A population of beetles are growing according to a linear growth model. The initial population (week 0) is

P0=6, and the population after 8 weeks is P8=86 Find an explicit formula for the beetle population after n weeks.

After how many weeks will the beetle population reach 236?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 is 28.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quantity starts at size P₀ and grows by d every time period, then the

quantity after n time periods can be determined using explicit form:

[tex]P_{n} = P_{0} + d \cdot n[/tex]

Here,

d = the common difference, i.e. the amount  that the population changes each time n is increased by 1.

In this case it is provided that the original population of beetle was:

P₀ = 6; (week 0)

And the population after 8 weeks was,

P₈ = 86

Compute the value of d as follows:

[tex]P_{8} = P_{0} + d \cdot 8\\86=6+8d\\86-6=8d\\80=8d\\d=10[/tex]

Thus, the explicit formula for the beetle population after n weeks is:

[tex]P_{n}=P_{0}+8n[/tex]

Compute the number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 as follows:

[tex]P_{n}=P_{0}+8n\\\\236=6+8n\\\\8n=236-6\\\\8n=230\\\\n=28.75[/tex]

Thus, the number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 is 28.75.

Answers

Answer:

160 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2l+2w

P=2(3w-8)+2(w)

432=2(3w-8)+2(w)

432=6w-16+2w

432=8w-16

432+16=8w

448=8w

w=448/8

w=56yards

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first statement is false because the price for 10 gallons is about $37 from the graph. Using this same reasoning, the third statement is also false. The last statement doesn't make sense because the graph has nothing to do with the amount of miles driven. Therefore, the answer is the second statement. We can prove it by looking at the point (4, 15). This means that it costs $15 for 4 gallons, so then the price for one gallon will be 15 / 4 = $3.75.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y= -x - 6 and that passes through the point (-9, -4).

y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slope is opposite inverse so the perpendicular slope to -1x would be 1x

Then find b in y=mx+b

Plug in all the number

y=-9

x=-4

m=1

So, -4=1(-9)+b

1×-9=-9

+9 to both sides

5=b

A study of the effect of smoking on sleep patterns is conducted. The measure observed is the time, in minutes, that it takes to fall asleep. These data are obtained:
Smokers: 69.3 56.0 22.1 47.6 53.2 48.1 52.7 34.4 60.2 43.8 23.2 13.8
Non-Smokers: 28.6 25.1 26.4 34.9 28.8 28.4 38.5 30.2 30.6 31.8 41.6 21.1 36.0 37.9 13.9
Which group having greater value of relative dispersion and why?

Answers

Answer:

The group that has greater value of relative dispersion is the smokers group, as the coefficient of variationof their data is bigger than the coefficient of variation of the non-smokers group data.

CV smokers: 0.387

CV non-smokers: 0.234

Step-by-step explanation:

We will calculate the relative dispersion of each data set with its coefficient of variation (ratio of the standard deviation to the arithmetic mean).

Then, first we calculate the mean and standard deviation for the smokers data:

Mean: 43.7

Standard deviation: 286.5

[tex]M_s=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M_s=\dfrac{1}{12}(69.3+56+22.1+47.6+53.2+. . .+13.8)\\\\\\M_s=\dfrac{524.4}{12}\\\\\\M_s=43.7\\\\\\s_s=\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M_s)^2\\\\\\s_s=\dfrac{1}{11}((69.3-43.7)^2+. . . +(13.8-43.7)^2)\\\\\\s_s=\dfrac{3152}{11}\\\\\\s_s=286.5\\\\\\[/tex]

The mean and standard deviation for the non-smokers is:

Mean: 30.3

Standard deviation: 50.9

[tex]M_n=\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\,x_i\\\\\\M_n=\dfrac{1}{15}(28.6+25.1+26.4+34.9+28.8+. . .+13.9)\\\\\\M_n=\dfrac{453.8}{15}\\\\\\M_n=30.3\\\\\\s_n=\dfrac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n\,(x_i-M_n)^2\\\\\\s_n=\dfrac{1}{14}((28.6-30.3)^2+. . . +(13.9-30.3)^2)\\\\\\s_n=\dfrac{713.3}{14}\\\\\\s_n=50.9\\\\\\[/tex]

Now, we can calculate the coefficient of variation:

CV smokers:

[tex]CV_s=\dfrac{s_s}{M_s}=\dfrac{16.9}{43.7}=0.387[/tex]

CV non-smokers:

[tex]CV_n=\dfrac{s_n}{M_n}=\dfrac{7.1}{30.3}=0.234[/tex]

A grocery store has a discount of 13% off hand soap. At the same time the hand soap manufacturer has a coupon for $2.00 off. Assuming both promotions can be applied at the same time how much more would you pay if you applied the coupon first?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\$0.26[/tex] has to be paid more if the coupon is applied first

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A grocery store has a discount of 13% off hand soap. At the same time the hand soap manufacturer has a coupon for $2.00 off.

