Answer:
the simplified version of 3/9 would be 1/3 but other equivalent fractions of 3/9 would include but are not exclusive to: 2/6, 4/12, 5/15, and etc.
M = -6/4
b = 7
equation : y = -6/4x+7
<span>idk why they want the dratted "k" . it is so simple w/o it !
in the form y = ab^x, a = 4000, b = 4400/4000 = 1.1, x = t/2
N = 4000*1.1^(13/2) = 7432 <------
-----------------
now you won't be satisfied with simplicity, so
4400 = 4000e^2k
e^2k = 1.1
k = ln 1.1/2 = .0477 to 4 dp
N(13) = 4000e^(13*.0477) = 7436 <------
note that apart from a roundabout way, you get a less accurate ans !</span>
