Given that the number of years should be represented with x, the number of fish in the pond after x years should best be represented with f(x). The equation that would best show the given scenario in the problem above is,
f(x) = 500(2^x)
From the given, 500 is used as the initial population of the fish.
1 1/3 is the answer
you have to subtract the numerator of the improper fraction from the denominator and the number you have left is the fraction like for 4/3 4-3=1 so the fraction is 1/3 the amount that is NOT a fraction counts as the whole depending on how many times it can go into the denominator.
They live 9 3/4 blocks away from eachother
Here, Sequence : -2, -6, -18, -54
Common Ratio = a₂/a₁ = -6/-2 = 3
As the expression is in negative sign, it's sequence will be -3ˣ
Where x = number of terms in the sequence [ By this rule, you can calculate the unknown nth number]
In short, Option C is your answer!!!!
Let me know, if you have some doubt.
You can convert that to 17/5 - 9/5 which equals 8/5
