Answer:

$P(t) = 200\cdot 0.95^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

The lion population in a certain reserve drops by 5\%5%5, percent every year. Currently, the population's size is 200200200.

Write a function that gives the lion population size,

Each year, the population drops to 95% of its previous value. (100 - 5)%

That is, the population is multiplied by 0.95 each year.

Repeated multiplication is signified by an exponent.

Here, that exponent is the number of years from today (t).

<h3>There fore, The population function can be written as ...</h3><h3 /><h3> P(t) = 200·0.95^t</h3><h3> $P(t) = 200\cdot 0.95^t$ </h3>

The value of a rare painting has increased each year since it was found at a garage sale. The value of the painting is modeled b

solmaris [256]

799 represents the initial value of the painting

The painting will be worth $926 after 5 years to the nearest dollar

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the exponential function is $f(x)=a(b)^{x}$ , where

a is the initial value ⇒ (at x = 0)
b is the growth/decay factor ⇒ (rate of change)
If b > 1, then the function is growth ⇒ (increasing)
If 0 < b < 1, then the function is decay ⇒ (decreasing)

The value of a rare painting has increased each year since it was

found at a garage sale

The value of the painting is modeled by the function $f(x)=799(1.03)^{x}$

We need to know what 799 represents and what the painting will

be worth after 5 years

∵ $f(x)=799(1.03)^{x}$

∵ The form of the function is $f(x)=a(b)^{x}$

- By comparing the two forms

∴ a = 799 and b = 1.03

∵ a is the initial value at x = 0

∴ 799 represents the initial value of the painting

∵ x represents the number of years

∴ x = 5

- Substitute the value of x in the function by 5

∵ $f(5)=799(1.03)^{5}$

∴ f(x) = 926.26

∴ The painting will be worth $926 after 5 years to the nearest dollar

799 represents the initial value of the painting

The painting will be worth $926 after 5 years to the nearest dollar

Given: BC bisects DBE. Prove: ABD is congruent to ABE

Arada [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

BC bisects <DBE and if AC is a straight line then you have that:

<ABD + <DBC = 180 (straight angle because of line AC)

<ABE + <CBE = 180 ( straight angle because of line AC)

Because BC bisects <DBE => < DBC = <CBE

So <ABD and <ABE must be the same to both sum 180 when added < DBC

The angle Johnny holds his pen on paper creates a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 13x+7. The measure of the second angl

lisov135 [29]

we know that

Angles in a linear pair are supplementary angles

Let

A-------> the first angle

B------> the second angle

$A+B=180\\$ ----> equation $1$

$A=13x+7\\ B=2A-1=B=26x+13$

Substitute the values of A and B in the equation $1$

$13x+7+26x+13=180\\ 39x=180-20\\ x=\frac{160}{39}$

$\frac{160}{39}=4.10\ degrees$

therefore

the answer is

the value of x is $4.10\ degrees$

A major department store chain is interested in estimating the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit

viva [34]

Answer: D) $\$50\pm\$11.08$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 15

sample mean : $\overline{x}=\$50.50$

Sample standard deviation: s= $20

Since population standard deviation is unknown , so we use t-test.

Significance level for 95% confidence : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical t-value : $t_{n-1, \alpha/2}=t_{014,0.025}=2.145$ [Using students' t-value table]

Required 95% Confidence interval :-

$\overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\ =\$50.50\pm(2.145)\dfrac{\$20}{\sqrt{15}}\\\\\approx \$50\pm\$11.08$

Hence, the required 95% confidence interval for the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain's new store in the mall assuming that the amount spent follows a normal distribution.:

$\$50\pm\$11.08$

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply. Please ans

timama [110]

<span>The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the b^2-4ac portion that the square root is taken of. If the discriminant is negative, then the function has 2 imaginary roots, if the discriminant is equal to 0, then the function has only 1 real root, and finally, if the discriminant is greater than 0, the function has 2 real roots. So let's look at the equations and see which have a positive discriminant. f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8 6^2 - 4*1*8 36 - 32 = 4 Positive, so f(x) has 2 real roots. g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 8 4^2 - 4*1*8 16 - 32 = -16 Negative, so g(x) does not have any real roots h(x) = x^2 â€“ 12x + 32 -12^2 - 4*1*32 144 - 128 = 16 Positive, so h(x) has 2 real roots. k(x) = x^2 + 4x â€“ 1 4^2 - 4*1*(-1) 16 - (-4) = 20 Positive, so k(x) has 2 real roots. p(x) = 5x^2 + 5x + 4 5^2 - 4*5*4 25 - 80 = -55 Negative, so p(x) does not have any real roots t(x) = x^2 â€“ 2x â€“ 15 -2^2 - 4*1*(-15) 4 - (-60) = 64 Positive, so t(x) has 2 real roots.</span>
