The Deep Creek State Forest is a 380-acre state forest located 11 miles north of St. Augustine, Florida. The cottontail rabbit population in this forest grows at the rate of 5% monthly. If there are 175 rabbits in forest in September, find how many rabbits should be expected by next September. Use the formula: y=175(2.7)0.05t y = 175 ( 2 . 7 ) 0 . 05 t . Round your answer to the nearest whole number. The cottontail rabbit population next September is expected to be rabbits. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number)

By next September, the estimated population would be 284 cottontail rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that express the growth of the rabbits is

Y = 175(2.7)0.05t

Y = number of rabbits

Where t = time in months.

The growth of the rabbits in 12 months would be. Since from one September to another equal 1 year which is 12 months.

Y = 175(2.7)0.05(12)

Y = 283.5 = 284 rabbits

The estimated population of cottontail rabbits by next September is 284 rabbits

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
