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)

Suppose 72 gallons of water came out of a pipe in 8 minutes.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

9 gallons of water per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

First identify what you know:

1) The pipe was flowing water for eight minutes.

2) In that eight minutes, 72 gallons of water came out.

So, if 72 gallons of water came out in eight minutes, how many gallons flowed out in a single minute? Well, assuming that the flow rate was consistent, then simply divide the total number of gallons that flowed out, by the number of minutes the pipe was open!

72/8 = 9

The pipe released 9 gallons of water per minute, thus resulting in 72 gallons of water in 8 minutes!

Hope this helps! :)
