A scientist wants to estimate the number of lions living in a region.

On Thursday, he locates and tags some lions. I

On Friday he returns and locates 10 less lions than he had on Thursday.

He notices that 4 of the lions are tagged

The scientist works out an estimate for the total number of lions living in the

region.

He notices that the number of lions that he had caught on Thursday, was a

fifth of the total number of lions.

How many lions live in the region?

Answers

Answer 1

The number of the lions that live in the region investigated by the considered scientist is 80.

How to form mathematical expression from the given description?

You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically. For example if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4. If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.

For this case, we're specified that:

He locates and tags lions on ThursdayOn friday, he locates 10 less lions than he had on Friday.He notices (on friday) that 4 of the lions are tagged.The number of lions caught on thursday was a fifth of the total number of lions.

Let we take:

x = number of lions the scientist located and tagged on thursday.

Then, we get:

x - 10 = number of lions the scientist located (and assumingly found that they're tagged) on friday,

4 = number of lions he found tagged on friday.

That means, x -10 is same number as 4

or, we get:

[tex]x - 10 = 4\\\text{Adding 10 on both the sides}\\\\x = 14[/tex]

That means, on thursday, the scientist located and tagged 14 lions.

Now, suppose that the region had 'y' number of lions,

Then, as per the data in the question,

one-fifth of y =  number of lions located by scientist on thursday

or, we get:
[tex]\dfrac{y}{5} = x\\\\\dfrac{y}{5} = 14\\\\\text{Multiplying 5 on both the sides}\\\\y = 80[/tex]


Thus, the number of lions that live in the region considered is 80

Answer 2

The total number of lines is 70.

We have given that,

A scientist wants to estimate the number of lions living in a region.

On Thursday, he locates and tags some lions.

On Friday he returns and locates 10 less lions than he had on Thursday.

He notices that 4 of the lions are tagged

The scientist works out an estimate for the total number of lions living in the region.

we have to determine the no of lines in the length.

on Thursday no.of lines=x

on friday=(x-10)=4

x-10=4

add like terms

What is the like terms?

Like terms are terms whose variables and their exponents such as the 2 in x^2 are the same.

x=10+4

x=14

No.of total lions =5th of (no. of tagged on Thursday.)

=5(14)

=70

Therefore the total number of lines is 70.

Which function represents the graph

Answers

The absolute value function represented by the graph is:

y = -3*|x|

So the correct option is B.

Which function represents the graph?

In the graph, we can see a "V" shape, which belongs to the absolute value functions, but this graph opens down, so our function will be something like:

y = -a*|x - b|

The value of b is the value of x where we have the vertex, in this case, is at x = 0, so b = 0

y = -a*|x|

To get the value of 1, we ise one of the points that we can see on the graph. For example, for x = 1, we have y = -3, replacing that we get:

-3 = -a*|1| = -a

3 = a

So we can conclude that our function is:

y = -3*|x|

So the correct option is B.

What type of triangle is defined by the following set of side lengths

Acute


Obtuse


Right


Not a triangle

Answers

Answer:

ACUTE TRIANGLE

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a triangle is greater than the square of the longest side, the triangle is acute. However, if the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a triangle is smaller than the square of the longest side, the triangle is obtuse.

Therefore, the triangle with sides 11, 9, and 7 is an acute triangle since 9² + 7² is greater than 11²

b) A different pattern is made using 20 straight lines
and 14 arcs.
The straight lines and arcs are made from metal.
20 straight lines cost £12
cost of one straight line : cost of one arc = 2 : 3
Work out the total cost of metal in the pattern.

Answers

Answer:

total cost= 24.6

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ÷ 20 = 0.6 per straight line

arc 0.6 × 3/2 = 0.9

12 + 0.9 × 14

12 + 12.6 = 24.6

The required cost of the metal used in the pattern is £24.6.

Given that,
A different pattern is made using 20 straight lines and 14 arcs.
The straight lines and arcs are made from metal. 20 straight lines cost £12 cost of one straight line is cost one arc = 2 : 3.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
Let the cost of the total arcs be x,
As per the given condition,
The cost of the one straight line is 12/20 and cos if the one arc is x/14,
According to the question,
[12/20]/[x/14] = 2/3
12×14/20 = 2x / 3
x = £12.6
The total cost of a metal arc is £12.6
And the total cost of the metal line in the pattern is = £12.

Total cost of metal = 12 + 12.6 = £24.6

Thus, the required cost of the metal used in the pattern is £24.6.

Answers

When the bay shoots are 82.55 mm, Derek should cut them according to the guidebook for growing fresh herbs option (c) is correct.

What is unit conversion?

It is defined as the conversion from one quantity unit to another quantity unit followed by the process of division, multiplication by a conversion factor.

The book says that it is best to cut bay shoots when they are 3.25 in long.

As it is given that the:

1 mm = 0.03937 in

To find how many millimeters long should the bay shoots be when Derek cuts them, we must convert 3.25 in to mm

From the 1 mm = 0.03937 in, we can find how many mm is there in 1 in;

[tex]\rm 1 \ in= \frac{1}{0.03937} \ mm[/tex]

To convert 3.25 in into mm, we must multiply it by 1/0.03937

= 3.25×(1/0.03937)

= 82.55 mm

Thus, when the bay shoots are 82.55 mm, Derek should cut them according to the guidebook for growing fresh herbs option (c) is correct.
