Answer:

Option A

f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gnats the scientists have gathered

At 0 hours, they gathered 12 gnats.

Checking all the options, applying x = 0 makes the index part become 1 (Anything raised to the power zero is 1).

So, we have the following functions

f(x) = 12.5

f(x) = 12.6

f(x) = 6.2

f(x) = 1.6

This has reduced our work, as we can screen out options C and D, they are too far from 12. This leaves us with option A and B.

At 1 hour, they gathered 20 gnats.

Checking options A and B

A. f(x) = 12.5(1.6)

= 20

B. f(x) = 12.6(6.2)

By inspection, 12 × 6 is already 72,

12.6 × 6.2 will be more.

By these, we can conclude that f(x) = 12.5(1.6)^x has the best models the number of gnats the scientists have gathered after the number of hours listed in the given table.

Four servings of yogurt have 12 grams of protein. What is the number of grams of protein per serving?
tester [92]
If there are 12 grams of protein in all, and 4 servings, in order to get the amount of grams per serving you must divide 12 by 4.

12 divided by 4 = 4.

Therefore, there are 4 grams per serving.
