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.

A rectangle and a square have the same area. The width of the rectangle is 2 in less than the side of the square and the length
lina2011 [118]
The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.

W=S-2 and L=2S-3

And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.

S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:

S^2=(2S-3)(S-2)  perform indicated multiplication on right side

S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6  combine like terms on right side

S^2=2S^2-7S+6  subtract S^2 from both sides

S^2-7S+6=0  factor:

S^2-S-6S+6=0

S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0

(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:

S=6 is the only valid value for S.  Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...

W=S-2 and L=2S-3  given that S=6 in

W=4 in and L=9 in

So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.
