Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the value of each variable in the formula. Be sure to put the percent in decimal form. Be sure the units match—the rate is per hour and the time is in hours.

AA0rt=?=1000=−0.08/hour=48hours

Substitute the values in the formula.

AA=A0ert=1,000e−0.08⋅48

Compute the amount.

A≈21.49

Round to the nearest whole number.

A≈21

The function y=65x...
ANEK [815]
I believe there was a typo in the question. The equation states 65, buy the chart states 55. This is not linear at all.

I was absent the day they taught this and my teacher refuses to teach me
julsineya [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

it's something in algebra i don't remember but basically the top number (12) has the x on the bottom which is multiplication and the bottom number (8) has addition so those tell u how ur supposed to get those numbers

so basically u need to find two numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to 12 so the factors are 6 and 2 because 6 • 2 is 12 and 6 + 2 = 8. hope this helps

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378
