(6)(−1)=(9)(x)+(9)(2)(Distribute)
6x+−6=9x+18
6x−6=9x+18
Step 2: Subtract 9x from both sides.
6x−6−9x=9x+18−9x
−3x−6=18
Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.
−3x−6+6=18+6
−3x=24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.
−3x/−3=24/−3
Please help, this is my first time! Here is the question: Maria earned a total of $504 the last two days. She worked 8 hours the first day, 4 hours the second day. How much did Maria earn every hour? Please show how you did it, this is my first time, so please help.
Answer:
$42 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Well,
She got $504 in total
8 + 4 = 12 (the total number of hours worked)
To find out how much she earned per hour you'll need to divide.
$504 ÷ 12
which equals $42
Answer:
Maria earned $42 per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to add the total amount of hours she worked.
8 + 4 = 12
Next, we need to divide 504 and 12 to see how much she earned per hour.
504 ÷ 12 = 42.
So, Maria earned $42 per hour.
