Answer:  186655

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A population of geese grow in such a way that each generation is simply 2.2 times the previous generation. It means they grow exponentially.

The initial number of geese in the first generation = 3

The exponential growth equation for nth generation is given by :-

y=Ab^{n-1}, where A is the initial amount and b is the multiplicative rate of change.

such that  for n=1, y=3(2.2)^{1-1}=3

In 15th generation with multiplicative rate of change b= 2.2, the population is given by :-

y=3(2.2)^{15-1}\\\Rightarrow\ y=3(62218.21)\\\Rightarrow\ y=186654.63\approx186655

This would produce a geometric sequence of the form:

g=3(2.2)^(n-1)

The sum of which is:

g=3(1-2.2^n)/(1-2.2) cleaning up a bit...

g=-3.6(1-2.2^n)

g(15)=-3.6(1-2.2^15)

g(15)=492764.6, since the number of geese must be an integer...

g(15)=492764

There are only two orthodontists in a village and both wore braces until last month. Dr. Carter now has straight teeth and a cle
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Dr Carter

Step-by-step explanation:

I would want to visit Dr. Carter for an orthodontis appointment for multiple reasons. One, he can prove that he doesn’t do his work sloppily as his office is clean, and two, he can prove that his treatments work. since his teeth are now perfectly straight, that shows that his Braces really work, whereas Dr. Shuman’s treatments either don’t work or take a lot longer for results to appear.
