Resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is a beautiful bird species that lives in the tropical forests of Central America. Assuming that you started a breeding program and you would like to breed resplendent quetzal to produce longer tails. You measured 50 resplendent quetzals and obtained a mean tail length of 85.4 cm. You selected 10 resplendent quetzals with longest tails as breeders. The mean tail length of the breeders is 91.2 cm. After mating, offspring of the resplendent quetzal breeders have a mean tail length of 87.7 cm. What is the heritability of tail length in this resplendent quetzal population

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value is  [tex]H  =0.3966[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  50

  The  mean tail is  [tex]\= x  =  85.4 \cm[/tex]

  The  number  of resplendent quetzals selected as breeders  is  [tex]k =  10[/tex]

   The  mean tail breeders  is  [tex]\= x_1 =  91.2 \ cm[/tex]

   The mean tail of the breeders after mating  [tex]\=  x_2  =  87.7 \ cm[/tex]

   

Generally the selection differential is mathematically represented as

    [tex]D  =  \= x_1 -  \= x [/tex]

=>  [tex]D  = 91.2-  85.4 [/tex]

=>  [tex]D  = 5.8 \  cm [/tex]

Generally the selection response  is mathematically represented as

       [tex]S =  \=  x_2  - \= x[/tex]

=>    [tex]S =  87.7   - 85.4[/tex]

=>    [tex]S =2.3 \  cm [/tex]

Generally the  heritability of tail length in this resplendent quetzal population is mathematically represented as

     [tex]H  =  h^2 =  \frac{S}{D} [/tex]

=>   [tex]H  =  h^2 =  \frac{2.3}{5.8} [/tex]

=>  [tex]H  =  h^2 =  \frac{2.3}{5.8}  [/tex]

=>  [tex]H  =  h^2 = 0.3966/tex]

Please help me understand how to solve equations like these, I don’t understand them:

Answers

Answer:

subtract the unwanted b termdivide by the coefficient of bb = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers 4/5 and 9/10 are fractions. They multiply the variable 'b' in each case.

How to solve an equation like this

An example of an equation like this without fractions is ...

  6 + 3b = 8b

You solve this sort of equation by rearranging the equation so the terms having 'b' in them are all on one side of the equal sign. You want all of the terms not containing 'b' to be on the other side of the equal sign.

Here, the terms are mixed on the left, but the right has only a 'b' term. So, if we can remove the 'b' term from the left side, we will have reached the goal

In the example equation, we do that by adding -3b to both sides of the equation.

  6 +3b -3b = 8b -3b

Simplifying, we have ...

  6 = 5b

Now, we divide by the coefficient of 'b', which is 5. We divide both sides of the equation by that:

  6/5 = (5b)/5

  6/5 = b . . . . after simplifying

_____

How to solve this equation

The given equation is solved exactly the same way. We add the opposite of the 'b' term that we don't want (which is 4/5b):

  6 + 4/5b -4/5b = 9/10b -4/5b

Simplifying, this is ...

  6 = (9/10 -4/5)b = (9/10 -8/10)b

  6 = 1/10b

We can make the coefficient of 'b' be 1 by multiplying it by 10. We have to do that to both sides of the equation:

  (10)(6) = (10)(1/10)b

  60 = b . . . . . the solution

_____

Comment on equations in general

The one absolute rule in Algebra is that the equal sign must remain valid. You keep that commandment by observing the properties of equality. Essentially, you can do anything you like to one side of an equation, as long as you do exactly the same thing to the other side.

Here, when we say "subtract 4/5b", the way we keep this commandment is that we do it to both sides of the equation. The same is true for "multiply by 10". This is emphasized by the bold highlighting in the solution shown above.

Comment on arithmetic

In solving this equation, we did the arithmetic using the given fractions. Often, for an equation like this, you will be told the first step is to "eliminate fractions". You can do that here by multiplying the equation by 10:

  10(6 +4/5b) = 10(9/10b)

  60 +8b = 9b

Now, the unwanted term is 8b, so subtracting that (from both sides) gives ...

  60 = b

This is essentially a "2-step" equation, either way you do it.

It is helpful if you are comfortable doing arithmetic with fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, percentages, and numbers in scientific notation, as well as integers.

Answer:

  B.  3x^2 +11x -20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For solutions p and q, the quadratic will be

  (x -p)(x -q) = 0

We notice that the leading coefficients of the offered answer choices are greater than 1, so it will be convenient to use a value that "clears fractions."

