A scientist studying insects start with a population of 10. the population triples every hour. how many insects wil there be after 20 minutes​

Answers

Answer 1

The question is asking you to understand that a population which is raised by a common ratio over a certain time period follows an exponential pattern. See:

After 1 hour, the population is 3*10

After 2 hours, the population is 3*3*10

After 3 hours, the population is 3*3*3*10

.....

This can be generalised as a function of t, the time in hours:

f(t) = (3^t) * 10

Since the function determines the population at a given time, it is more prudent to replace f(t) with P, the population after time t:

P = (3^t) * 10

Since 20 minutes is equal to (1/3) hours, t can be substituted for (1/3) in order to calculate the population size after 20 minutes:

P = (3^(1/3)) * 10 = 14.4224957031 ≈ 14

Therefore the population after 20 minutes is 14.

As an inventory manager, you must decide on the order quantity for an item. Its annual demand is 679 units. Ordering costs are $7 each time an order is placed, and the holding cost is 10% of the unit cost. Your supplier provided the following price schedule. Quantity Price per Unit 1 - 100 $5.65 101 - 350 $4.95 351 or more $4.55 What ordering-quantity policy do you recommend

Answers

The ordering-quantity that should be recommended will be 117 units.

How to calculate the order quantity?

The following can be deduced from the information given:

Demand = 679

Ordering cost = 7

Holding cost = 10%

Ordering quantity will be:

= ✓(2 × Demand × Ordering cost / Holding cost)

= ✓(2 × 679 × 7/0.1)

= ✓13580

= 116.53

= 117

Which expression shows the sum of the polynomials with like terms grouped together?

Answers

The expression of the polynomials with like terms grouped together is (c) [-4x²] + 2xy²  + [10x²y + (-4x²y)]

How to group the polynomial by like terms?

We have:

10x²y + 2xy² - 4x² - 4x²y

Collect the like terms

- 4x² + 2xy²  + 10x²y - 4x²y

Put each group in bracket

- 4x² + 2xy²  + [10x²y - 4x²y]

Express as positives

[-4x²] + 2xy²  + [10x²y + (-4x²y)]

Hence, the expression of the polynomials with like terms grouped together is (c) [-4x²] + 2xy²  + [10x²y + (-4x²y)]

Answers

All the blanks have been filled , which proves ultimately that Triangle ABC is a right angled Triangle.

What is Right Angled Triangle ?

A triangle in which one angle is 90 degree is called a Right Angled Triangle.

AB is congruent to DB because segment DE was constructed so that DE = AB , BC is congruent to EF , because segment EF was constructed so that EF = BC , Since Triangle DEF is a right angled triangle .

DE² +EF²  = DF²  by the Pythagoras Theorem .

WE are given that AB²  +BC²  = AC²

Since DE = AB and EF = BC , DE²  +EF²  = AC²  by the given data

Also DF² = AC² by the above equation .

Taking the square root on both the sides of the equation gives DF = AC .

So AC is congruent to DF by the definition of congruency .

Applying SSS Congruency , Triangle ABC is congruent to DEF .Therefore ABC is a right angled triangle.

What is a fraction?

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is:

80 units needed 6 units per case. What are the number of cases and the number of additional units?

Total number of units  = 80 units

6 units per case

Number of case = 80/6 = 13.33 ≈ 13

Total units if the number of cases = 13

= 13×6

= 78


Additional units = 80 - 78 = 2 units

Thus, the number of cases is 13 and the additional units are 2 if the 80 units needed 6 units per case.

If you receive a 25% MARKUP on an item costing $60.00, how much money do you pay in total?

Answers

Answer:

Money Paid in Total  = $45

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the term Mark-up refers to the amount added to the cost price to cover the overheads and realize a profit.

A mark-up percentage is a percentage (%) that is used as a basis to determine the mark-up value.

Given

Cost of an Item = 60$

Markup % = 25% on cost

Hence, Mark up in $ = 60$*25%

                                   = 15$

Therefore, Actual cost of an item = Cost of an item - Mark up on Item

                                                        = 60$ - 15$

                                                         = 45$
