population after 5, 10 and 20 years.

c. Explain why the table shows exponential decay. Summarize how scientists
can use exponential decay to predict population changes in endangered
species. Summarize your answer in 1-2 paragraphs.

Answers

Answer 1

An exponential function can either represent population growth or population decay

How to model the population

The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.

However, the following is a general guide to solve the question.

An exponential function is represented as:

[tex]y=a(1 \pm r)^x[/tex]

Where:

(a) represent the initial value i.e. the initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas (r) represents the rate at which the population increases or decreases.(x) represents the number of years since 2022(y) represents the population in x years

Given that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases, then the rate of the function would be 1 -r (i.e. an exponential decay)

Take for instance:

[tex]y = 20000 * 0.98^x[/tex]

By comparison.

a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98

The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

The Recreation CPI index number was 93.0 in 1994 and 95.6 in 1995. What was the
percent increase in the prices of recreation goods and services for 1995, to the nearest tenth percentage?

Answers

Answer:

2.7957

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate percentage increase we- the final value by the starting value so in 1994 we have 93 and in 1995 we have 95.6.

95.6 - 93 = 2.6

We then divide 2.6 by the absolute value of value 1(93) so 2.6 divided by 93=0.02795698924

Then use a calculator if you would like you don't have to but times that answer 0.02795698924 by 100. and you get the percent increase.

0.02795698924 x 100=2.7957.

The wind speed near the center of a tornado is represented by the equation S=93logd+65, where d is the distance, in miles, that the tornado travels and S is the wind speed, in miles per hour.

If the wind speed was 150 miles per hour, how many miles did the tornado travel? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

please, be careful when writing the problem definition.

the formula is as I understand it from the definition

S = 93×log(d) + 65

with log being truly the logarithm to the base 10.

so, we have

150 = 93×log(d) + 65

85 = 93×log(d)

log(d) = 85/93

d = 10^(85/93) = 10^(0.913978495...) =

= 8.203109232... ≈ 8.2 miles

the tornado had traveled 8.2 miles.

The required tornado traveled about 8.2 miles to achieve a wind speed of 150 miles per hour.

To find the distance (d) that the tornado traveled when the wind speed (S) was 150 miles per hour, we need to solve the given equation for d.

The equation representing the relationship between wind speed (S) and distance (d) is:

S = 93 * log(d) + 65

We are given that S = 150, so we can substitute this value into the equation:

150 = 93 * log(d) + 65

Now, let's solve for log(d):

93 * log(d) = 150 - 65

93 * log(d) = 85

Now, divide both sides by 93:

log(d) = 85 / 93

Next, find the antilog of both sides to solve for d:

[tex]d = 10^{85 / 93}[/tex]

Using a calculator, we get:

[tex]d = 10^{0.91397849462}[/tex]

  ≈ 8.2

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the tornado traveled approximately 8.2 miles.

So, the tornado traveled about 8.2 miles to achieve a wind speed of 150 miles per hour.

PLEASE HELP!! Multiple Choice 1. Calculate the slant height for the given cone. Round to the nearest tenth (11 Diameter = 8 cm Height = 9 cm O 10.2 cm O 11.4 cm 09.8 cm O 12.0 cm​

Answers

Answer: 9.8 cm

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

Explanation:

Refer to the figure below.

The cone has a circle at the base which has a diameter of 8 cm. This cuts in half to 4 cm, and that's the radius. This forms the horizontal leg of the right triangle highlighted in red.

The vertical leg of the triangle is the height of the cone (9 cm).

---------

Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle, which is exactly the slant height.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 9^2 = c^2

16 + 81 = c^2

97 = c^2

c^2 = 97

c = sqrt(97)

c = 9.84886

When rounding to one decimal place, we get 9.8 cm which is the final answer.

A certain region of America with over 500,000 households has a mean household income of $70,000 with a standard deviation of $20,000. Economists plan to take random samples of 625 households and calculate the sample mean income -x for each sample.

Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of -x.

Answers

The mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x are given as follows:

Mean: $70,000.Standard deviation: $800.

How to obtain the mean and the standard deviation?

The mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x are obtained using the Central Limit Theorem.

The mean is the same as the population mean, hence it is given as follows:

$70,000.

The standard deviation is given by the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, hence:

20000/25 = $800.

(as 25 is the square root of 625).

round 5.1249 to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer:

5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenth's place is the first digit after the decimal. For rounding if the number behind your specific place is greater than or equal to 5, you round it up one number, if it is below 5 the number stays the same.

Example:

If I want to round 6.68 to the tenth's place since the 8 is greater than five, my 6 goes up one number and we get rid of the other numbers. Therefore it would be 6.7

If I want to round 6.64 to the tenth's place since the number is not greater than or equal to five, the number stays the same and we get rid of the others. Therefore it would be 6.6

In your case of 5.1249, we only look at the number after the tenth's place to check if it is greater than or equal to five, which it is not, which is why we do not round up, giving us 5.1.

Two of the sides are l*w

Two of the sides are w*h

and two of the sides are l*h

This gives us equations of 2*(20*14), 2*(14*10), and 2*(20*10)

simplify that to 2*280, 2*140, and 2*200. Then you simplify that to,
