Ginny is studying a population of frogs. She determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. When she began her study, the frog population was estimated at 1,200. Which function represents the frog population after x years?

Answers

Answer 1

The function which represents the frog population after x years will be F(x) = [tex]1200 * (0.97)^{x}[/tex]

The population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year.

For decrease in population, if the rate is decreasing per year is r%, the initial population is P, after time x the equation to use would be:

net decrease = [tex]P * (\frac{100 - r}{100})^{x}[/tex]

r = Reduction

x = time duration

P = 1200

Reduction rate = 100 - 3 = 97%

Reduction rate will be 97% i.e. 0.97

Reduction after one year = 1200 * 0.97

Reduction after two years = 1200 * 0.97 *0.97

                                            = 1200 * (0.97)²

Reduction rate after three years = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 * 0.97

                                                      = 1200 * (0.97)³

therefore,

Reduction rate after x years =  [tex]1200 * (0.97)^{x}[/tex]

The function representing the frog population after x years is F(x) =    [tex]1200 * (0.97)^{x}[/tex]

Explain the similarities and differences between the material derivative and the reynolds transport theorem.

Answers

In Fluid Mechanics, we describe the motion of fluids using two different frames of reference- the Eulerian( fixed frame of reference wrt fluid particles; describes the rate of change of fluid flow property at a fixed position in space) and the Lagrangian (follows individual fluid particles and describes the rate of change of fluid flow properties of the particle as it passes through space).

A Material derivative is basically a Lagrangian way of expressing the rate of change of fluid flow property. It expresses the rate of change of fluid property wrt time and also the rate of change wrt space because of its movement at some velocity. It is best explained by John D Anderson jr. in his book "Computational Fluid Dynamics". He explains that the material derivative can be best understood by considering an example of imagining oneself entering a cold cave. The material derivative is the change in temperature you would feel as if you would just enter into the cave from the outside and precisely at the same time if someone throws snowballs at you. The rate of change of temperature because of your movement into the cave is the rate of change wrt space and that due to the snowball effect would be the rate of change w.r.t time.

Coming to the Reynolds Transport theorem is a powerful tool in fluid mechanics that relates the change in properties of a system to change in properties in a control volume. Since laws of thermodynamics are applicable to a system, the Reynolds transport theorem allows it to be applied to a control volume (fixed or moving, or deformable).

The line of best fit for the given points is:

y = 0.3913x + 39.26

The graph at the end of the answer shows both the scatter plot and the line.

Applying it's concept, taking points (60, 64) and (70,67), the slope of the line is of 0.3.

How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?

To find the equation, we need to insert the entire set of points (x,y) given by the scatter plot in the calculator.

From the table, the points are given as follows:

(60, 65), (53, 59), (44, 57), (61, 61), (70,67).

Inserting these points into the calculator, the line of best fit is given by:

y = 0.3913x + 39.26

The graph at the end of the answer gives both the line and the scatter plot(points without the line).

How to estimate the slope?


Given two points, the slope is given by change in y divided by change in x.

Taking points (60, 64) and (70,67), the slope is given by:

m = (67 - 64)/(70 - 60) = 3/10 = 0.3.

Answers

By elimination, the solution of the system of equations, 2x - 3y = 4 and 2x - 5y = -6, is (19/2 , 5).

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations which includes common variables. To solve system of equations, we must find the value of the unknown variables used in the equations that must satisfy all the equations.

There are three methods that can be used to solve system of equations.

1. Elimination

2. Substitution

3. Graphing

Use the elimination method since subtracting the two equations will eliminate the variable x.

2x - 3y = 4     (equation 1)

2x - 5y = -6    (equation 2)

0x + 2y = 10

y = 5

Substitute the value of y to any of the two equation and solve for x.

2x - 3y = 4     (equation 1)

2x - 3(5) = 4

2x = 4 + 15

2x = 19

x = 19/2

Hence, the solution of the system of equations is (19/2 , 5).

Simplify by combining like terms. 5 f-(5 d-f)

Answers

The simplification by combining like terms of 5f - (5d - f) is 6f -5d.

According to the given question.

We have an expression 5f - (5d - f).

As we know that, like terms are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. When we combine like terms, such as 2x and 3x, we add or subtract their coefficients.

Since, we have to combine the like terms of the given expression

5f -(5d -f).

Here 5f and -f are the like term.

So, we subtract coeffcients of f to simplify the given expression.

Therefore, the simplification of 5f - (5d -f) is given by

5f - (5d - f)

= 5f - 5d + f

= 6f - 5d

Hence, the simplification by combining like terms of 5f - (5d - f) is 6f -5d.

Answers

A typical shower drain can remove 480 gallons of water in 3 hours.

For the first-rate;

1,440 gallons in 3 hours

We calculate the unit rate.

By Dividing the total volume by the total time,

1440 / 3 = 480 gallons/ hours

For the second rate:

960 gallons in 120 minutes

Converting minutes to hours:

120 minutes = 2 hours

We calculate the unit rate.

By dividing the total volume by the total time,

960 / 2 = 480 gallons / hour

For the third rate:

720 gallons in 1.5 hours

We calculate the unit rate.

By dividing the total volume by the total time,

720 / 1.5 = 480 gallons / hour

Now,

480 gallons/ hour = 480 / 60 gallons/ minute = 80 gallons per minute

∴YZ = 2

ZX = [tex]\sqrt{(6 - 1)^{2} + (6 - 2)^{2} }[/tex]

∴The longest side is ZX = 6.4

Hence, a = XY, b = YZ and c = ZX;

Thus, [tex]c^{2} > a^{2} + b^{2}[/tex]
