The population of Bengal tigers in a region of India can be modeled by the function P = 450(0.85), where P is the
population and I is the number of years since 2000.
What is the Bengal tiger population in 2000?
and by what percent does the tiger population decrease each year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The population in 2000 is 450

(b) 15% decreases each year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P = 450(0.85)^t[/tex] --- since 2000

[tex]P \to Population[/tex]

[tex]t \to years[/tex]

Solving (a): The population in 2000

First calculate t

[tex]t = 2000 - 2000[/tex] --- years since 200

[tex]t = 0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = 450(0.85)^t[/tex]

[tex]P = 450 * 0.85^0[/tex]

[tex]P = 450 * 1[/tex]

[tex]P = 450[/tex]

Solving (b): Rate of population decrease

A function that decreases is represented as:

[tex]P(t) = a(1 - r)^t[/tex]

Where

[tex]r \to[/tex] rate of decrement

Compare [tex]P(t) = a(1 - r)^t[/tex] and [tex]P = 450(0.85)^t[/tex]

[tex]1- r = 0.85[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]r = 1 - 0.85[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.15[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]r = 15\%[/tex]

A bag contains 6 white marblesw and 4 black marbles.a marble is drawn from the bag and then a second marble is drawn without replacing the first one. what is the probability of drawing a white marble on the first draw and another white marble on the second draw

Answers

Answer:

60.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

60% white, 40% black

The first draw you have a 60% chance drawing a white marble, the second time you have a 55% chance since you already drew one in the first round. so i think it is 60.5%% chance drawing white on both rounds since I add 60+55=121. 121/200=60.5%

Area of figure 2 = 150 square cmWX = 25/6 cm (exact)WX = 4.167 (approximate)

It's not clear which version of WX your teacher wants, so I provided both of them.

============================================================

Explanation:

Focus on the perimeters. The jump from 36 to 30 means the linear scale factor is 30/36 = 5/6

This means,

WX/YZ = 5/6

WX/5 = 5/6

6WX = 5*5

6WX = 25

WX = 25/6 which is exact

WX = 4.167 approximately

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

The linear scale factor is 5/6, so the area scale factor is (5/6)^2 = 25/36.

The area of figure 1 is 216 cm^2, making the area of figure 2 to be 216*(25/36) = 150 cm^2

Line segment TU has endpoints (-7,10) and (-6,-5). What is the length of TU to the NEAREST TENTH?

Answers

Answer: 15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The endpoints of the line segment are [tex](-7,10)\ \text{and}\ (-6,-5)[/tex]

The length of the line segment is given by the distance formula i.e.  

[tex]d=\sqrt{\left( x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left( y_2-y_1\right)^2}[/tex]

Insert the values,

[tex]\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{\left( -6+7\right)^2+\left( -5-10\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{1^2+\left( -15\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{1+225}\\\Rightarrow d=15.0\ \text{units}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of line segment TU is 15 units

The measure of an angle is 2.8.what is the measure of its complementary angle

Answers

Answer:

87.2º

Step-by-step explanation:

Complimentary angles total 90º

c + 2.8 = 90

c = 90 - 2.8

c = 87.2º

Answer:

87.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

When angles are complementary, it means that they both add up to 90°.

In this case, one of the angles measures 2.8°.

So, to find the other one, we subtract 2.8 from 90.

90 - 2.8 = 87.2

The measure of the complementary angle is 87.2°

option A : 7x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = [ Area of bigger rectangle] - [Area of smaller rectangle ]

Therefore, Area of bigger rectangle = length * breadth = (x - 1)(x + 5)

Therefore, Area of smaller rectangle = length * breadth = (x + 1)(x - 4)

Area of shaded region = [(x - 1)(x + 5)] - [(x + 1) ( x - 4)

= [x(x + 5) - 1(x + 5)] - [x(x - 4) + 1( x - 4)]

= [ x^2 + 5x - 1x -5] - [ x^2 - 4x + 1x - 4]

= x^2 + 5x - 1x - 5 - x^2 + 4x - 1x + 4 ....(after removing the brackets)

= x^2 - x^2 + 5x + 4x - 1x - 1x - 5 + 4.....( as (+ x^2 )and (- x^2 )get eliminated due to opposite signs)

= 9x - 2x - 1

= 7x - 1

So, option A: 7x - 1 is the correct answer.
