Answer 1

Answer:

A timeframe of 8 years is when there were 45 raccoons in the area.

Standard Form:
[tex]\displaystyle ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

Quadratic Formula:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify given.

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}y & = 0.4x^2 + 2x + 2 \\y & = 45 \ \text{raccoons} \\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Step 2: Find Specific Year

We are trying to find the year when there were 45 raccoons present in the area. From first glance, we see we probably can't factor the quadratic expression, so let's set up to use the Quadratic Formula:

[Model Equation] Substitute in y:
[tex]\displaystyle 0.4x^2 + 2x + 2 = 45[/tex][Equality Properties] Rewrite [Standard Form]:
[tex]\displaystyle 0.4x^2 + 2x + 2 = 45 \rightarrow 0.4x^2 + 2x - 43 = 0[/tex][Standard Form] Identify:
[tex]\displaystyle 0.4x^2 + 2x - 43 = 0 \\\downarrow \\\begin{aligned}a & = 0.4 \\b & = 2 \\c & = -43 \\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now that we have our variables from Standard Form, we can use the Quadratic Formula to find which years when there were 45 raccoons present in the area:

[Quadratic Formula] Substitute in variables:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^2 - 4(0.4)(-43)}}{2(0.4)}[/tex][Order of Operations] Evaluate:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}x & = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^2 - 4(0.4)(-43)}}{2(0.4)} \\& = \frac{-2 \pm 8.53229}{0.8} \\& = -13.1654, 8.16536\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since time cannot be negative, we can isolate the other root to obtain our final answer:

[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned}x & = 8.16536 \ \text{years} \\& \approx \boxed{ 8 \ \text{years} } \\\end{aligned}[/tex]

∴ we have found the approximate amount of years to be 8 years when there were 45 raccoons in the area.

A rectangle is sometimes, always, never similar to another rectangle

Answers

Two rectangles can be similar, but that's not always guaranteed.

In fact, similar shapes have the same angles and correspondant sides in proportion.

All rectangles will always have four right angles, so we only have to worry about the sides.

Let [tex]a,b[/tex] be the sides of a rectangle, with [tex]a\leq b[/tex]. Let [tex]c,d[/tex] be the sides of a rectangle, with [tex]c\leq d[/tex].

Then, the two rectangles are similar if and only if

[tex]a\div c=b\div d[/tex]

So, for examples, a rectangle with dimensions 3 and 7 is similar to a rectangle with sides 6 and 14 (both sides have been doubled), but it's not similar to a rectangle with sides 6 and 21 (one side has been doubled, the other has been tripled).

How many times larger is the volume of a sphere if the radius is multiplied by 5?

Answers

Answer:

Brainliest please

The  Volume is 125 times bigger.

Step-by-step explanation:

V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}*\pi *r^{3}\\[/tex] is the normal formula.

If you multiply the radius by 5 the it changes to

V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}*\pi *(5r)^{3}[/tex]

And when you simplify you get

V = [tex]\frac{4}{3} * \pi * 125r^3[/tex]

And the only difference between the inital equation and this one is *125 and so the volume is 125 bigger if the radius is multiplied by 5.

This is a very hard question!! its a math riddle, the teacher said that something like this will be in our test.

My grandson is about as many days as my son in weeks, and my grandson is as many months as I am in years. My grandson, my son and I together are 120 years. Can you tell me my age in years ?

Answers

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the age in years. If s is the son's age in years, then the son is 52x weeks old. If g is the grandson's age in years, then the will be grandson 365m days old. So....  the labels are for the equation.

365m = 52x.

Since the grandson is 12w months old,

12w = months.

Since the grandson,  son and the person together are 120 years,

m + x + months = 120.

these are the labels (m, x, and month)

month = 624 x 120 / 1041 = 72.

So, I am basically 72 years old.

hope this helped :D

Place parentheses around one operation and two numbers to make this equation true. Then solve it, showing all of your steps. 64 - 8 + 12 x 2 + 9 = 188

Answers

Answer:

64 - 8 + 12 x (2 + 9) = 188

Step-by-step explanation:

64 - 8 + 12 x 2 + 9 = 188

Putting parentheses around two numbers and one operation:

64 - 8 + 12 x (2 + 9) = 188

Following the BODMAS principle

Solving the bracket or parentheses first

(2 + 9) = 11

64 - 8 + 12 × 11

Then multiplication:

12 × 11 = 132

64 - 8 + 132

Then addition:

-8 + 132 = 124

64 + 124 = 188

Hence the proof

Angle sum property (In ΔPQR, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180°) can be used to determine the measure of angle Q.

Using angle sum property, ∠Y = 46°.

It can be concluded that ∠Y = ∠Q.

What is angle sum property?

The angle sum property of a triangle states that the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to 180º.

In ΔPQR,

∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180° (angle sum property)

86 + ∠Q + 48 = 180

∠Q = 180 - 86 - 48 = 46°

In ΔXYZ,

∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180° (angle sum property)

86 + ∠Y + 48 = 180

∠Y = 180 - 86 - 48 = 46°

As visible, ∠Q = ∠Y.
