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

What is equivalent to 48x-6+3y/3
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide 3 out of all three given terms:

3(16x - 2 + y/3)

is one possibility.  Where are the answer choices that you were given?

Note:  48x-6+3y/3 is an expression in x and y, but is not an equation.  Is that what  you intended?

Which function best fits the following points?
MrMuchimi

The function that best fits the graph points is; B: y = 65.0778 * 772.9605ˣ

<h3>How to Interpret Function Graphs?</h3>

From the given graph, we can see that is parabolic form and as such we can say it is an exponential function.

Looking at the options, only option B is in exponential form and as such, we will take one point on the graph to check if this is the right function.

Let us use the coordinate (0.9, 26000)

y = 65.0778 * 772.9605ˣ

y = 65.0778 * 772.9605^(0.9)

y = 25837.76

This is very close and as such is the correct option.

708 divide by 67 . Then check the multiplication ?
Oxana [17]
708/67
67 goes into 708 ten times, but there is a remainder since 67 doesn't go into 708 completely. The remainder is what is left after being divided by a whole number, which is .567 in this case. So the answer would be 10.6 if you are rounding to tens, the longer version would be 10.67816418.
