Carl is a biologist studying different types of mammals. He finds in one vally that there are 15 plant-eating mammals for every 2 meat-eating mammals. The total population is about 2,900. Which number is the beat estimate of the population of meat-eating mammals in the valley. * 170 *340 *1,450 * 2,560
Answer: 340
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: There are 15 plant-eating mammals for every 2 meat-eating mammals.
i.e. ratio of meat-eating mammals to plant eating animals = 2:15 or [tex]\dfrac2{15}[/tex]
ratio of meat-eating mammals to total population = [tex]\dfrac{2}{17}[/tex]
Total population: 2,900 (approx.)
The population of meat-eating mammals in the valley = [tex]\dfrac{2}{17}\times2900[/tex]
[tex]\approx341[/tex]
From the given options, the best estimate of the population of meat-eating mammals in the valley = 340
You invited 17 people to your house for a party. You want to spend a $50 gift card completely on the items shown. You also want to have exactly two servings of food for each person. A pizza is $6 for 4 servings, and a bag of chicken wings costs $7 for 5 servings. Write a system of linear equations that represents the situation.
Answer:
6p + 7c = 50
4p + 5c = 34
(where p is the number of pizzas and c is the number of bags of chicken wings)
We need to buy 6 pizzas and 2 bags of chicken wings in order to spend a total of $50, AND for each of the 17 people to have 2 servings of food.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p = number of pizzas
Let c = number of bags of chicken wings
Equation 1
Given:
Pizza = $6Bag of chicken wings = $7Total spend = $50⇒ 6p + 7c = 50
Equation 2
Given:
Pizza = 4 servingsChicken wings = 5 servingsTotal servings needed = 17 × 2 = 34⇒ 4p + 5c = 34
Equation 3
Multiply Equation 2 by 1.5:
⇒ 6p + 7.5c = 51
Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3 and solve for c:
⇒ 0.5c = 1
⇒ c = 2
Substitute found value of c into Equation 2 and solve for p:
⇒ 4p + 5(2) = 34
⇒ 4p + 10 = 34
⇒ 4p = 24
⇒ p = 6
Therefore, we need to buy 6 pizzas and 2 bags of chicken wings in order to spend a total of $50, AND for each of the 17 people to have 2 servings of food.
A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-9, -7) and a directrix of x = 9. Write
the equation of the parabola in any form.
Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, with a vertex at (0 , -7), let's recall the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix.
so this horizontal parabola opens up to the left-hand-side, meaning that the "P" distance is a negative value.
[tex]\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{cases} h=0\\ k=-7\\ p=-9 \end{cases}\implies 4(-9)(x-0)~~ = ~~[y-(-7)]^2 \\\\\\ -36x=(y+7)^2\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{36}(y+7)^2[/tex]

Communicate Mathematical Ideas Find the area of the figure. Explain how you found your answer. 10 ft 16 ft 12 ft 18 ft
I'm confused
Explanation:
The trapezoid has area of
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 6*(10+18)/2
A = 84
The rectangle is 18 ft by 12 ft, which leads to an area of 18*12 = 216 sq ft.
Adding the two sub-areas gets us: 84+216 = 300
The total area of the house-shaped figure is 300 sq ft.

Question:
Mrs. Galacia is building a chicken farm in 2021 with an initial population of 3750 chickens. The farm grows at a rate of 2.15% annually.
Part (a) Use the exponential growth model to write an equation that estimates the population t years after 2021.
Part (b) Estimate the population of the town in 2036. (I was given an extra step here saying, "Must show plug in step before using calculator")
Answer:
[tex]y=3750 \cdot 1.0215^t[/tex]
(where [tex]y[/tex] is the population and [tex]t[/tex] is time in years after 2021)
5159
Step-by-step explanation:
Part (a)
General form of an exponential function: [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]
where:
[tex]a[/tex] is the y-intercept (or initial value)[tex]b[/tex] is the base (or growth factor) in decimal form[tex]x[/tex] is the independent variableIf [tex]b > 1[/tex] then it is an increasing function
If [tex]0 < b < 1[/tex] then it is a decreasing function
We are told that the initial population is 3750. Therefore, [tex]a=3750[/tex]
We are told that the farm grows at a rate of 2.15% annually. Therefore, if it grows then every year it is 100% + 2.15% = 102.15% of the previous year.
Convert the percentage into a decimal:
102.15% = 102.15/100 = 1.0215
Therefore, [tex]b=1.0215[/tex]
We are told that the independent variable is [tex]t[/tex] (in years).
Therefore, the equation is [tex]y=3750 \cdot 1.0215^t[/tex]
(where [tex]y[/tex] is the population and [tex]t[/tex] is time in years after 2021)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b)
The year 2036 is 15 years after 2021. Therefore, substitute [tex]t = 15[/tex] into the equation and solve for [tex]y[/tex]:
[tex]\implies y=3750 \cdot 1.0215^{15}[/tex]
[tex]\implies y=5159.49068...[/tex]
Therefore, an estimate of the population of the town in 2036 is 5159.

