The answer is 14 flies
1. Calculate the population of flies after 3 weeks without the spider: p(3)
2. Calculate the number of eaten flies by the spider after 3 weeks: s(3)
3. Subtract p(3) and s(3) to get the population of flies after three weeks with the introduced spider.
1. Calculate the population of flies after 3 weeks without the spider:
p(x) = 3(2)ˣ
x = 3 (because it is the period of three weeks)
⇒ p(3) = 3 · 2³ = 3 · 8
p(3) = 24
2. Calculate the number of eaten flies by the spider after 3 weeks:
s(x) = 2x + 4
x = 3 (because it is the period of three weeks)
⇒ s(3) = 2 · 3 + 4 = 6 + 4
s(3) = 10
3. Subtract p(3) and s(3) to get the population of flies after three weeks with the introduced spider:
p(3) - s(3) = 24 - 10 = 14
Therefore, there are 14 flies after three weeks with the introduced spider.
Start by plotting the y-intercept at (0,1).
From that point, count "up 2, right 1" to get a second point on your graph.
If needed repeat that "up 2, right 1" from that second point to get a third point.
Draw the line that connects these 2 or 3 points.
1 minute = 60 seconds
2 minutes = 60 x 2 = 120 seconds
Fraction = 6/120 reduces to 1/20
The answer is 1/20
