here are approximately 400 million trees currently growing in the Amazon Rainforest, which covers approximately 5.5 million square kilometers. The rainforest is being cleared at a rate of 20,000 square kilometers per year to make way for new farmland and to harvest wood for building supplies. Before this year, 250,000 square kilometers had already been cleared. A preservation consortium is trying to mitigate the loss of rainforest by planting new trees. They have already planted 3,000 square kilometers of trees and plan to plant 100 square kilometers of trees each year. What are the y-intercepts for each function? What do these y-intercepts represent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  y-intercepts: 250,000 & 3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation represents the trees cleared. The starting/original amount cleared was 250,000.

The second equation represents the trees planted. The starting/original amount planted was 3,000.

here is a question for all :)

Answers

Answer:

The circle on the far left is the sum of 4x + 3y and 2x - y so the answer is 4x + 3y + 2x - y = 6x + 2y. The circle on the far left is the sum of x + 4y and something. To find that "something" we can do 4x + 5y - (x + 4y) = 3x + y which is the value of the bottom right rectangle. This means that the value of the bottom circle is 2x - y + 3x + y = 5x.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

left circle=4x+3y+2x-y=6x+2y

right  bottom rectangle=4x+5y-(x+4y)=4x+5y-x-4y=3x+y

Bottom circle=2x-y+3x+y=5x

For each ordered pair, determine whether it is a solution to the system of equations. y=6x-7 9x-2y=8

Answers

Answer:

x = 2, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

   y=6x-7

   9x-2y=8

can be written as

   (1) 6x - y = 7

   (2) 9x -2y = 8

(2)-2*(1) gives

   9x -2y -12x +2y = 8 - 2*7 = 8 - 14 = -6

   <=> -3x=-6

   <=> x = 6/3=2

and we replace it in (1)

  y = 6*2-7=12-7=5

Step-by-step explanation:

hope its helpful

Answer:

4, 10, and 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 is a composite number because it has more than 2 factors.

The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.

1 is neither prime nor composite.

2, 5 are prime numbers because they only have 2 factors.

4, 10, 20 are composite numbers because they have more than 2 factors.

In a circle of radius 5 miles, the length of the arc that subtends a central angle of 4 radians is how many miles?

Answers

Answer:

The length of the arc is 20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that an arc formed by an angle of 1 radian in a circle of radius of 1 mile will have a length of 1 mile.

If the radius is 5 miles, an arc of 1 radian will have a length of 5 miles.

Then, if the angle is 4 radians, and the radius is 5 miles, we will have an arc length of:

[tex]\text{arc length}=\text {angle} \cdot \text {radius}=4\cdot 5 =20\;\text{miles}[/tex]

The Demon family owns a large grape vineyard in western New York along Lake Erie. The grapevines must be sprayed at the beginning of the growing season to protect against various insects. Two new insecticides have just been marketed: Pernod 5 and Action. To test their effectiveness, three long rows were selected and sprayed with Pernod 5, and three other were sprayed with Action. When the grape ripened, 400 of the vines treated with Pernod 5 and 400 of the vines treated with Action were checked for infestation. The number of infested vines treated with Pernod 5 and Action are 24 and 40 respectively.
At 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action?​

Answers

Answer:

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a significant difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that there is a significant difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2\neq 0

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample 1 (Pernod 5), of size n1=400 has a proportion of p1=0.06.

[tex]p_1=X_1/n_1=24/400=0.06[/tex]

The sample 2, of size n2=400 has a proportion of p2=0.1.

[tex]p_2=X_2/n_2=40/400=0.1[/tex]

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.04.

[tex]p_d=p_1-p_2=0.06-0.1=-0.04[/tex]

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

[tex]p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{24+40}{400+400}=\dfrac{64}{800}=0.08[/tex]

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.08*0.92}{400}+\dfrac{0.08*0.92}{400}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.000184+0.000184}=\sqrt{0.000368}=0.019[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

[tex]z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{-0.04-0}{0.019}=\dfrac{-0.04}{0.019}=-2.085[/tex]

This test is a two-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

[tex]\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(z<-2.085)=0.037[/tex]

As the P-value (0.037) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a significant difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action.

