A study of the red tailed hawk population in a given area shows the population, H(t), can be represented by the function H(t)=50(1.19)t where t represents the number of years since the study began. In terms of the monthly rate of growth, the population can be best approximated by the function
a. H(t)=50(1.015)12t c. H(t)=50(1.19)12t
b. H(t)=50(1.15)t/12 d. H(t)=50(1.19)t/12
a. H(t)=50(1.015)12t
Given y= -2x and x2 + y2 = 5, the point of intersection in quadrant II is

An initial investment of $5000 in an account earns 3.5% annual interest. Which function correctly represents a recursive model of the investment after n years.
a. A=5000(0.035)n c. A=5000(1.035)n
b. a0=5000 d. a0=5000
an = an-1(0.035) an=an-1(1.035)
d. a0=5000
an=an-1(1.035)
The growth of a %500 investment can be modeled by the function P(t)=500(1.03)t , where t represents time is years. In terms of the monthly rate of growth, the value of the investment can be best approximated by
a. P(t)=500(1.00247)12t c. P(t)=500(1.03)12t
b. P(t)=500(1.00247)t d. P(t)=500(1.03)t/12
a. P(t)=500(1.00247)12t
At the Lakeside Resort, the probability that a guest room has a view of the lake is 0.24. The probability that a guest room has a queen-size bed is 0.74. Let A be the event that the guest room has a view of the lake, and let B be the event that the queen-size bed. Events A and B are found to be independent of each other.
Determine the exact probability that a randomly selected guest room has a view of the lake and a queen-size bed.
P(Q and V)=P(Q) x P(V)
P(Q and V)=(.74)(.24)
P(Q and V)=.1776
Answer: .1776
