- The equation y = 50(1.05) models the growth of a mule deer population introduced into Guadalupe National Park in December 2015. "X" represents the number of years after December 2015 while "y" represents the population at time "x". In what year will the mule deer population first reach 1500? 3 F 2084 G 2044 2043 2085arrow_forwardAhmed is skiing down a steep hill. Ahmed’s elevation, E(t), in feet after t seconds is given by E(t)=3000-70t.

The other end of the Bungee is tied via padded ankle straps to a jumper's ankle. The jumper jumps and the Bungee cord extends like a rubber band and the jumper bounces up and down until coming to a halt. The Bungee cord elongation 150% of its length, meaning that the Bungee cord extended length Will be its original length plus 1.5 times of its original length. Knowing that that the jumper's height is not more 7 feet, what should the original length of the Bungee cord be to assure that the jumper under any condition stays at least 10 feet above water? Solution: Let consider the following bridge of 120 height above water.arrow_forward
