A species of horned beetle has a (starting) population size of 4000 individuals. Every month, 170 individuals are born. However,

you cannot assess the number of individuals that die every month because after death the animals are susceptible to a fungus that quickly degrades their carcasses. You can measure, though, that the population is declining over time, with the population size decreasing by 70 individuals every month (i.e. dN/dt). Calculate a) the total number of deaths per month (1pt) and the per capita death rate (

Answer:

Please refer to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided parameters:

Initial population = 4000

Monthly increase = 170

Monthly decline in population = 70

Monthly growth rate in population (dt):

Starting population = 4000

Births per month = 170

However, there is a loss of 70 individuals monthly

Thus,

Births - Deaths (d) = 70

170 - d = - 70 (is there a decline?

170 + 70 = d

d equals the number of deaths

Per capita death rate:

Total deaths monthly / Initial population

= 240 / 4000

= 0.06

If rs 500 amounts to Rs 725 at 9% simple interest in sometime ,what will Rs 600amount to at 11% in same time?
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

Rs\ 930

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating simple interest is

A=P(1+rt)

Here,

A refers to the Total Amount of Investment

P denotes the Initial Investment

r indicates the interest rate 

t represents the duration in time periods

step 1

Determine the duration t

For this scenario, we have

t=?\ years\\ P=Rs\ 500\\ A=Rs\ 725\\r=0.09

Plugging into the formula above and solving for t

725=500(1+0.09t)

t=[(725/500)-1]/0.09

t=5\ years

step 2

What will Rs 600 grow to at 11% over the same duration?

We have

t=5\ years\\ P=Rs\ 600\\ A=?\\r=0.11

Insert into the formula

A=600(1+0.11*5)

A=600(1.55)

A=Rs\ 930

2x^2 - y = -5
     x + y = 8
----------------adding gives us
2x^2 + x = 3 <==

** It's important to note that 2x^2 and x cannot be combined, because they are not like terms.

How many different letter permutations, of any length, can be made using the letters M O T T O (For instance, there are 3 possib
tester [8842]

Answer:

89

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

2 O, 2 T and 1 M

Now based on this, the following arrangements exist  

1

Three arrangements i.e. {M,T,O}

2

XX or XY

XX in 2C1 = two arrangements i.e. {OO or TT}

XY in 3C2 × 2! = six arrangements

3

XXY or XYZ

XXY in 2C1 × 2C1 × 3! ÷ 2! = twelve arrangements

XYZ in 3C3 × 3! = six arrangements

4

XXYY or XXYZ

XXYY = 4! ÷ (2! × 2!) = six arrangements

XXYZ in 2C1 ×  4! ÷ 2! = twenty four arrangements

5

= 5! ÷ (2! ×2!)

= 120 ÷ 4

= 30

Thus, the overall total is

= 3 + (2 +6)+ (12 +6) + (6 +24) + 30

= 89