To find: how much more would be paid if the coupon is applied first

Solution:

Let $ x denotes cost of hand soap

Case 1:

If the discount is given first,

cost of hand soap = [tex]x-\frac{13}{100} x=\$ \frac{87}{100}x[/tex]

If the coupon for $2.00 off is applied,

Final cost of the hand soap = [tex]\$\,(\frac{87}{100}x-2)[/tex]

Case 2:

If the coupon for $2.00 off is applied first,

cost of hand soap = [tex]\$(x-2)[/tex]

If the discount is given then,

final cost of the hand soap = [tex](x-2)-\frac{13}{100}(x-2)=\frac{87}{100}(x-2)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{87}{100}x-\frac{87}{50}[/tex]

Here,

[tex]\frac{87}{100}x-\frac{87}{50}-\frac{87}{100}x+2=\frac{13}{50}=\$0.26[/tex]

So, [tex]\$0.26[/tex] has to be paid more if the coupon is applied first.

During your journey, you develop an abscessed tooth and have to visit the dentist. You are prescribed an antibiotic with a dosage of 7.5 mg/kg every six hours. If you weigh 128 pounds and the antibiotic comes in 250 mg tablets, how many tablets should you take each day?

Answers

Answer:

I should take 10.44 tablets in a day, approximately 10.5 tablets.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to convert the weight from pounds to kilograms, to do that we need to divide it by 2.205.

[tex]w = \frac{128}{2.205}\\w = 58.05 \text{ kg}[/tex]

Since I need to take 7.5 mg per kg of body weight, then in order to find the dosage we need to multiply the weight in kg by 7.5.

[tex]\text{dosage} = 58*7.5 = 435 \text{ mg}[/tex]

Since I need to take it every six hours and there are 24 hours in a day, we will have to take 4 dosages in a day, therefore we need:

[tex]\text{dosage(day)} = 435*6 = 2,610 \text{ mg}[/tex]

The antibiotic comes in 250 mg in tablets, therefore the number of tablets is:

[tex]tablets = \frac{2610}{250} = 10.44[/tex]

I should take 10.44 tablets in a day, approximately 10.5 tablets.

They are reflections of each other across the y-axis B. They are reflections of each other across the x-axis C. The graphs are not related D. They are reflections of each other over the line x = y

Answers

Answer:

Option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

We choose a point from table of f(x), that is (-2, -31)

1). If this point is reflected across x-axis, rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (x, -y)

That means y coordinate of the point gets changed with opposite notation.

If (-2, -31) is reflected over the x-axis,

(-2, -31) → (-2, 31) ----------(1)

2). When a point is reflected over the y-axis,

Rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (-x, y)

(-2, -31) → (2, -31) ----------(2)

3). When a point is reflected over the line y = x

Rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (y, x)

(-2, -31) → (-31, -2) -----------(3)

By comparing f(x) and g(x) we find the relation between the functions as,

f(-2, -31) → g(2, -31)

Rule between the functions f and g matches with the rule number (2).

Therefore, function 'f' has been reflected across y axis to get the function 'g'.

Option (A) will be the answer.

The sum of two numbers is odd. Can the quotient of the two numbers be an odd number?

Answers

Answer: No.

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that here we have the statement:

If the sum of two numbers is odd----> can their quotient be an odd number?

first, for n an integer number, we have that:

an odd number can be written as 2n + 1

an even number can be written as 2n.

The sum of two numbers is only odd if one of them is odd and the other even.

Then we have a number that is 2n and other that is 2k + 1, for n and k integer numbers.

Now, let's see if the quotient can also be an odd number.

One way to think this is:

There is an odd number such that when we multiply it by another odd number, the result is an even number?

no, and i can prove it as:

let 2k + 1 be an odd number, and 2j + 1 other.

the product is:

(2k + 1)*(2j + 1) = 2*(2*k*j + k + j) + 1

and as k and j are integers, also does 2*k*j + k + j, so:

2*(2*k*j + k + j) + 1 is an odd number.

This says that the product of two odd numbers is always odd, then we never can have that the quotient between an even number and an odd number is odd.
