Answer:
347 is the initial spider population
Step-by-step explanation:
y = ab^x
is the formula for exponential growth and decay
a = the initial value
b is the growth or decay rate
b>1 it is the growth rate (b-1) is the percent
0<b<1 it is the decay rate (1-b) is the percent
y = 347(1.2)^x
347 is the initial spider population
(1.2-1) = .2 = 20 % growth rate
Log(7x+1) - log(x-2) =1
log[(7x+1) / (x-2)] =1 or log[(7x+1) / (x-2)] =log10 (log10=1)
it means (7x+1) / (x-2) =10
Solving ===> x=7
{-2x-5y=13
<u>{2x-5y=17 </u>(+)
<em /> -2x+2x-5y-5y=13+17
-10y=30 /:(-10)
y=-3
2x-5y=17
2x-5*(-3)=17
2x+15=17
2x=2
x=1
<em>Solution: (1; -3)</em>
Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14
