Fishing is a serious environmental issue. It has been determined by the scientists that if the net of a trawler has mesh size x cm by x (square mesh) then the percentage of fish entering the net that is caught in the net is (100-0.02x^2-0.05x. for example, if the mesh size is zero 100% of the fish that enter the net will be caught. The trawler with the net with a square mesh that was suspected of using an illegal size net dropped its net to the ocean floor near the damans and coast guard officials arrested the crew. the scientists later looked at the size of the fish caught and estimated that the net used by the trawler at least 97.93% of the fish entering the net would be caught. What is the maximum value of x for the net by the trawler?

- 100-0.02x^2-0.05x
ans is 9
100-0.02*9^2-0.05*9
=97.93 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- Explanation:
For some x, 97.93% fish was caught. So
> 100 - 0.02x2- 0.05x = 97.8
> 0.02x2 + 0.05x = 2.07
> 4x2+ 24x = 220
> 2x2+ 5x - 207 = 0
> 2x2+5x-207=0
> 2x2+23x-18x-207=0
> x(2x+23)-9(2x+23)=0
(x-9)(2x+23)=0
Solving we get x = 9and -23/2
So x = 9 is correct option. - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- for some x 97.93% fish would be caught
so,100-0.02x^2-0.05x=97.93
by solving the equation
0.02x^2+0.05x=2.07
2x^2+5x-207=0
2x^2+23x-18x-207=0
x(x+23)-18(x+23)=0
x=-23,x=18
so x=18 is the answer - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
