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.

36 and 38<br><br>Steps and explaination please

Answer:

36.   Limit = 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

36.

(∛ x- 1)  / (√x - 1)

Rationalise the expression:-

Multiply top and bottom by (√x + 1):-

(∛x - 1)(√x + 1) /  (√x - 1)(√x + 1)

=  x^5/6  + ∛x - √x - 1 /  (x - 1)

Applying L'hopital's rule ( differentiating top and bottom of the fraction) we have:

Limit as x ----> 1 of  [5/6 x^-1/6 + 1/3 x^(-2/3)  - 1/2x^-1/2] / 1

= 5/6(1) + 1/3(1) - 1/2(1)  =  2/3  (answer).
