We are told that a population of insects grows exponentially and we are given a table of data about insect population growth. We are asked to find population of insects at the end of week 11.        

The initial insect population is 20 and at the end of 1st week population increases to 30.

Let us find growth percentage of insect  population,

\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{Difference}}{Actual} \cdot100

\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{30-20}}{20} \cdot100

\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{10}}{20} \cdot100

\text{Growth percentage}=0.5 \cdot100=50

We can see that insect population is growing at rate of 50% per week.

Now let us write an exponential function for our population.

P(w)=20(1+0.50)^{w}, where P(w) represents population at the end of w weeks.

Let us substitute w=11 in our function to find insect population at the end of 11 weeks.

P(11)=20(1+0.50)^{11}

P(11)=20(1.50)^{11}

P(11)=20\cdot 86.49755859375

P(11)=1729.951171875\approx 1730

Therefore, population of insects at the end of 11th week will be 1730.

The sum of the ages of Rudy and his father is 58 years. The difference in their ages is 32 years. How old is each ?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Rudy is 13 years old. Her father is 45 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's very simple actually!

<u>All you need to do is subtract 32:</u>

58 - 32 = 26

<u>Then divide:</u>

<u />

26 ÷ 2 = 13

13 is Rudy's age. Let's find her father's age!

<u>We then add 32 back to 13:</u>

32 + 13 = 45

And there you have it!

Hope this helped!  :)
