- I am very confused on this question and how to solve it please help. Blue whales are an endangered species due to harpooning and hunting that began in 1900. Up until the1960s it is estimated that 99% of the blue whale population was killed. Since then, whale harpooning hasbecome illegal in most countries. Because of this, numbers have started to rise again.In 1979, 700 whales were reported off the coast of California. In 1996, 2580 whales were reported off thecoast of California. The Law of Uninhibited Growth applies to this situation. Using the above data, find afunction of the form N(t) = N0e^kt which models the number of whales t years after 1979. (Use t = 0 to represent the year 1979.)arrow_forwardAn outdoor hot dog vendor sells an average of 70 hot dogs per day in dry weather and an average of 25 hot dogs in rainy weather.

Two decades ago, researchers believed that homework had a negative impact on students’ physical and emotional health, yet students are still bogged down with hours of homework as early as the second grade. According to research by several universities, elementary students spend an average of 3 hours a week doing homework. The same studies revealed that the average high school student spends over 22 hours a week on homework. In fact, students today spend more than double the time on homework than students two decades ago. Sadly, as time spent on homework doubles, student performance continues to decline. So, how then is homework helping? Homework is harmful and not the key to student success. 2 Select the correct answer. How does the writer introduce the claim? A. by using research to set the context for the argument against homework B. by telling a short personal story about her struggles with homework C. by comparing…arrow_forward
- Several years ago, the Arcadia school system was criticized because the average Arcadia High School graduate could read at only the ninth-grade level. After this report was made, a special reading program was established to upgrade skills. The AHS principal wants to know if the reading program worked. If it has, he will request that an accreditation team visit the school. If the program has not improved the reading level to at least 10.0 (sophomore level), the administrator would like to avoid the embarrassment of a poor review. To determine the average reading level of the senior class, we select ten seniors at random. We assume that reading scores are normally distributed. The reading scores for the ten seniors are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Reading Scores for Sample High School Seniors Student Reading Score 1 13.4 2 12.1 3 11.4 4 10.6 5 10.3 6 10.2 7 9.8 8 9.7 9 9.4 10 8.6 Calculate the sample mean…arrow_forwardWhat length of time marks the top 10% of all pregnancies?arrow_forwardRecently lady Gaga, arcade fire and skrillexarrow_forward
- The workers of the company "Malova" work in a 5-day work week and worked them for 22 days in the month of November 2020. The standard work schedule is 8 hours per day with a 30-minute break included in this time. Now, "Malova's" company is in the process of manufacturing screwdrivers and manufactured 3100 pieces of screwdrivers. In addition, the company manufactures screwdrivers in batches of 300 and after each batch makes a pause to check the quality of production and make certain adjustments to the machines if necessary. The break is 1 hour. Calculate the parts produced per hour by the Malova company in November.

On the 4th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 9.4 hours, which was the most sleep he got any night. Gradually, he got less sleep each successive night until, on the 18th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 6.2 hours, which was the least sleep he got any night. After keeping his diary for 6 months, he realized that the number of hours he got each night followed a sinusoidal curve. Let t be the number of nights since he started his diary, and s be how many hours he slept that night. It may be helpful to draw a crude sketch of the sleep time function and label the known t − and s − values on it. POSITIVE or NEGATIVE SIN or COS Maximum s − value = Minimum s − value = ______________ ______________ Middle s − value = ______________ = D Amplitude = ______________ = A ⇒ B = ______________ Given the crude sketch of the height function, the…arrow_forward
