Question

I AWARD METALS!!!!! I have a 69 in Algebra and need someone to help me pass this assignment with a C or higher please!!! I will paste the questions and tell you what I think the answers are

Answer 1

@mathmale can you help me with this please?

Answer 2

Hello, Klor,

If you'd post one question at a time and type in whatever you have done towards solving it, I'd be happy to give you feedback and guidance.

Answer 3

me too

Answer 4

okay! Thank you!

Answer 5

Mathmale is a good help. Especially with limits :)

Answer 6

This is the first one: A biologist is comparing the growth of a population of flies per week to the number of flies a bullfrog will consume per week. She has devised an equation to solve for which day (x) the bullfrog would be able to eat the entire population. The equation is 2x = 3x - 1. However, she has observed that the bullfrog cannot eat more than seven flies in one week.

Explain to the biologist how she can solve this on a graph using a system of equations. Identify any possible constraints to the situation.

Answer 7

I am not sure how she can solve this on a graph or what the question means by constraints

Answer 8

@mathmale has helped me before @AmTran_Bus :) He is a great help, I agree!

Answer 9

can you verify the equation

Answer 10

What is up there is all they gave me. I guess the actual question though in simpler terms would be "how can the biologist solve this on a graph using a system of equations?"

Answer 11

Can either of you help me with this?

Answer 12

I've seen this problem before, and remember that even I had problems interpreting what's being asked for. Unless you MUST do your math homework problems in a certain order, I'd suggest you move on to the next problem, and then the next, and so on, and come back to this current problem if and when you have time.

Answer 13

Okay. I will. But I can't answer it if I don't know how too :(

Answer 14

The equation is 2x = 3x - 1.
are you sure its not 2x^2 otherwise you have
sorry my mistake x=1

Answer 15

oh yeah sorry it is 2^x = 3x - 1

Answer 16

Okay so I think I know maybe how you could graph it. By putting it into 2 equations. Like y = 2^x and y = 3x - 1

Answer 17

and then when you graph them, you get 2 point of intersection.

Answer 18

and then my restrictions could possibly be since "x" represents number of days, x must be a positive integer. and the y being the number of flies, y also need to be a positive integer

Answer 19

Just a guess though. Does that sound right or no?

Answer 20

total flies/ 7 flies per week gives the number of weeks it would take to consume the entire population of flies and the total number of flies is the values of y.

Answer 21

just substitute y

Answer 22

okay

Answer 23

7 is the max no. of flies eaten per week so if this bullfrog ate less than the max allowed per day it would take longer to wipe out the population of flies

Answer 24

okay. So is my answer wrong?

Answer 25

ya

Answer 26

okay.

Answer 27

try again

Answer 28

So would my graphing part be wrong too?

Answer 29

yep

Answer 30

ugh okay so can you explain this to me then?

Answer 31

@triciaal already did

Answer 32

I think your method is fine.

Answer 33

okay so I'm good on this one?

Answer 34

I think so. Just remember to include the constraints and limits
