Answer:
279 silvery minnow
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of Silvery Minnows initially tagged = 54
Number of minnows captured = 62
Number of tagged minnows in captured ones = 12
Remember that in the very beginning there were no tagged minnows. 54 minnows were captured, tagged and released. This means, there are total 54 tagged minnows in the entire population. Lets say there are x number of minnows in total.
So, in x minnows, 54 are tagged ones.
When 62 minnows are captured, only 12 are tagged ones and remaining are un-tagged. Since, the minnows were randomly captured, we can develop a proportion from this case to estimate the total population of minnows in the Rio Grande River.
Ratio of tagged minnows to total population must be equal to the ratio of captured tagged minnows in total captured minnows.
i.e.
This means, there were 279 silvery minnows in the Rio Grande River.
Answer:
The variable c represents the domain as it is the independent variable.
The domain of the function F(c) is given by c ≥ 0.
So, only positive values for the input make sense.
The upper limit of the domain is +∞ and lower limit is 0.
It is not possible for the team to earn $50.50 as it will be only multiple of 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
If F(c) represents the earning of a volleyball team from selling c cupcakes and each cupcake costs $2 each, then the equation that models the situation is
F(c) = 2c ..... (1)
The variable c represents the domain as it is the independent variable. (Answer)
The domain of the function F(c) is given by c ≥ 0. (Answer)
So, only positive values for the input make sense. (Answer)
The upper limit of the domain is +∞ and the lower limit is 0. (Answer)
It is not possible for the team to earn $50.50 as it will be only multiple of 2. (Answer)
The correct answer is C. A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 5, 0, 3. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative 18, negative 2, 10.
Explanation:
The purpose of an equation is to show the equivalence between two mathematical expressions. This implies in the equation "–2 + 4x = y" the value of y should always be the same that -2 + 4x. Additionally, if a table is created with different values of x and y the equivalence should always be true. This occurs only in the third option.
x y
5 -18
0 -2
3 10
First row:
-2 + 4 (5) = y (5 is the value of x which is first multyply by 4)
-2 + 20 = -18 (value of y in the table)
Second row:
-2 + 4 (0) y
-2 + 0 = -2
Third row:
-2 + 4 (3) = y
-2 + 12 = 10
