Question:
A population of insects, in thousands, can be modeled using the function
, where t is time in months. Which statement best
describes the population of insects?
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
B. The population is decaying at a rate of 25% each month.
C. The population is growing at a rate of 75% each month.
D. The population is growing at a rate of 97% each month.
Answer:
A. The population is decaying at a rate of 3% each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
True statement about the function
From the options, we can see that we are to answer the question on the basis of decay and growing rates.
An exponential form is:
Compare to
If 
, then 
r represents growth rate
else, 
r represents decay rate
Since b < 0.97:
Answer:
°
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 
form both sides

X^2-22x-48=0
x^2-24x+2x-48=0
x(x-24)+2(x-24)
(x+2)(x-24)
Solve by grouping if you are able to find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term...this method is rather easy with easy to manage numbers. Complete the square if you cannot find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term. Completing the square helps when the equation is in the form of a parabola.
Answer:
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4x + 188 = 6x +216
Subtract 6x from both sides:
4x + 188 - 6x = 6x + 216 - 6x
-2x + 188 = 216
Subtract 188 from both sides:
-2x + 188 - 188 = 216 - 188
-2x = 28
Divide both sides by two:
