Answer:

The correct answer is p = K × x × (m - p) , where K is the constant of proportionality and x is the current population of the habitat.

Step-by-step explanation:

A habitat of prairie dogs can support m dogs at most.

Let us consider the current population of the habitat be x.

Given the condition that the habitat's population, p, grows proportionally to the product of the current population (x) and the difference between m and p.

Thus the proportional equation would look like:

p ∝ x × (m - p)

⇒ p = K × x × (m - p) , where K is the constant of proportionality.

Thus the equation describing the above mentioned relationship is given by the above equation.

Explain how you could write a quadratic function in factored form that would have a vertex with an x-coordinate of 3 and two dis

dem82 [27]

Two distinct roots means two real solutions for x (the parabola needs to cross the x-axis twice)

Vertex form of a quadratic equation: (h,k) is vertex

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

The x of the vertex needs to equal 3

y = a(x-3)^2 + k

In order to have two distinct roots the parabola must be (+a) upward facing with vertex below the x-axis or (-a) downward facing with vertex above the x-axis. Parabolas are symmetrical so for an easy factorable equation make "a" 1 or -1 depending on if you want the upward/downward facing one.

y = (x-3)^2 - 1

Vertex (3,-1) upwards facing with two distinct roots 4 and 2

y = x^2 -6x + 9 - 1

y = x^2 -6x + 8

y = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. y = 1 + sec

masha68 [24]

Using the washer method, the volume is given by the integral

$\displaystyle\pi\int_{-\pi/3}^{\pi/3}\bigg((3-1)^2-((1+\sec x)-1)^2\bigg)\,\mathrm dx=2\pi\int_0^{\pi/3}(4-\sec^2x)\,\mathrm dx$

where 3 - 1 = 2 is the distance from y = 3 to the axis of revolution, and similarly (1 + sec(x)) - 1 = sec(x) is the distance from y = 1 + sec(x) to the axis. The integrand is symmetric about x = 0, so the integral "folds" in on itself, and the integral from -π/3 to π/3 is twice the integral from 0 to π/3.

So the volume is

$\displaystyle2\pi\int_0^{\pi/3}(4-\sec^2x)\,\mathrm dx=2\pi(4x-\tan x)\bigg|_0^{\pi/3}=\boxed{\dfrac{8\pi^2}3-2\pi\sqrt3}$
