Answer:

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of beetles in Week 0= 6

Population of beetles in Week 7= 83

From week 0 to week 7 there are 8 weeks.

But subtracting population of week 0 from population of week 7 gives

= 83-6

= 77

After the subtraction, we have 7 weeks remaining.

Dividing the remaining population by the number of weeks remaining

=77/7

= 11

For n number of weeks, population p of beetles

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks

Which ordered pairs represent points on the graph of f(x)= Negative RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot? Check all that apply.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

(0, 0)
(1, –1)
(8, –2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We normally think of the ordered pairs as ...

(x, y) = (x, -∛x)

Another way to think about them is ...

(x, y) = (-y³, y)

I find it a little easier to think about the cube of a number, rather than its cube root.

For the y-values given, -2, -1, 0, 2, the points that will be on the graph are ...

(8, -2), (1, -1), (0, 0), (-8, 2)

The first three of these points are listed in your answer choices.

pochemuha

Answer:

Absolute value means the distance between a number and 0.

Examples:

The absolute value of -7 is 7.

The absolute value of 5 is 5.

Key Concepts:

The absolute value sign is |x|, where x is any real number.

The absolute value removes any negative sign in front of a number.

Rachel bought 3 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of $35.40. Of that total, $2.70 was tax

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill - the tax = cost of 3CD's

Our total bill is $35.40, the tax is $2.70, therefore,

35.40 - 2.70 = cost of 3 CD's so

3 CD's = $32.70

Divide that by 3 to get the cost per CD:

32.7 / 3 = $ 10.90 per CD