Alexa is researching a cure for the coronavirus. She needs 14 test tubes for 4 experiments. The first experiment requires 2 test tubes, and the remainder of the tubes are used evenly over the rest of the experiments. How many test tubes did she use for the last experiment?
Answer:
She used 4 test tubes for the last experiment
Step-by-step explanation:
Total test tubes needed = 14
Experiment 1 = 2 test tubes
Total test tubes remaining = total - used
= 14 - 2
= 12 test tubes
Remaining experiment = 4 - 1
= 3
Test tubes used for the remaining experiment = test tubes remaining / Experiment remaining
= 12 / 3
= 4 test tubes
How many test tubes did she use for the last experiment?
She used 4 test tubes for the last experiment

Answer:
d₃ = 803.9 Miles
Step-by-step explanation:
d₁ = 560 Miles
R₁ = N35⁰E
d₂ = 410 Miles
R₂ = S76⁰E
d₃ = ?
α = 35⁰+76⁰ = 111⁰
We can apply the Law of Cosines as follows
d₃ = √(d₁² + d₂² - 2*d₁*d₂* Cos α)
⇒ d₃ = √(560² + 410² - 2*560*410* Cos 111⁰) = 803.9 Miles
please help quick!! Jane makes house calls. For each, she is paid a base amount and makes additional money for each hour she works. The graph below shows her pay (in dollars) versus the number of hours worked.
Answer: a) $30 b) $50 c) $20 each hour d) No, because the line does not pass through (0,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
What is Jane's pay if she doesn't work any hours? This question means how much money does Jane gets paid for working 0 hours (y-intercept). At 0 hours on the x-axis, the point on the line is $30. This can be written as (0,30)
If she works 1 hour, the point where 1 hour on the x-axis meets with the y-axis is $50 dollars. This can be written as (1,50).
Her pay increase each hour is the slope in this given equation as the starting payment before completing any hours work is $30 and the line increases at a positive rate of change. The slope is y^2-y^1 divided by x^2-x^1, and we have (0,30) and (1,50). Plugging them into the formula, 50-30 divided by 1-0 is 20; the slope is $20 for every 1-hour increase).
And for determining whether b and c are equal, every answer choice includes whether the line passes through the point (0,0). After answering problem c, you should find that your equation is y=20x+30 (20 as the slope and 30 as the y-intercept). As a reminder, b is $50 and c is $20, so you already know it is not the top two answer choices. So to see if it DOES pass through (0,0) you can plug the values into the equation OR graph it. Either way, you will see that (0,0) does not pass through the line and that 0 does not equal 30 (0=20(0)+30).

Jessica runs 2 1/2 miles in 16 1/4 minutes. What is Jessica’s average time per mile in minutes? Enter the correct answer in the box. IF YOU GET IT CORRECTLY AND ANSWER IT FIRST ILL MARK YA BRAINLY If possible EXPLAIN IT.
Answer:
6 1/2 minutes per miles
2/13 miles per minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance travelled = 2 1/2 miles
Time taken = 16 1/4 minutes
Average: minutes per mile
= 16 1/4 minutes / 2 1/2 miles
= 65/4 ÷ 5/2
= 65/4 × 2/5
= 13/2
= 6 1/2
Average time per mile in minutes
= 6 1/2 minutes per mile
Average (miles per minutes)
= 2 1/2 ÷ 16 1/4
= 5/2 ÷ 65/4
= 5/2 × 4/65
= 20 / 130
= 2/13 miles per minutes

Answer:
[tex]x=0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
[tex]-5 - 3(x - 8) = -5x + 19[/tex]
To find the answer expand the equation, add/subtract on both sides, and simplify the expression.
[tex]-5 - 3(x - 8) = -5x + 19[/tex]
[tex]-5-3(x-8)=-3x+19[/tex]
[tex]-3x+19=-5x+19[/tex]
[tex]19-19=0[/tex]
[tex]19-19=0[/tex]
[tex]-3x=-5x[/tex]
[tex]-3x+5x=-5x+5x[/tex]
[tex]-3x+5x=2x[/tex]
[tex]2x=0[/tex]
[tex]2x\div2=x[/tex]
[tex]0\div2=0[/tex]
[tex]x=0[/tex]
Your answer is "x = 0."
Hope this helps.
