Let
A = population of town A,
B = population of town B,
C = population of town C.

Because the population of town B is 50% greater than that of town A,
B = 1.5A                    (1)

Because the population of town C is 20% greater than that of town A,
C = 1.2A                  (2)

From (1), obtain
A = B/1.5 = (2/3)B        (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
C = 1.2*(2/3)*B = 0.8B
Divide each side by 0.8.
1.25C = B
This result means that B is 25% greater than C.

Answer: 25%

To aid in sea navigation, Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above sea level with an unknown
algol13

Answer:

\approx 6^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above the sea level.

The angle of depression is unknown.

Distance of the point at sea surface from the base of lighthouse is 865 ft.

This situation can be modeled or can be represented as the figure attached in  the answer area.

The situation can be represented by a right angled \triangle ABC in which we are given the base and the height of the triangle.

And we have to find the value of \angle BAD \ or \ \angle C (Because they are the internal vertically opposite angles).

Using tangent ratio:

tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tanC = \dfrac{AC}{BC}\\\Rightarrow tanC = \dfrac{91}{865}\\\Rightarrow tanC = 0.105\\\Rightarrow \angle C \approx 6^\circ

Therefore, the angle of depression is: \approx 6^\circ

A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the populat
marysya [2.9K]
The answer to this question would be:
<span>The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation.
After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.
</span>
In this problem, there are 9,000 bees and the amount is decreased 5% each year. Decreased 5% would be same as become (100%-5%=)95% each year. Then the function should be like:
f(x)= 9,000 * 95%^ x= 9,000 * 0.95^x

If you put X=2 and X=4 the result would be: 
<span>f(2) = 9,000* (0.95)^2= 8122.5 (round up to tenth will be 8120)
</span>f(4) = 9,000* (0.95)^4= 7330.5
