help me plz it will be on the exam! Pedro and Bobby each own an ant farm. Pedro starts with 100 ants and says his farm is growing exponentially at a rate of 15% per month. Bobby starts with 350 ants and says his farm is steadily decreasing by 5 ants per month.
Assuming both boys are accurate in describing the population of their ant farms, after how many months will they both have approximately the same number of ants?

Answers

Answer 1
After approximately 8.5 months they will have the same number of ants. But this answer is only approximate not exact, keep that in mind. The numbers that would be closer to exact (but not exact) would be 9 months for bobby and 8 months for pedro. because bobby would have 305 ants after 9 months and pedro would have 305.90228625390614 after 8 months. hope i helped.
Answer 2

Final answer:

To find the month when Pedro's exponentially growing ant farm and Bobby's linearly decreasing ant farm have the same number of ants, we set the exponential growth formula equal to the linear decrease formula and solve for the number of months, using graphical or numerical methods.

Explanation:

We need to determine after how many months Pedro's exponentially growing ant farm will have the same number of ants as Bobby's linearly decreasing ant farm.

Let's denote the number of months as m. Pedro's ant farm starts with 100 ants and grows at a rate of 15% per month, so the population at month m is PPedro = 100 × (1 + 0.15)m.

Bobby's ant farm starts with 350 ants and decreases by 5 ants per month, so the population at month m is PBobby = 350 - 5m.

We need to find the month m where PPedro is approximately equal to PBobby. This can be solved by equating and solving the two expressions:

100 × (1 + 0.15)m ≈ 350 - 5m

To solve this, we can use either graphical methods or numerical methods such as iterative approximation, since an exact solution may not be possible through algebraic methods. We are looking for the value of m that makes both sides approximately equal.

How many people lost their jobs when minimum wage increased from $12 to $18?

Answers

According to your graph, 15 people lost their jobs. y and x axis

Answer:      

15 people lost their jobs when minimum wage increased from $12 to $18

Step-by-step explanation:

When the minimum wage is $12

Then by looking at the given graph :

Number of labors supplied = 33

Number of labors in demand = 33

So, it is an equilibrium wage for the system.

Now, when the minimum wage increased from $12 to $18

From the given graph :

Number of labors supplied = 45

Number of labors in demand = 18

⇒ Number of labors working when wage is $12 = 33

And when the wage is $18, no. of labors working or are in demand = 18

⇒ Number of workers who lost their job = 33 - 18 = 15

Hence, 15 people lost their jobs when minimum wage increased from $12 to $18

Find the real roots of the equation x^4-5x^2-36=0

Answers

Treat x^4 as the square of p:  x^4 = p^2.

Then x^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0 becomes p^2 - 5p - 36 = 0.

This factors nicely, to (p-9)(p+4) = 0.  Then p = 9 and p = -4.

Equating 9 and x^2, we find that x=3 or x=-3.
Equating -4 and x^2, we see that there's no real solution.

Show that both x=3 and x=-3 are real roots of x^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0.

The answer is 512in^3

we know that

The volume of the ball (sphere) is equal to

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]V=4.19\ in^{3}[/tex]

Find the radius of the sphere

[tex]r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}[/tex]

Substitute the value of V

for the calculation of the total volume I will assume that each ball is a cube

The volume of each ball is

[tex]V=b^{3}[/tex]

where

b is the diameter of the ball

[tex]b=1*2=2\ in[/tex]

Substitute  

[tex]V=2^{3}=8\ in^{3}[/tex] ------> volume of each ball in the shape of cube

Samantha is planting a garden in her backyard that is going to be 600 square inches. She loves tomatoes and wants them to cover 60% of the garden. She then put lettuce in 1/3 of what was left. The remaining part of her garden was used for fresh herbs. What is the area of the garden that is fresh herbs?

Answers

60% of 600 :

10% of 600 is 60
60×6=360

so 360 sq inches are used for tomatoes.

600-360=240

240 square inches are left

240/3 = 80 square inches used for lettuce

240-80=160

therefore she uses 160 square inches of garden for fresh herbs! :)

f⁻¹(x) = the quantity of five x minus three, over two

C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]f(x)=\dfrac{2x+3}{5}[/tex]

We need to find inverse of function f(x)

Step 1:  Set f(x)=y

[tex]y=\dfrac{2x+3}{5}[/tex]

Step 2: Switch x and y

[tex]x=\dfrac{2y+3}{5}[/tex]

Step 3: Solve for y (isolate y)

[tex]5x=2y+3[/tex]

[tex]2y=5x-3[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{5x-3}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{5x-3}{2}[/tex]

Now we write as sentence form,

Inverse of f(x) is 5 times of x minus 3 over 2.

Hence, f⁻¹(x) = the quantity of five x minus three, over two

C. $29,500 and $41,000
D. $12,250 and $46,750
E. $12,325 and $81,550

Answers

Part 1:

The z-score of a value, a, given the mean, μ, and the standard deviation, σ, is given by

[tex]z= \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} [/tex]

Thus, given that the average cost per ounce for glass cleaner is 7.7 cents with a standard deviation of 2.5 cents.

