Answer:

g(n)=80×3^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First term (a)=80

The ant population tripled every week.

So, the population of ant after 1st week will be (80 × 3) = 240

After 2 weeks, the population triples again.

We have, (240 × 3) = 720

Common ratio (r)=720/240

=3

r=3

The ants population is increasing in a geometric progression

A geometric progression is given by

g(n)=a × r^(n-1)

Substitute values of a and r to get the explicit formula

g(n)=a × r^(n-1)

g(n)=80×3^(n-1)

72 is what percent of 45?<br><br> __ = p/100<br><br> p= __
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

72 of 45 is 160%

Step-by-step explanation:

72 of 45 can be written as:

\frac{72}{45}

To find percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100

\frac{72}{45} *\frac{100}{100}

=(\frac{72*100}{45} )*\frac{1}{100} =\frac{160}{100}

Therefore, the answer is 160%

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 72÷45×100 which will give you 160 as the answer.

Complete the square
first isolate x terms
y=(x^2-4x)-9
complete square inside (take 1/2 of square of b )
-4/2=-2, (-2)^2=4
add 4-4 inside
y=(x^2-4x+4-4)-9
complete the square
y=((x-2)^2-4)-9
y=(x-2)^2-4-9
y=(x-2)^2-13

What is the length of segment CD question mark
blagie [28]

Answer:

CD = two square root of 10 end square root

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of a segment, use the distance formula. Substitute the order pairs for the endpoints of the segment. CD has the end points (-7, -4) and (-1, -2).

d = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{(-4--2)^2 + (-7--1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{-2^2 + -6^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 36}\\\\d=\sqrt {40} = 2\sqrt{10}