  (x -4/3)(x -(-5)) = 0

  3(x -4/3)(x +5) = 0 . . . . multiply by 3 to clear the fraction

  (3x -4)(x +5) = 0 . . . . . . clear the fraction

  3x(x +5) -4(x +5) = 0 . . use the distributive property

  3x^2 +15x -4x -20 = 0 . . . . use the distributive property again

  3x^2 +11x -20 = 0 . . . . collect terms

_____

The constant in the product of factors is the product of roots:

  (x -p)(x -q) = x^2 -(p+q)x +pq

Here, that would mean the constant would be (4/3)(-5) = -20/3.

If we compare the above quadratic to the standard form:

  ax^2 +bx +c = 0

we find that we can divide the standard form equation by 'a' to get ...

  pq = c/a

That is, c/a = -20/3, so we might start looking for an answer choice that has a leading coefficient of a=3 and a constant of c=-20.

The coordinates of point T are (0, 5) . The midpoint of overline ST is (1, - 2) . Find the coordinates of point S

Plz hurry if u can!!!

Answers

The midpoint of a line segment is the point equidistant to the endpoints of the line. The coordinate of S is (2,-9)

Given that:

[tex]T(x_1,y_1) = (0,5)[/tex]

[tex]M = (1,-2)[/tex] --- the midpoint of ST

[tex]S = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]

To calculate the coordinates of S, we use the following midpoint formula:

[tex]M = 0.5 \times (x_1 + x_2,y_1+y_2)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](1,-2) = 0.5 \times (0 +x_2,5 + y_2)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.5

[tex](2,-4) = (0 +x_2,5 + y_2)[/tex]

[tex](2,-4) = (x_2,5 + y_2)[/tex]

Compare both sides

[tex]x_2 = 2[/tex]

[tex]5 + y_2 = -4[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]y_2 = -4-5[/tex]

[tex]y_2 = -9[/tex]

Hence, the coordinates of S is:

[tex]S = (2,-9)[/tex]

We can say that:

Calculate x, knowing that angles opposite the vertex have the same value: ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

4x - 21 = 2x + 74x - 2x = 7 + 212x = 28x = [tex]\dfrac{28}{2}[/tex] x = 14

To know the value of y, just calculate when the angle 4x - 21 ° is worth, as we already have the value of x. Then just do another equation.

4.14 - 2156 - 21 35

Now, we calculate:

180 - 35 → (35 is the value of 4x - 21 angle, and the adjacent angle of 2x + 7 is same to 10z + 15)= 145Now, we calculate:10z + 15 = 14510z = 145 - 1510z = 130z = [tex]\dfrac{130}{10}[/tex] z = 13

What are the slope, m, and y-intercept, b, of a line that passes through the points
(3,-1) and (7,-5)?

Answers

Answer:

Slope would be m= -1, y-int is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, use (y2-y1/x2-x1) Plugging this in, we get (-5-(-1)/(7-3). This can be simplified to -4/4, which is -1. After we find slope, we plug in one of the points to find be. Using (7,-5), y=-5 and x=7. So, -5=7(-1)+b. -5=-7+b. Add 7 to both sides, b=2. Therefore, the entire equation is y=-x+2.

Answer:

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

use slope formula!

x=20

At 20 miles they both have a cost of 60

Let's see what to do buddy....

____________________________

Step (1)

Express taxi charges 2.50 $ per mile.

So if each mile equals x the taxi charges 2.50 x.

There's the starting fare too.

So ;

Express taxi charges by the following function :

[tex]f(x) = 2.5x + 10[/tex]

____________________________

Step (2)

Speedy taxi charges 3 $ per mile.

So if each mile equals x the taxi charges 3x .

There's no starting fare.

So ;

Speedy taxi charges by the following function :

[tex]g(x) = 3x[/tex]

____________________________

Step (3)

To find that after how many miles is the cost of both taxi services the same , we must equal their functions.

Then solve for x .

So we have :

[tex]f(x) = g(x)[/tex]

[tex]2.5x + 10 = 3x[/tex]

Subtract the sides of the equation minus 2.5x :

[tex]10 = 0.5x[/tex]

[tex]10 = \frac{1}{2}x \\ [/tex]

Multiply the sides of the equation by 2 :

[tex]x = 20[/tex]

So after 20 miles both taxi services have the same cost.

And we're done.
