Troy studies porcupines and wants to estimate the population in a certain region. Troy catches 36 porcupines, marks them, and releases them. Then later, Troy catches 450 porcupines and observes that 18 of them are marked. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the porcupine population?

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{-8}{3}x - 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for the equation of the line with two points:

Let's remind ourself of the slope - intercept formula:    [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

We first have to find the slope of the line. This is found by using the formula :

[tex]\frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}[/tex]

We have to find the change in y (Δy) and divide it by the change in x (Δx)

We then have to plug in a coordinate given to us, and use the point's x and y value to find the y - intercept

Let's use the slope formula

[tex]\frac{0 - (-8)}{-3 - 0} = \frac{8}{-3}[/tex]

Slope = -8/3

To find the y - intercept, we'll update our slope - intercept formula with the slope, and plugin a point. Let's use (-3,0)

[tex]y = \frac{-8}{3}x + b[/tex]

[tex]0 = \frac{-8}{3}(-3) + b[/tex]

[tex]0 = \frac{24}{3} + b[/tex]

[tex]0 = 8 + b[/tex]

[tex]b = -8[/tex]

Let's input our slope and y - intercept to the equation     [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Slope = -8/3

Y - Intercept = -8

Equation:    [tex]y = \frac{-8}{3}x - 8[/tex]

Answer:

y = x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: (6,9)  (14, 17)

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } = \frac{17-9}{14-6}=\frac{8}{8}=1[/tex]

slope, m = 1

Equation of line ⇒ y=mx+b

y = 9 , x = 6 , m = 1, b = ?

9 = 1*6 + b

9 = 6 + b

b = 9 - 6 = 3

Therefore, the equation of line will be:

y = 1x + 3

y = x + 3

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean 2 the the fourth power, showing 2, with an exponent of 4.

To calculate this, you multiply your base, 2, by itself as many times as the exponent states. Like, 2x2x2x2 because you are multiplying it 4 times by 2.

2x2=4, then 4x2=8, then 8x2= 16.

Using continuous compounding and compound interest, it is found that Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.

Compound interest:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

Continuous compounding:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

The parameters are:

For both of them:

Elizabeth:

Then:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 970\left(1 + \frac{0.06625}{365}\right)^{365(8)}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 1648[/tex]

Matthew:

Then:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 970e^{0.0675(8)}[/tex]

[tex]A(8) = 1665[/tex]

The difference is:

1665 - 1648 = 17

Hence, Matthew would have $17 more than Elizabeth in his account.

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(9, 3) = 9. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 9 × 3 = 27. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - seventeen ninths minus five thirds = two ninths

Answer:

[tex]ax+ay=k; a\ne0, k\ne2a[/tex]; line D in the options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of equations has no solutions if the two lines are parallel. A quick way to create a parallel line is to solve for y, put it in slope-intercept form. Else, as long as the cofficient of x and y are in the same ratio (in this case 1:1), the two lines are parallel, you just have to be careful not to pick the same line again!

The condition [tex]a\ne 0[/tex] makes sure you are still getting lines (else you would get rid of both x and y); the condition [tex]k\ne 2a[/tex] makes sure you're not picking line A again, just written in a different form.

Now that we have the options:

A and C have a different ratio for the coefficient of x and y (2:1 and 1:2) so are not good.

Choice B is just a more complicated way to write the same line, you can see by dividing both sides by 2 and get back x+y=2.

Line D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle BCD ~ triangle EFD so

angle BCD= angle EFD

9x+2=15x-52

6x=54

x=9

angle CBF =9x+2=83°

In the triangle ΔCBD, the angle measure of ∠CBF is 83°.

When the triangles have equal shape, but different sizes. It is called as similar triangles. The corresponding angles are congruent. And the sizes have the same proportionality rate.

Given:

The angle measures,

∠CBD = (9x + 2)°

∠EFD = (15x -52)°

From the diagram,

ΔCBD is similar to ΔEFD.

So, the corresponding angles are equal.

∠CBD = ∠EFD

(9x + 2)° = (15x -52)°

15x - 9x = 52 + 2

6x = 54

x = 9°

And ∠CBF = ∠CBD

So, ∠CBF = (9x + 2)°

Substituting the value of x,

∠CBF = (9(9) + 2)°

∠CBF = 83°

Therefore, the angle measure of ∠CBF is 83°.
