An exponential function is :
f ( x ) = a * b^x,
where x is the number of the years.
a = 240   ( number of the birds at start )
16 % = 0.16
b = 1 + 0.16 = 1.16
f ( x ) = 240 * 1.16^x
Answer:
a = 240,   b = 1.16

Answer:

Hence the values of a and b are given by:

a=240

and b=1.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A population of 240 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually.

i.e. the initial population of birds is 240.

Also they are increasing at a rate of 16% =0.16.

Hence, it clearly implies that the growth is exponential and the function that represents the population of the birds after x years is given by:

f(x)=240\times (1+0.16)^x\\\\\\f(x)=240\times (1.16)^x

Hence, on comparing our function with the exponential function:

f(x)=ab^x

we have:

a=240

and b=1.16.

Simplify. 1/4 (-12+4/3)
matrenka [14]
Add what's in the parentheses first:  -12 + 4/3 = -10 2/3

Then multiply -10 2/3 by 1/4:  1/4 x -10 2/3 = - 2 2/3

So your answer is -2 2/3.

Hope this helps! :D

Hello!


This question is an example of function composition.


Given, f(x) = 3x - 5, find f(x - 1). For this problem, we substitute x for (x - 1).


f(x - 1) = 3(x - 1) - 5

f(x - 1) = 3x - 3 - 5

f(x - 1) = 3x - 8


Therefore, the answer is choice D, f(x - 1) = 3x - 8.
