Ginny is studying a population of frogs. She determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. When she began her study, the frog population was estimated at 1,200. Which function represents the frog population after x years?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

y = 1200(0.97)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Ginny determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year.

So, this is an exponential decay case

Formula : y = a(1-r)^n

where a is the amount after n years

a is the initial amount

r is the rate of depreciate

n is the number of years

Now we are given that When she began her study, the frog population was estimated at 1,200.

So, a=1200

r = 3% = 0.03

n =x

Substitute the values in the formula:

y = 1200(1-0.03)^x

y = 1200(0.97)^x

Hence function represents the frog population after x years is y = 1200(0.97)^x

Answer 2
Answer: Hello,

x_(0)=1200

x_(1)=(97)/(100)*1200

x_(2)=((97)/(100))^2*1200

x_(3)=((97)/(100))^3*1200
...
x_(n)=((97)/(100))^(n)*1200

Complete the table for the equation of the line y = 3x - 1 X

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of a line expressed as y = 3x-1, we are to find y = f(x) for the following values of x in the table.

If y = 3x-1, then f(x) = 3

When x = -1

f(-1) = 3(-1)-1

f(-1) = -3-1

f(-1) = -4

Hence when x = -1, f(x) = -4

When x = 0

f(0) = 3(0)-1

f(0) = 0-1

f(0) = -1

Hence when x = 0, f(x) = -1

When x = 2

f(2) = 3(2)-1

f(2) = 6-1

f(2) = 5

Hence when x = 2, f(x) = 5

Final answer:

To complete the table for the equation of the line, substitute the given x-values into the equation and solve for y.

Explanation:

To complete the table for the equation of the line y = 3x - 1, we substitute the given x-values into the equation and solve for y. For x = -1, y = 3(-1) - 1 = -4. For x = 0, y = 3(0) - 1 = -1. And for x = 2, y = 3(2) - 1 = 5. Therefore, the completed table is:

Answers

x^2 -25
All I did was divide both and I got the answer.

Answer:  x^2 - 25


Explanation:

Here is a tip/ shortcut to multiplying binomials in the (a + b)(a - b) format.

The only things you have to look for is the factor of a * a and the factor of       b * b.

The reason being, a * -b and b * a cancel each other out no matter what.

For example

1. (x + 5)(x - 5)         Multiply x_(1) by x_(2)

  x * x = x^(2)

2. (x + 5)(x - 5)         Multiply x_(1) by -5 in the second binomial

  x * -5 = -5x

3. (x + 5)(x - 5)        Multiply 5 in the first binomial to x_(2)

  5 * x = 5x

4. (x + 5)(x - 5)        Multiply 5 in the first binomial to -5 in the second binomial

  5 * -5 = -25

5. Now that you have all of your answers, write your equation, in order, to look like this.

x^(2) - 5x + 5x - 25

6. -5x and 5x cancel each other out when combining like terms so you're left with.

x^(2) - 25


In the end, steps 2, 3, 5, and 6. can be taken out by doing this.

Just multiply x_(1) by x_(2) to get x^(2)

Then just multiply 5 in the first binomial to -5 in the second binomial to get -25

Then write your answer.

x^(2) - 25


This works because there is no need for steps 2,3,5, and 6 since they lead to the same outcome from doing steps 1 and 4.

Harrison mows lawns and rakes leaves for his summer and fall weekend jobs. He gets $10 an hour to mow lawns and $8 an hour to rake leaves. If, during September, Harrison mows for m hours and rakes for 12 hours, which expression represents the amount of money he makes

Answers

The expression which represents the amount of money he makes is 10m + 96

How to be write mathematical expression?

  • Amount earned per hour for lawns = $10
  • Amount earned per hour to rake leaves = $8
  • Number of hours mowed = m
  • Number of hours raked = 12 hours

Total amount of money earned = (10 × m) + (8 × 12)

= 10m + 96

Therefore, the expression which represents the amount of money he makes is 10m + 96
