Estimates show that there are 1.4x10^8 pet fish and 9.4x10^6 pet reptiles in the United States. How many pet fish and reptile pe
azamat

Answer:

There are total number of pet fish and reptile pets are 1.49\times 10^8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pet fish are 1.4\times 10^8 and the number of pet reptiles are 9.4\times 10^6.

It is required to find the total number of pet fish and reptile pets in the United States. It can be done by simply adding the above numbers such that total numbers are given by :

T=1.4\times10^{8}+9.4\times10^{6}\\\\T=149400000\\\\T=1.49\times 10^8

So, there are total number of pet fish and reptile pets are 1.49\times 10^8.

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is not complete; find the complete question in the attachment.

In the graph attached,

Parent function is an absolute value function,

f(x) = |x|

When this graph is shifted 4 units left, rule for the translation will be,

f(x) → f(x + 4)

Therefore, the new function of above translation will be,

g(x) = f(x + 4) = |x + 4|

Now the graph is shifted 2 units down so the translated function will be,

h(x) = g(x) - 2

h(x) = |x + 4| - 2

If we rewrite the function in the form of an equation, graph will be represented by

⇒ y = |x + 4| - 2

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

A sand dune stands 5 feet above sea level. The hill is eroding at a rate of 1 foot per 20 years. Let y represent the height of t
sergejj [24]

Answer:

y = 1/20 x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the sand dune after x years be represented by the equation

y = mx+c where;

m is the rate at which the hills is eroding

c is the height of the dunes above the sea

If The hill is eroding at a rate of 1 foot per 20 years,then the rate of eroding per year will be;

1foot = 20years

m = 1year

Cross multiply

20m = 1

m = 1/20 foot/yr...

c = 5foot

Substitute into the formula:

y = 1/20 x + 5

Hence the equation that represent the situation is y = 1/20 x + 5

The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:

R1 = P(1.05)^t,

This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:

$P×1.05^t.

If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:

R2 = $P(1 + 20).

The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;

R1 = R2.

P×1.05^t = P(1+20)

P will cancel out

1.05^t = 21

Log both sides

Log1.05^t = Log21

tLog1.05 = Log21

t = Log21/Log1.05

t = 64 years

The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.