The z-score of glass cleaner with a cost of 10.1 cents per ounce is given by

[tex]z= \frac{10.1-7.7}{2.5} = \frac{2.4}{2.5} =\bold{0.96}[/tex]



Part 2:

Assuming the data is normally distribution, the probability that a normally distributed data is between two values a and b is given by

[tex]P(a\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ b)=P(X\ \textless \ b)-P(X\ \textless \ a) \\ \\ =P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{b-\mu}{\sigma} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)[/tex]

Thus, given that a candy bar takes an average of 3.4 hours to move through an assembly line and that the standard deviation is 0.5 hours.

The probability that the candy bar will take between 3 and 4 hours to move through the line is given by

[tex]P(3\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ 4)=P(X\ \textless \ 4)-P(X\ \textless \ 3) \\ \\ =P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{4-3.4}{0.5} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{3-3.4}{0.5} \right)=P(z\ \textless \ 1.2)-P(z\ \textless \ -0.8) \\ \\ =0.88493-0.21186=\bold{0.6731}[/tex]



Part 3

Given that the average noise level in a diner is 30 decibels with a standard deviation of 4 decibels.

The value for which the noice level is below 99% of the time is the value for which the probability that the noice level is below that value is 0.99.

Assuming the data is normally distribution, the probability that a normally distributed data is less than a value, a, is given by

[tex]P(X\ \textless \ a)=P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)[/tex]

Thus, given that the average noise level in a diner is 30 decibels with a standard deviation of 4 decibels.

The value for which 99% of the time, the noise level is below is obtained as follows:

[tex]P(X\ \textless \ a)=0.99 \\ \\ \Rightarrow P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-30}{4} \right)=P(z\ \textless \ 2.33) \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{a-30}{4}=2.33 \\ \\ \Rightarrow a=4(2.33)+30=\bold{39.32}[/tex]

Note: there is standard deviation value was omitted in the question post but I used 4 as my standard deviation. So you can substitute the appropriate standard deviation for you question.



Part 4:

From the empirical rule, it is known that for a normally distributed data that 95% of the data are within 2 standard deviations.

Thus, given that the mean income per household in a certain state is $29,500 with a standard deviation of $5,750.

The values between which 95% of the incomes lies is obtained as follows:

[tex]95\% \ of \ the \ data \ lies \ between \ \mu\pm2\sigma=\$29,500\pm2(\$5,750) \\ \\ =\$29,500-\$11,500 \ and \ \$29,500+\$11,500=\bold{\$18,000 \ and \ \$41,000}[/tex]

Final answer:

The student's questions involve calculating z-scores and applying knowledge of normal distributions to determine probabilities and percentile ranges within a set of data. Correct answers include finding the z-score for glass cleaner costs, determining the probability of assembly line time for a candy bar, identifying the noise level not exceeded 99% of the time in a diner, and calculating the income range for the middle 95% in a state.

Explanation:

To solve these problems related to standard normal distribution and probabilities, we'll follow a step-by-step process. For each question, you'll either need to calculate a z-score or apply knowledge of normal distributions.

The z-score for a glass cleaner costing 10.1 cents per ounce when the mean cost is 7.7 cents and the standard deviation is 2.5 cents is calculated as: z = (10.1 - 7.7) / 2.5 = 0.96. The correct answer is A.The probability of a candy bar taking between 3 and 4 hours through the assembly line involves finding the area under the normal curve between these two z-scores: z for 3 hours and z for 4 hours. Use z-tables or calculators to find P(3 < X < 4) = P(Z < (4 - 3.4) / 0.5) - P(Z < (3 - 3.4) / 0.5) which gives us C. 0.6731.To find the noise level that is not exceeded 99% of the time, use the z-score that corresponds to 99% in the standard normal distribution and multiply by the standard deviation and add to the mean. This gives us 43.96 decibels, with D being the correct answer.The middle 95% of normally distributed incomes is found using z-scores that correspond to the 2.5th percentile and 97.5th percentile because 95% is in between. The correct answer is A. $18,000 and $41,000.

The typical flight of stairs has 12 steps. Billy is on a new fitness regimen that requires him to climb at least 300 steps each day. His fitness tracker says he has already climbed 175 steps.

If Billy climbs 10 more flights of stairs, will he meet his required 300 steps?


Answers

300(at least or < + =)12n+175
and No because he would have only climbed 295 steps.
Your minimum of steps is 300, and you have already have climbed 175 steps.

You would base your equation as 300 ≤ n + 175.

But, you need to fix the equation on one unit. Let's go with the stairs route.

If he goes up 10 more flights, you can multiply the amount of steps per flight (12) by the amount of flights (10).

10 × 12 = 120

So, you need to figure out if 300 ≤ 120 + 170 is a true statement. Solving it would be adding 120 to 170.

120 + 170 = 290

Well, 300 is not ≤ 290, so the answer would be no, he wouldn't reach his goal.
