A wildlife preservation group records the number of squirrels in a city park. The first count recorded is 30 squirrels. A second

count of 60 squirrels is recorded six months later, and 120 squirrels are counted at the end of one year. Assuming that no squirrel dies and the growth rate remains the same, which function represents the number of squirrels after x years? A) f(x) = 30x B) f(x) = 302x C) f(x) = 30(2)x D) f(x) = 30(2)2x

Answer: $f(x)=30\cdot2^{2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A wildlife preservation group records the number of squirrels in a city park.

The first count recorded = 30 squirrels.

A second count of 60 squirrels is recorded six months later, and 120 squirrels are counted at the end of one year.

The growth rate of squirrel= $\frac{120}{30}=4=2^2$

The exponential growth equation is given by :-

$y=Ab^n$ , where A is the initial amount , b is the growth rate and n is the time period.

If the growth rate remains constant, then the function represents the number of squirrels after x years is given by :-

$f(x)=30\cdot(2^2)^x=30\cdot2^{2x}$

Tamiku [17]

Ni : Zn: Cu = 7:2:9 =7x : 2x : 9x

7x+2x+9x = 3.8
18x=3.8
x=3.8/18=1.9/9≈0.21

Ni: 7x=7*0.21=1.47 ≈1.5 kg

EXAMPLE 5 If F(x, y, z) = 4y2i + (8xy + 4e4z)j + 16ye4zk, find a function f such that ∇f = F. SOLUTION If there is such a functi

Valentin [98]

If there is such a scalar function <em>f</em>, then

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=4y^2$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=8xy+4e^{4z}$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=16ye^{4z}$

Integrate both sides of the first equation with respect to <em>x</em> :

$f(x,y,z)=4xy^2+g(y,z)$

Differentiate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=8xy+4e^{4z}=8xy+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}$

$\implies\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=4e^{4z}$

Integrate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :

$g(y,z)=4ye^{4z}+h(z)$

Plug this into the equation above with <em>f</em> , then differentiate both sides with respect to <em>z</em> :

$f(x,y,z)=4xy^2+4ye^{4z}+h(z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=16ye^{4z}=16ye^{4z}+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=0$

Integrate both sides with respect to <em>z</em> :

$h(z)=C$

So we end up with

$\boxed{f(x,y,z)=4xy^2+4ye^{4z}+C}$

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that $\angle 1 \cong \angle 5$ by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like $\angle 1$ and $\angle 5$ .

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, $\angle 3$ and $\angle 1$ are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that $\angle 3$ and $\angle 1$ together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, $m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°$

If we substitute $\angle 5$ for $\angle 1$ , we have $m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°$ , which means that $\angle 3$ and $\angle 5$ are also supplementary by definition.