The length of a rectangle is 11 yds more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 63 yd ^2, find the dimentions of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

The length is 18 ydThe width is 3.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = l × w

where l is the length

w is the width

length of a rectangle is 11 yds more than twice the width is written as

l = 11 + 2w

Area = 63 yd²

(11+2w)w = 63

2w² + 11w - 63 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation

( w + 9) ( 2x - 7) = 0

w = - 9 w = 7/2 or 3.5

Since width is always positive w is 3.5 yd

l = 11 + 2(3.5)

l = 11 + 7

l = 18 yd

The length is 18 yd

The length is 18 ydThe width is 3.5 yd

Answers

Answer:

d. 2250.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of mean square due to error (MSE) is shown below:-

Since there are four treatments i.e H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4

And, the SSTR is 6,750

Based on this, the mean square due to error is  

= [tex]\frac{SSTR}{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{6,750}{4-1}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{6,750}{3}[/tex]

= 2,250

Hence, the mean square due to error is 2,250

Therefore the correct option is d.

Find the volume of the region between the planes x plus y plus 2 z equals 2 and 4 x plus 4 y plus z equals 8 in the first octant.

Answers

Find the intercepts for both planes.

Plane 1, x + y + 2z = 2:

[tex]y=z=0\implies x=2\implies (2,0,0)[/tex]

[tex]x=z=0\implies y=2\implies(0,2,0)[/tex]

[tex]x=y=0\implies 2z=2\implies z=1\implies(0,0,1)[/tex]

Plane 2, 4x + 4y + z = 8:

[tex]y=z=0\implies4x=8\implies x=2\implies(2,0,0)[/tex]

[tex]x=z=0\implies4y=8\impliesy=2\implies(0,2,0)[/tex]

[tex]x=y=0\implies z=8\implies(0,0,8)[/tex]

Both planes share the same x- and y-intercepts, but the second plane's z-intercept is higher, so Plane 2 acts as the roof of the bounded region.

Meanwhile, in the (x, y)-plane where z = 0, we see the bounded region projects down to the triangle in the first quadrant with legs x = 0, y = 0, and x + y = 2, or y = 2 - x.

So the volume of the region is

[tex]\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{2-x}\int_{\frac{2-x-y}2}^{8-4x-4y}\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{2-x}\left(8-4x-4y-\frac{2-x-y}2\right)\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx[/tex]

need help asap! what is the value of x given that figure MNOP is a trapezoid with median QR

Answers

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the possible value of x in the given trapezoid MNOP with median QR, recall that one of the properties of a trapezoid is that the median length = ½ of the sum of the length of the parallel bases

Thus, ½ of [x + (3x + 8)] = 20

Let's find x

½*[x + (3x + 8)] = 20

½*[x + 3x + 8)] = 20

½*[4x +8] = 20

Multiply both sides by 2

4x + 8 = 20*2

4x + 8 = 40

Subtract 8 from both sides

4x = 40 - 8

4x = 32

Divide both sides by 4

x = 32/4

x = 8

What warranty should the company use if they want 96% of the tires to outlast the warranty? Round the answer to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer:

61,925 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The p-value of the tires to outlast the were warranty were given in the the question as = 0.96

Checking the normal distribution table, The probability that corresponds to 0.96

from the Normal distribution table is 1.75.

Mean : 'μ'= 60000 miles

Standard deviation : σ=1100

The formula for z-score is given by

: z= (x-μ)/σ

1.75=(x-60000)/1100

1925=x-60000

x=61925

Therefore, the tread life of tire should be 61,925 miles if they want 96% of the tires to outlast the warranty.
